Recent papers published in this journal (Stern et al., 1983; Calman and Chamberlain, 1983) have modified our understanding of the structure of Limulus ventral photoreceptors. The receptor's light-sensitive rhabdom has been found to be restricted to one or more specialized lobes termed R (rhabdomeral) lobes. In the light microscope, the R lobes can be distinguished from the A (arhabdomeral) lobe...

< New boundary conditions were derived to account for the Stern layer without simulating formally it. < Both the Stern and diffuse layers were rigorously accounted for. < The new boundary conditions were valid for planar, cylindrical, and spherical electrodes or pores. < They made possible the simulations of EDLCs with highly ordered porous

The Stern-Gerlach effect is well known as spin-dependent splitting of a beam of atoms with magnetic moments by a magnetic-field gradient. Here, we show that an induced gauge potential may lead to a similar effect for chiral molecules. In the presence of three inhomogeneous light fields, the center of mass of a three-level chiral molecule is subject to an optically induced gauge potential, and t...

In 1858, Stern introduced an array, later called the diatomic array. The array is formed by taking two values a and b for the first row, and each succeeding row is formed from the previous by inserting c+d between two consecutive terms with values c, d. This array has many interesting properties, such as the largest value in a row of the diatomic array is the (r + 2)-th Fibonacci number, occurr...

In this paper, we propose a dual version of the first threshold ring signature scheme based on error-correcting code proposed by Aguilar et. al in [1]. Our scheme uses an improvement of Véron zero-knowledge identification scheme, which provide smaller public and private key sizes and better computation complexity than the Stern one. This scheme is secure in the random oracle model. Keywords—Ste...

The Review first examines the evidence on the economic impacts of climate change itself, and explores the economics of stabilising greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The second half of the Review considers the complex policy challenges involved in managing the transition to a low-carbon economy and in ensuring that societies can adapt to the consequences of climate change that can no longer be...
