Robotic Telescopes: A Link between Astronomically Developed and Astronomically Developing Countries

Astronomically tuned geomagnetic polarity timescale for the

Cycle stratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic analyses of a -5000-m-thick composite section obtained by scientific coring in the Newark rift basin of eastern North America provide a high-resolution astronomically calibrated geomagnetic polarity timescale (GPTS) spanning over 30 m.y. of the Late Triassic and earliest Jurassic. Only normal polarity is found in -1000 m of interbedded volcanics and ...

E-Government Between Developed and Developing Countries

E-government aims to offer services the country’s' communities both in public or private sectors by using the ICT tools to reduce the cost and times by eradication of manifestations of routines and bureaucracy. All countries around the world are seeking to implement and diffuse egovernment services, especially the developing countries, and to do that they have to overcome a range of factors tha...

Electronic Government Implementation: A Comparison between Developed and Developing Countries

Astronomically tuned geomagnetic polarity timescale for the Late Triassic

Cycle stratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic analyses of a -5000-m-thick composite section obtained by scientific oring in the Newark rift basin of eastern North America provide a high-resolution astronomically calibrated geomagnetic polarity timescale (GPTS) spanning over 30 m.y. of the Late Triassic and earliest Jurassic. Only normal polarity is found in -1000 m of interbedded volcanics and c...

The genetic signature of (astronomically induced) life extinctions

The current understanding of supernova and gamma-ray burst events suggests important effects on the biosphere if one of more of them happened to strike the earth in the past. In this paper we evaluate the possibility that life extinctions which probably occurred due to excess of radiation occurring in the geologic past might have left a genetic signature on surviving species. We emphasize the s...
