Modern Network Interface Cards (NICs) incorporate programmable processors, DMA channels, and a significant amount of memory on them. Thus, they are becoming faster, smarter, and intelligent and are being designated as “Active Network Interfaces.” Similar to an executive offloading common tasks to his/her secretary, a modern NIC provides flexibility to offload parts of a communication protocol f...

Empirical evidence obtained from data covering Eurozone countries, other industrialized countries, and newly industrialized countries (NICs) over 1980– 2006 shows that exchange rate uncertainty has a consistent positive and significant effect on the volatility of bilateral trade flows. A one standard deviation increase in exchange rate uncertainty leads to an eight per cent increase in trade vo...

Nursing informatics competencies (NIC) refer to the knowledge and skills needed to effectively use technological resources to provide effective care using health care technology (TIGER, 2006). NICs are crucial in providing patient-centered care in healthcare, an industry that uses different technology to support clinical activities, for example, electronic health records (EHR). This study will ...

This paper develops a simple three-region model of the global economy along structuralist lines, with the North, NICs, and the (rest of the) South. The North produces an investment-cumconsumption good while the NICs and the South produce two different consumption goods. The North grows with excess capacity along Kalecki-Keynes lines; the NICs are modelled along Marxian lines with a given rate o...

The electronic structure and properties of the osmaabenzenes and para substituted osmabenzenes have been explored using the hybrid density functional mpw1pw91 theory. Systematic studies on the substituent effect in para substituted osmabenzenes complexes have been studied. The following substituents were taken into consideration: H, F, CH3,OH, NH2,CN, NO<...

صخلملا Seasonal variation of zooplankton biomass has been carried out at two selected sites on Greater Zab River. Monthly samples of water were collected during period from January to December 2008. Some physico-chemical properties of water were studied including water temperature (from 8 to 30.5 C), hydrogen ion concentration (from 6.3 to 8), EC (from 255 to 821 μs.cm), turbidity (1085 NTU), d...

In this work we quantify the local aromaticity of six-membered rings in a series of planar and bowl-shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and fullerenes. The evaluation of local aromaticity has been carried out through the use of structurally (HOMA) and magnetically (NICS) based measures, as well as by the use of a new electronically based indicator of aromaticity, the para delocalizat...

The geometries of a series of nine 4-substituted nitrophenols and 4-substituted nitrophenolates (X = H, CONH2, CHO, COOH, COCH3, COCl, CN, NO2, NO) and of their conformers, where the nitro group rotates by 10o from  = 0° to  = 90°, were optimized at the B3LYP/6-311+G** DFT level. These data were used to analyse the effect of rotating of the nitro group on -electron delocalization in the ring...
