The characterization of the theoretical foundation of Individual Psychology in terms of upright posture was suggested to the present au thor by one of Adler's most significant childhood experiences: "One of my earliest recollections is of sitting on a bench, bandaged up on account of rickets, with my healthy elder brother sitting opposite me. He could run, jump and move about quite effortlessly...

A new species of the caridean family Hippolytidae, Thor hainanensis sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on specimens from Hainan Island, China. The carpus of the second pereopod is six-segmented; the mandible has only the incisor process and the molar process; the third segment of antennular peduncle has one subtriangular dorsal scale. Those morphological characters easily classify thi...

Techniques for error detection and fault tolerance for distributed real-time systems using fixed priority scheduling will be developed and studied. Specifically, techniques for node-level transient fault tolerance, and system-level replica determinism will be considered. Error detection and fault tolerance mechanisms will be implemented in a small real-time kernel and evaluated using both VHDL-...

There is an increasing amount of data in the world that is distributed over many machines. Some of this data may be relatively static. However, certain types of data may be changing frequently. Client applications may be interested in changes that are made to a small subset of the data. Notification of such changes allows a client to be made aware of changes that are made by another client appl...

? In the adaptive scheme presented by Slotine and Benedetto (1990) for attitude tracking control of rigid spacecraft, the spacecraft is parameterized in terms of the inertial frame. This paper shows how a pa-rameterization in body coordinates considerably simpliies the representation of the adaption scheme. The new symbolic expression for the regressor matrix is easy to nd even for 6 degrees of...

even inconsistencies(!), among the different authors. Anthologies, in a discipline such as phi losophy of language, are bet ter in that they (usually) contain primary sources. My own preference when teaching philosophy of language is not to use a single-author text (except at mos t to supplement the pr imary sources and to serve as a guide to the problems and the literature, for the student who...

In this paper we study a special operator for sequential compo sition which is de ned relative to a dependency relation over the actions of a given system The idea is that actions which are not dependent intuitively because they share no common resources do not have to wait for one another to proceed even if they are composed sequentially Such a notion has been studied before in a linear time s...
