It has been said that there is “no radio telescope in the world that is operating at its original design frequency and design specifications”. That will become very true for the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) after the end-to-end Upgrade will be completed in the Fall of 2002. The Westerbork telescope was the brainchild of Professor Jan Oort, who realized that after the “large” Dwin...

Cover Picture Story: Experiments with Modular State Spaces

The main analysis techniques for critical systems use state space exploration. However, one is often quickly limited by the so-called state space explosion problem, even if the systems models are relatively small. Several methods have been proposed to tackle this problem in order to get a manageable state space. One of these takes advantage of the modular structure of the model in order to buil...

Cover Picture: Nonlinear d10-ML2 Transition-Metal Complexes (ChemistryOpen 3/2013)

COVER PICTURE Lando P. Wolters and F. Matthias Bickelhaupt* The cover picture illustrates the authors' quantum chemical finding that π electrons can significantly bend otherwise linear d(10)-ML2 complexes through backbonding. The foreground features a typical series of linear and nonlinear computed equilibrium geometries, while, in the background, one discerns quantitative numerical output of t...
