Three decades of Loki Patera observations

Loki Patera: the Bottom of a Sea Story?

Introduction: Loki Patera is the largest volcanic thermal source on Io [1-10]. Previously, we have considered Loki Patera as a magma 'sea' nearly 200 km in diameter, so-called as this is larger than any previously observed lava lake, and smaller than a magma 'ocean' [10-12]. The process by which a solid crust forms on the sea, thickens, and eventually founders has been previously described [6, ...

Three Decades of Multiprocessors

During the last 25 years, the author has never reallv considered any alternative to the multiprocessor (mP) for general-purpose, cost-effective, nonminimal come -rs. This involvement with mPs at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Encore, Stardent, and Kendall Square Research (KSR) included 16 computers. Fourteen were built, including 7 for research or advance...

Three Decades of Continuous Records for Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL)

The Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (BCL) was established in 1986 at Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IBB), University of Tehran as the main base and the mother of biophysical chemistry in Iran. BCL is a famous worldwide research lab in the area of thermodynamics of protein denaturation and biomacromolecular interaction. The first student that joined BCL was MSc student in 1987, while...

Three decades of institution theory

institution to a system of institutions, i.e. a diagram of institutions, more precisely. However the thinking along these lines has led to a rather different and much more efficient solution, namely that of the ‘flattening’ of the respective diagram of institutions to a single institution by extending a corresponding construction from category theory [49] to institutions. The resulting concept ...
