Grid technologies provide an infrastructure through which, amongst other things, data access and integration is facilitated across highly distributed and heterogeneous resources. Different domains have their own requirements on the nature of this data access and integration. The clinical domain offers arguably the greatest challenges facing the roll-out and adoption of Grid technologies to meet...

In this paper, we present XtremWeb, a Global Computing platform used to generate monte carlos showers in Auger [? ]. XtremWeb main goal, as a Global Computing platform, is to compute distributed applications using idle time of widely interconnected machines. It is especially dedicated to -but not limited tomulti-parameters applications such as monte carlos computations; its security mechanisms ...

INTRODUCTION Wildlife is an important source of protein for many people in developing countries. Yet wildlife depletion due to overexploitation is common throughout the humid tropics and its effect on protein security, especially for vulnerable households, is poorly understood. This is problematic for both sustainable rural development and conservation management. METHODS This study investiga...

security priorities of a country are not only affected by its internal situation, but sometimes regional situation is also a determinant factor of these priorities. the effectiveness of regional situations is especially when the subject country has a growing economy. after the collapse of ussr, the central asia had the same effect on china’s security priorities. china is an emerging global powe...
