Next-generation interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) systems may provide the basis for establishing an earthquake-forecasting capability within a twenty-year time frame. Such systems would need to provide data with fine temporal resolution, so the system architecture would need to allow for wide-area coverage in order to minimize the effective interferometric repeat time. This paper...

Managing the infoglut in this information age requires more than the traditional and xed computing environment in order to keep up with fast changing technologie. Cellular and mobile communications ooer exibility in accessing and manipulating information without restricting users to speciic locations. While this technology is revolutionary in its approach to managing data, many issues remain to...

The shortening of product realization times and the increase of product complication require multidisciplinary experts to cooperate dynamically and closely in the whole product development lifecycle, behavior that has been previously unfamiliar. To further improve the design cooperation efficiency under this environment, this paper presents a novel cooperative design architecture using revoluti...

Istudy how a revolutionary vanguard might use violence to mobilize a mass public. The mechanism is informational—–the vanguard uses violence to manipulate population member’s beliefs about the level of antigovernment sentiment in society. The model has multiple equilibria, one equilibrium in which there may be revolution and another in which there is certain not to be. In the former, structural...

The new energy revolution, of which the primary energy will be based on renewable energy sources and the terminal energy will be based on electric power, will have a revolutionary impact on the future power grids. In order to develop the corresponding power grid for the future energy system, first of all, the architecture and mode of operation of the future power grid must be investigated. In t...

Despite skepticism concerning the latest buzz phrases about Web services, leading-edge companies have already begun deploying Web services that are giving them competitive advantages. Major platform vendors are now rolling out revolutionary tools aimed at simplifying the creation and deployment of Web services. Promising cheap, reliable, flexible, and scalable computing as well as quality web s...

Active and programmable networks allow innovative new services to be deployed rapidly. However, in a carrier grade network, it is imperative to maintain a scalable fast path mechanism so that the delay and throughput requirements are met. This is particularly important since, in many cases, network-level processing is only needed for a subset of packets and the remainder of traffic must be forw...

Genetic mapping and positional cloning of genetically complex traits in the laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus) has recently led to the identification of various susceptibility genes in different rat models. Rat genetics has benefited from revolutionary advances in molecular biology, genetics, genomics and informatics and provide an unparalleled resource for molecular genetic investigation of ma...

IEC61850 communication standard for digital substation automation creates a new way to think about conventional protection scheme and configuration of substation. The presence of communication link in process bus makes a revolutionary change for future digital substation. This paper discusses briefly about process bus architecture and presents a new approach of thinking in busbar structure to m...

The Harvard community has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. For the famous Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, and surrounding tombs and temples, just west of modern Cairo (3rd millennium BCE), the Giza Project at Harvard University is blending older traditional archives (dig photos, archaeological drawings, object metadata) with realistic...
