in the framework of the mytilos project (interreg iiib medocc), international research cruises were carried out in 2006 in order to evaluate the level of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah) along the coast of the western basin of the mediterranean sea. caged mussels (mytilus galloprovincialis) were placed in situ at six sites in the north coast of tunisia. results showed to...

in this paper we set out to accomplish several goals. primarily, we seek to re-interpret guy debord’s (1967) work the society of the spectacle in light of modern-day schooling, principally within north america (although we recognize the global connectivity inherent in any current discussion of formal education). in addition, we aim to utilize debord’s conceptualizations as a series of means and...

Simulation has been utilized in the planning and development of almost all sectors of the transportation field. The practicing transportation community primarily relies on simulation packages, as opposed to “ground up” simulation development. Unfortunately, the use of these simulation packages has several disadvantages, most notably the “black box” phenomenon and reduced modeling flexibility. T...

structural evolution of alborz has already been mentioned by many researchers all over the world. central alborz is located in the bending of the eastern and the western alborz. damavand volcano is situated in the bending part along the great and active faults such as mosha, north of baijan, ask, nava and ira. the nava and ira faults are in the eastern side of damavand volcano with a trend of e...

In this paper we show that it is always possibk to reduce errors for some forms of inductive Inference by increasing the numller of machines involved in the inference process. Moreover, we obtain precise bounds for the number of machines required to reduce any given number of errors. The type of inference we consider here was originally defined by Barzdin [l] (called GN” inference 1, and later ...

A recent analysis of the He abundance determined from observations of extragalactic HII regions indicates a significantly greater uncertainty for the He mass fraction. The derived value is now in line with predictions from big bang nucleosynthesis when the baryon density determined by WMAP is assumed. Based on this new analysis of He, we derive constraints on a host of particle properties which...

Founding harmonic analysis on classical simple complex groups, I.M. Gelfand and M.A. Naimark in their classical book [GN] posed three basic questions: unitary duals, characters of irreducible unitary representations and Plancherel measures. In the case of reductive p-adic groups, the only series of reductive groups where unitary duals are known are general linear groups. In this paper we reduce...
