A ferry between cultures
the new field of research into the ethical, legal and social aspects of scientific and technological developments (ElSa) is rapidly becoming a professional field with grants, research programmes and university departments devoted to it. at first glance, ElSa seems to be a new development intended to address questions and challenges that arise from advances in the natural sciences. the professio...
متن کاملWorkstations : ferry Werner MCC
Workstation processing power and the number of available workstation application tools have increased dramatically in the last five years. Sophisticated users now find that "real work" can be accomplished on CAD/CAE workstations. In "Conversion of an IC Design Capability from a Mainframe to a Workstation Environment," Dave Palmer and John Wisniewski from Sandia National Laboratories recount the...
متن کاملHow some medicolegal aspects of the Zeebrugge Ferry disaster apply to the investigation of mass disasters.
The capsizing of a British Channel ferry as it left Zeebrugge, Belgium's harbor, on the 6th of March, 1987, resulted in an all-out effort by Belgian and British authorities to identify the victims as well as to determine the medicolegal ramifications. This report describes the investigation and the lessons learned from it.
متن کاملOpportunistic Scheduling in Ferry-Based Networks
Ferry-based networks provide a means of bringing extremely low-cost Internet access to remote rural areas, where conventional access technologies, e.g., dial-up, DSL and CDMA, are currently economically infeasible. We present an architecture for ferry-based networks and identify downlink scheduling as a difficult open problem. We argue that opportunistic scheduling policies that take ferry sche...
متن کاملA reduced integer programming model for the ferry scheduling problem
We present an integer programming model for the ferry scheduling problem, improving existing models in various ways. In particular, our model has reduced size in terms of the number of variables and constraints compared to existing models by a factor of approximately O(n), where n being the number of ports. The model also handles efficiently load/unload time constraints, crew scheduling and pas...
