I review our current understanding of the structures and ages of the host galaxies of quasars, and the masses of their central black holes. At low redshift, due largely to the impact of the Hubble Space Telescope, there is now compelling evidence that the hosts of quasars with MV < −24 mag are virtually all massive ellipticals, with basic properties indistinguishable from those displayed by the...

Despite signiicant improvements in network interfaces and software messaging layers, software communication overhead still dominates the hardware routing cost in most parallel systems. In this study, we identify the sources of this overhead by relating user communication services to particular network hardware features. Based on a detailed analysis of the active messages layer on the CM-5, we a...

“Miss B, after the cessation of the catamenial period, became insensibly more and more languid, with general increase of bulk. This change went from year to year, her face altering from oval to round, much like the full moon at rising ... Had one not proof that such a patient had been previously fine-featured, well-formed, and active, it would be natural to suppose that it was an original defec...

There is a stable relationship between the Openness/Intellect domain of personality and aesthetic engagement. However, neither of these are simple constructs and while the relationship exists, process based evidence explaining the relationship is still lacking. This research sought to clarify the relationship by evaluating the influence of the Openness and Intellect aspects on several different...

The case for prioritizing the study of the biology of aging can be persuasively made by making explicit its connection to the exercise of the intellectual virtues needed to realize well-ordered science. These intellectual virtues include a range of attitudes and dispositions integral to all areas of science (e.g. sensitivity to details, adaptability of intellect, the detective's virtues), but t...

The article analyzes the relation between philosophy and theology in Thomas Aquinas context of difference light active intellect faith. faith perfects strengthens natural light; because that, reason is subservient to higher faith, cannot contradict it has submit it. Theology uses first principles that are presuppositions all thinking; theological reflection correct defend against its inherent d...

conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. in modern distribution networks distributed generation (dg) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. dg units are generally modeled as pv or pq nodes which inject ...
