The field of Art Music is based on sufficiently different values than those of popular music. According to the author, a (classical) contemporary music composer, the idea of intellectual ownership in Art Music is inextricably connected with the concepts of originality and structure as opposed to surface elements such as strings of notes or specifically recognizable timbres which frequently form...

The emerging aeld of research that examines the link between information and communication technology and socioeconomic development (ICTD) has been carried forward by researchers mapping methods from their home disciplines onto this new terrain. With this journal logging six years of history (Best & Bar, 2003) and with the third International Conference on Information and Communication Technolo...

Triple graph grammars, an extension of pair graph grammars, were introduced for the specification of graph translaters. We developed a framework which constitutes an industrial application of triple graph grammars. It solves integration problems in a specific domain, namely design processes in chemical engineering. Here, different design representations of a chemical plant have to be kept consi...

The sequence of heterocyclic bases on the interior of the DNA double helix constitutes the genetic code that drives the operation of all living organisms. With this said, it is not surprising that chemical modification of cellular DNA can have profound biological consequences. Therefore, the organic chemistry of DNA damage is fundamentally important to diverse fields including medicinal chemist...

Attachment of chemical substituents (such as polar moieties) constitutes an efficient and convenient way to modify physical and chemical properties of conjugated polymers and oligomers. Associated modifications in the molecular electronic states can be comprehensively described by examining scattering of excitons in the polymer's backbone at the scattering center representing the chemical subst...

This paper presents an innovative web-based „green‟ remote process control laboratory focused on the necessity of chemical control education community. The usefulness of the remote laboratory proposed in this paper is justified by two relevant factors: the opportunity of organizing remote experiments, saving students time and money; and the integration of the „Sustainability‟ (transversal compe...

New concepts in thermodynamics are further extended and combined with a principle of virtual dissipation to provide general equations of evolution of collective open chemical systems. A new definition of the chemical potential is introduced, and some new expressions for the affinity are discussed. Application of the principle of virtual dissipation leads very simply to quite general continuum f...
