been handcuffed, interrogated, held in a cell and maltreated by American security staff. This was as a result of landing at Los Angeles International Airport for a brief stay with the incorrect type of visa. With imminent laws insisting that all new passports contain biometric data such as fingerprints and iris scans, worse appears on the way. Many travellers are also desperately hoping Congres...

Mount points" allow more storage to be grafted into tree-structured hierarchical file systems. Administrative tasks use their 10~ltionS, which are tabulated in a file. In our System V U~IX environment, this file was occasionally removed. Getmnt was written to recover the information. Getmnt has had three significant versions. The original version (getmntl) was a highly optimized naive tree trav...

In this paper we present preliminary results of a turbulence monitoring campaign at the Mount John University Observatory using a bread-board based SCIDAR (SCIntillation Detection And Ranging) system. Simultaneous SCIDAR and generalised SCIDAR data are captured and used to quantify the turbulence at the site. Initial results, including estimates of key turbulence parameters, are presented and d...

Present morphology of the Mt. Wellington summit area can be interpreted in terms of a system of cryoplanation, which operated during the Pleistocene, but bas now ceased. This involved the rapid frost shattering of exposed dolerite and the removal of this and previously weathered material by mass movement over slopes as low as 30 • Periglacial processes of land reduction were probably widespread...

This protocol comprises the entire process of immunofluorescence staining on mouse cochlea whole mount, starting from tissue preparation to the mounting of the tissue. This technique provides "three-dimensional" views of the stained components in order to determine the localization of a protein of interest in the tissue in its natural state and environment.

Over the past few year, electronic products, and especially those which fall within the category of Consumer Electronics, have been significantly reduced in physical size and weight. Products such as cellular telephones, lap-top computers, pagers, camcorders, etc., have been reduced by as much as 3/4 of their original introductory size and weight. The most significant contributing factor to thi...

this paper presents the application of the generalized differential quadrature (gdq) method for the hydrodynamic analysis of circular and noncircular, two lobe and three lobe, journal bearings. gdq is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. the effectiveness of the solution technique ...
