OPTIMUM-AIV: A planning and scheduling system for spacecraft AIV

This paper presents a project undertaken for the European Space Agency (ESA). The project is developing a knowledge-based software system for planning and scheduling of activities for spacecraft assembly, integration, and verification (AIV). The system extends into the monitoring of plan execution and the plan repair phases. The objectives of the contract are to develop an operational kernel of...

Isotropic Subbundles of T M ⊕ T * M

We define integrable, big-isotropic structures on a manifold M as subbundles E ⊆ T M ⊕ T * M that are isotropic with respect to the natural, neutral metric g of T M ⊕ T * M , closed by Courant brackets and such that, if E ′ is the g-orthogonal bundle, the Courant brackets [X , Y], X ∈ ΓE, Y ∈ ΓE ′ , belong to ΓE ′. We give the interpretation of such a structure by objects of M , we discuss the ...

The lesser-known Mendel: his experiments on Hieracium.

The year 2006 is the 140th anniversary of Mendel’s pathbreaking article. It is appropriate that a journal devoted to genetics begin the year with an article about Mendel and his work. Much has been written about his deep insights and the failure of the biological community to recognize his work. Here, on this anniversary, instead of extolling his success, we present a scholarly account of Mende...
