This paper describes work conducted as a joint collaboration between the Virtual Design Team (VDT) research group at Stanford University (USA), the Systems Engineering Group (SEG) at De Montfort University (UK) and Elipsis Ltd. We describe a new docking methodology in which we combine the use of two radically different types of organizational simulation tool. The VDT simulation tool operates on...

Near-infrared spectra of 50 elliptical galaxies in the Pisces, A2199 & A2634 clusters, and in the general field, have been obtained. The strength of the CO (2.3 µm) absorption feature in these galaxies is used to explore the presence of an intermediate-age population (e.g. Asymptotic Giant Branch stars) in ellipticals in different environments. We find the strongest evidence for such a populati...

Experience and evolving technology have made it possible to combat marine pollution in more effective ways. Apart from a lack of appropriate reaction resources prior oil spill catastrophes, presently Turkiye has potent ability. The objective this research is establish the efficiency response which might emerge Istanbul Strait with available functionalities, as well offer suggestions over what o...

Hysterothylacium geschei n. sp. (Nematoda, Anisakidae) is described from the intestine of Cauque mauleanum (Steindachner) (Pisces: Atherinidae) from Lake Panguipulli (39 degrees-43'S; 72 degrees-13'W), Chile. Eleven (78.6%) out of 14 fish were infected, with a mean intensity (range) of 14.4 (1-55) worms. The new species can be differentiated from the two previously described species of freshwat...

We present a self–consistent nonparametric model of the cosmic velocity field based on the spatial distribution of IRAS galaxies in the recently completed all–sky PSCz redshift survey. The dense sampling of PSCz galaxies allows us to infer peculiar velocities field up to large distances with unprecedented high resolution. The most streaking feature of the PSCz model velocity field is a coherent...
