By placing changeable nanofabricated structures (wires, dots, etc.) on an atom mirror one can design guiding and trapping potentials for atoms. These potentials are similar to the electrostatic potentials which trap and guide electrons in semiconductor quantum devices like quantum wires and quantum dots. This technique will allow the fabrication of nanoscale atom optical devices. PACS. 03.75.Be...

The use of component{oriented systems in a workkow system solves several problems of today's workkow systems like e. g. lacking adaptability. For that purpose, however, both systems must be modiied and coupled in a two level system. In this paper several modiications are proposed that will improve the systems' cooperation, like the creation of interfaces and the provision of a process context, ...

Placental site trophoblastic tumor (PSTT) is a rare type of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). It is rising from the abnormal proliferation of intermediate trophoblastic cells with occasional multinuclear giant cells, with the potential for local invasion and metastasis. For its untypical and changeable clinical characteristics, the diagnosis and management are still poorly understood. ...

For centuries, humankind accepts truth to be something static and global but Nietzsche has famously argued that truth is a metaphor and for that matter changeable and perennially evolving. As I hope to show here, this radical view has resulted out of Nietzsche’s meta-commentary on language and logic. The main purpose of this article is to examine the key points of Nietzsche’s arguments and the ...

Frequency dependent conductivity of amorphous polymeric solid electrolyte containing LiN(SO2CF3)2 (LiTFSI) or LiBF4 was studied. Successive heating and cooling cycles showed changeable conductivity behavior, which was due to chemistry change in the lithium salts. Both salts showed a tendency of decreasing conductivity in the second cooling process. The decrease in conductivity behavior for samp...

Nosocomial bloodstream infections are a leading cause of death in the United States. If we assume a nosocomial infection rate of 5%, of which 10% are bloodstream infections, and an attributable mortality rate of 15%, bloodstream infections would represent the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Because most risk factors for dying after bacteremia or fungemia may not be changeabl...

Unlearning is the deliberate undoing or reversal of what has been previously learned. This skill has been acknowledged in business and academia as being increasingly important for engineers in a highly changeable 21st century environment; additionally, industry have recently flagged a real-world skill deficit in graduates that can be remedied using the concept of unlearning. This paper shows th...

The volatility of network environments requires service connections to adapt to changes of service resources and user requirements. In this paper, we treat service connections as individual components called service connectors and present an adaptable service connector model that adopts a role mechanism to adjust connections between services. A role is an abstraction of services with common fun...

For microorganisms to colonize terrestrial habitats they must evolve effective mechanisms to prevent water loss from their cells. This is imperative, not only for them to subsist in the same environment during changeable prevailing conditions, but also for their offspring to spread to new habitats. Considering the overriding importance of this evolutionary adaptation to living on land, we know ...
