ion The logfull() byte code is modelled by an SMV [8] module that involves the following variables: pc: program counter; mem[i]: an array modelling the memory locations; stck[i]: an array modelling the operand stack; sP : stack pointer; ByteCode: the name of the current instruction. The values of the variables are abstracted into levels. Levels are de ned in a module called Levels in such a way...

The paper describes the status of a joint project between Gemplus and ONERA. Gemplus developed an electronic purse running on Java enabled smart cards. The project goal is to verify security properties that should be enforced by the applets involved in this application. A security policy has been deened that associates levels to applet attributes and methods and deenes authorized ows between le...

Satellite-linked buoys used by tropical tuna purse-seine vessels on drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) provide a continuous stream of information both the ocean characteristics and presence size aggregations associated with DFADs, enabling study pelagic communities. This unprecedented amount data is characterized ocean-scale coverage high spatial temporal resolutions, but also different ...

This article explores the endemic time-spaces of Finnish aquatic regimes. More precisely, it examines the socio-ecological relationships between Finns and lakes, rivers, and marshes-mires. First, the 'engine' of endemic time-space research, land use, and occupancy documentation, is explored in the Finnish context. Then two catchment areas, Kokemäenjoki in Western Finland and Vuoksi in Eastern F...

Recently, Xenopus oocytes have been shown to repair wounds using a contractile system composed of actin and myosin-II. The work underscores the importance of actin-based myosin-II contractility in cellular and supracellular 'purse strings' that function in diverse biological processes.

Healthcare professionals in South Africa (SA) are facing challenging times. As the clinical negligence claims environment in SA deteriorates, the impact is being felt by healthcare professionals, but also by the wider public owing to the strain that costs place on the public purse. The authors look at the current claims environment, and explain why a debate about reform is so important.
