We tend to perceive and emphasize the transition from Late Antiquity Early Middle Ages, especially in North Africa, through ruptures changes. This collection of papers highlights, alongside major changes transformations that affected entire Mediterranean region, longer-term processes developments Africa between AD 500 1000. In this time frame, region is shaped by Vandal, Byzantine Arab conquest...

We present the status and preliminary results of the analysis of kinematically fully reconstructed weak bosons at the STAR experiment. The transverse single-spin asymmetry (AN) has been measured in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at √ s = 500 GeV, with a recorded integrated luminosity of 25 pb−1. The measured observable is sensitive to the non-universality of the Sivers function...

Future Smart Grid systems will intelligently monitor and control energy flows in order to improve the efficiency and reliability of power delivery. This monitoring and control requires low-delay, highly reliable communication between customers, local utilities and regional utilities. A vital part of future Smart Grids is the two-way communication links between smart meters at the customer sites...

− The results of a comparison in differential pressure between CEM-Spain and CENAM-Mexico are presented here. The comparison was performed in 2008. A high accuracy digital manometer was used for the comparison. The manometer had good behaviour during the period of the comparison, having a small drift which had no effect in the comparison. The results of the measurements showed very good agreeme...
