We present Alice, a functional programming language that has been designed with strong support for typed open programming. It incorporates concurrency with data flow synchronisation, higher-order modularity, dynamic modules, and type-safe pickling as a minimal and generic set of simple, orthogonal features providing that support. Based on these mechanisms Alice offers a flexible notion of compo...

Studies of the dependency between complex, dynamic systems and their human operators often focus on human-computer interactions without considering the emergent properties of human-machine systems in use. As systems become more complex, and typical operating environments more dynamic, the role of the operator has typically changed from providing manual to cognitive control. The nature of the in...

Abstract Different types of glass-ceramic composites are being researched around the world as potential matrices for nuclear waste conditioning. To demonstrate their long-term durability and build a safety case geological disposal, accelerated irradiation tests simulating He accumulation effects recoil nucleus damage needed. study behaviour in these materials, particularly, zirconolite-based gl...

background and objectives: adhesion and colonization are prerequisites for the establishment of bacterial pathogenesis. the biofilm development of pseudomonas aeruginosa was assessed on adhesive surfaces like dialysis membrane, stainless steel, glass and polystyrene. materials and methods: microtiter plate biofilm assay was performed to assess the effect of nutrient medium and growth parameters...

Polyvinyl butyral is a material that widely used in the manufacture of laminated glass sheets. film as an intermediate layer for automotive or architectural glass. The primarily ensures safety function Other advantages with polyvinyl interlayer include it can be adapted to perform other functions, including acoustic anti-reflection functions enabling information projected on this interlayer. In...

The Sierra Nevada’s biological distinction and diversity are almost as legendary as its spectacular peaks and beautiful granite landscapes. The Sierra Nevada is recognized as a zoogeographic region on the basis of the coincidence of species ranges (for example, Udvardy 1969, 1975; Welsh 1994). Udvardy (1969) defined the Sierra Nevada bioregion as bounded by the Great Basin to the north and east...
