The possibility to deposit purely organic and hybrid inorganic-organic materials in a way parallel to the state-of-the-art gas-phase deposition method of inorganic thin films, i.e., atomic layer deposition (ALD), is currently experiencing a strongly growing interest. Like ALD in case of the inorganics, the emerging molecular layer deposition (MLD) technique for organic constituents can be emplo...

The article takes its cue from models of quantitative research applied to complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) and pinpoints some innovative features in the case at issue (Portugal). It goes on to outline new research scenarios moving beyond the either biomedical or CAM framework.

Members of the family Laccophyllidae are small, solitary rugose corals with stratigraphic ranges from Silurian to Permian. Among the laccophyllids, axial ends of major septa are united in an aulos and dissepiments may be absent or present. Minor septa can be contratingent and sometimes are small or in some genera are absent. Septa and aulos may be thick or thin. In this study, Famennian rugose...

The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary widely used in biomedical knowledge systems, particularly for semantic indexing of scientific literature. As the MeSH hierarchy evolves through annual version updates, some new descriptors are introduced that were not previously available. This paper explores conceptual provenance these descriptors. In particular, we inves...

A growing number of companies are using these approaches in helping to synthesize designs ... enabling the automaker to achieve a 50% improvement in product development efficiency, cost savings exceeding $10 billion, and a compression of vehicle development time by 18 months.

land cover information is one of the most important prerequisite in urban management system. in this way remote sensing, as the most economic technology, is mainly used to produce land cover maps. considering the complicated and dense urban areas in third world countries, object based approaches are suggested as an effective image processing technique. the purpose of this paper are the introduc...

MEN TEACHING MEN AT BOOT CAMP When Steve Maldonado became regional vice president for marketing at PeaceHcalth in Longvievv, WA, little did he realize that part of his role would be to teach fathers how to handle their newborns. But in addition to his marketing responsibilities, Maldonado teaches "Boot Camp for New Dads," a unique workshop for new and soon-to-be fathers developed by Boot Camp f...

one of the most fundamental reservoir characteristics is the thickness. the analysis of thin bed tuning on seismic reflectivity has been studied extensively by wides (1973) and neidel and pogiaggliomi (1977), who discussed the limits of seismic resolution. during the past decade, the industry has developed a plethora of new attributes in studying thin beds by employing spectral decomposition (p...
