In this study, an effort has been made to analyze the aromaticity of oligomers phenylenes and thiophenes, with presence absence linkers using Nucleus-Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) as a descriptor. The relation between HOMO–LUMO gaps, reorganization excitation energies respective NICS values employed develop structure-aromaticity-conjugation spectroscopy relationship (SACSR). Results show th...

Application of the geometry (HOMA, EN, GEO) and magnetism based (NICS, NICS(1)) indices of aromaticity to optimised geometry of the ring in 12 meta – and 12 para – substituted benzoic acids and their anions by use of DFT computations at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level has shown a very low substituent effect on the π-electron delocalisation. This resembles (qualitatively) the resistance of benzene (and...

GAMMA is a prototype lightweight communication system based on the Active Ports paradigm, designed for eecient implementation over Fast Ethernet interconnects. The original implementation started in 1996 based on 3Com 3C595 cards. The optimizations obtained on that NICs allowed us to obtain the lowest latency and highest throughput results ever published in the literature for Fast Ethernet. Tec...

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<...
