After more than a century since its birth, Quantum Theory still eludes our under1 standing. If asked to describe it, we have to resort to abstract and ad hoc principles about 2 complex Hilbert spaces. How is it possible that a fundamental physical theory cannot be de3 scribed using the ordinary language of Physics? Here we offer a contribution to the problem, 4 providing a short non-technical p...

The Visionair Project aims at the creation of a distributed infrastructure of technological facilities in Europe as a visible, attractive entry point towards research and experimentation in high level visualisation, virtual reality and augmented reality fields, for hosting international researchers and giving them the opportunity of trying and practicing their ideas and their research topics. T...

Across the globe, critical infrastructures constantly face the risk of cyber and/or other attacks from hostile and malicious entities as well as damage inflicted by natural disasters. This paper seeks to identify the critical infrastructure sectors of a country, namely India, and to explore the dependencies existing among them. The research draws on the extant literature as well as expert opini...

Drawing from the resource complementarity perspective of the resource-based view of a firm; this study examines the complementary role of governance dimensions namely, voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption on the relationship between telecommunication infrastructure in a country and its e-government de...

Due to many cyber attacks in the last years, governments are realizing how vulnerable they have become should there be a break out of a cyberwar. This urged them to establish a cyber warfare information infrastructure in a short time. However, this cyber warfare information infrastructure relies heavily on public infrastructures, like electricity and the Internet, which will be most likely targ...

Drawing from the resource complementarity perspective of the resource-based view of a firm, this study examines the complementary role of governance dimensions— namely, voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption—on the relationship between information infrastructure in a country and its egovernment developm...

Traditionally, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have to interconnect with content providers to provide network services to customers. Current business model that connectivity and bandwidth become commodities has motivated ISPs to distribute content and other application-specific services to their customers using their own infrastructure. It is desirable for ISPs to economize existing infrastru...

The new era of computing called Cloud Computing allows the user to access the cloud services dynamically over the Internet wherever and whenever needed. Cloud consists of data and resources; and the cloud services include the delivery of software, infrastructure, applications, and storage over the Internet based on user demand through Internet. In short, cloud computing is a business and econom...

ABSTRACT Advances in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a cornerstone structure elucidation of polycyclic 'cage' scaffolds. Due to the compactness these compounds, much overlap, as well unique through-space and bond NMR interactions are frequently observed. This review serves guide for future derivatives by providing some typical relevant aspects characteristic trends, substituent...
