Bionanotechnology is a combination of three terms: “bios” meaning “life,” “nano” (origin in Greek) meaning “dwarf,” and “technologia” (origin in Greek—comprised of “techne” meaning “craft,” and “logia” meaning “saying”), which is a broad term dealing with the use and knowledge of humanity’s tools and crafts. Biomolecular Nanotechnology—or Bionanotechnology—is a term coined for the area of study...

S e p t e m b e r / O c t o b e r 1 9 9 8 I E E E S o f t w a r e 3 7 omponent-based software engineering is generating tremendous interest not just in the software community but in numerous industry sectors. Recent technology advances such as the Web, JavaBeans, ActiveX, and others spur this interest. But CBSE goes well beyond these technology enablers, as shown by the diverse perspectives bro...

At present time and state of the market where businesses and organizations are striving hard to survive and improve performance due to high availability of similar products and services, business processes or products are playing less and less significant role when it comes to differentiate oneself from the others. As a result, more and more firms are leaning towards selecting one or a few dist...

This report is a compendium of results uncovered in CS 851, spring semester 2002. Our goal is to provide direction to other graduate students who want to explore the fascinating eld of \data mining". Be aware that this represents the topics and the papers that we found most interesting. We made no attempt to be either \fair" or to be \comprehensive" as in a Computing Reviews article. Instead we...

Psychiatric classifi cations categorize how patients present to mental healthcare professionals and are necessarily utilitarian. From the clinician’s perspective, the most important goal of a psychiatric classifi cation is to assist them in managing their patients’ psychiatric conditions by facilitating the selection of effective interventions and predicting management needs and outcomes. Due t...

Organizations are collecting large volumes of data and processing and analyzing data in many complex ways. In such environments, the quality of data can be affected by a number of different hazards. Visual representation of the data processing environments can significantly ease the task of managing data quality. In this paper, we examine the state of research of one such visual representation,...

Electrophoretic image displays (EPIDs) are a very promising solution in the search for low-power, paper like reflective displays. While the technology is already mature, little is known about the internal physical properties. In this paper, we will describe which elements contribute to the charge transport and give an explanation of the steady state current. The contribution of the surfactant m...

FOX (Free Objects for Xtallography) is a computer program for solving crystal structures of all types of compounds using the powder data (but also the single crystal data) measured using X-ray, neutron and electron diffraction. It works in direct space using the reversed Monte Carlo algorithm of global optimization. Since its release fifteen years ago, it has developed into a powerful tool, sim...

The aim of this study is to analyse the current situation in dental autotransplantations within the different therapeutic alternatives that the Dentist has available to replace a tooth in the dental arcade. For some authors this is an option headed for failure, whereas for others, it is an alternative to keep in mind. In this study we analyse the factors related to the predictability of the te...

the application of ion current signals is one of the most recent approaches in engine management systems. by applying a small constant dc voltage across the electrodes of the spark plug and measuring the current through the electrode gap, the state of gas may be measured and investigated. in this paper a computer code is developed in order to analyze the state of gas during the combustion perio...
