Naming transparencies, i.e., abstracting the name and binding of the entity being used from the endpoints that are actually doing the work, are used in distributed systems to simplify application development by hiding the complexity of the environment. In this paper we demonstrate how to apply traditional distributed systems naming and binding techniques in the Web Services realm. Specifically,...

Transparency in 3D graphics has traditionally been created by ordering the transparent objects from back-to-front with respect to the viewpoint, and rendering the opaque objects first and then the transparent objects in the prescribed order. This has three major disadvantages: need for splitting intersecting polygons, repeated ordering for varying view points, and finally, incorrect transparenc...

In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...

WHEREAS CHAPTER 2 OF THIS BOOK analysed directions and varieties of transparency, this chapter addresses a single question. Is transparency to be valued intrinsically or instrumentally, or both? Put differently, is transparency a core concern or is it a building block for other valued objects sought by public policy? There is not necessarily a single answer to this question, but posing it will ...

Title of Document: TRANSPARENCY AND TRUST IN JOURNALISM: AN EXAMINATION OF VALUES, PRACTICES AND EFFECTS Michael Koliska, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed By: Professor Linda Steiner, Philip Merrill College of Journalism Journalism scholars and practitioners have repeatedly argued that transparency is crucial to generate trust in the news media, which, over the years, has faced continues dec...

We show how the application of a coupling field connecting the two lower metastable states of a Lambda system facilitates stoppage of light in a coherently driven Doppler broadened atomic medium via electromagnetically induced transparency.

Theoretical description of the ferromagnetic π-junctions near the critical temperature Abstract The theory of ferromagnetic π-junction near the critical temperature is presented. It is demonstrated that in the dirty limit the modified Usadel equation adequately describes the proximity effect in ferromagnets. To provide the description of an experimentally relevant situation, oscillations of the...
