In this paper, we propose a framework to systematically analyze the structural form and thematic content of codes of ethics related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT codes of ethics). Then we apply this framework, within a sample of 30 organizations. Our purpose is to assess the organizational ethical positioning advocated by these ICT codes of ethics, using an adaptation of Kohl...

A key point in the CMD-problems is that the universe to be specified is not an example from a textbook but a piece of reality like a bank or an airport. In addition, the specification has to be somehow extracted from multiple, very informal and often hardly consistent descriptions provided by different people. Moreover, as the process of information system design is going on, and mutual underst...

Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most widespread and economically important disease of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in tropical Africa. A disease of cassava was first described in East Africa in the nineteenth century (Warburg, 1894) and cassava mosaic, as it came to be called, was subsequently reported as spreading throughout the cassava-growing areas of Central and West Africa (Calve...

Evidence is presented to suggest that, in three dimensions, spherical 6-designs with N points exist for N = 24, 26, ≥ 28; 7-designs for N = 24, 30, 32, 34, ≥ 36; 8-designs for N = 36, 40, 42, ≥ 44; 9-designs for N = 48, 50, 52, ≥ 54; 10-designs for N = 60, 62, ≥ 64; 11-designs for N = 70, 72, ≥ 74; and 12-designs for N = 84, ≥ 86. The existence of some of these designs is established analytical...

Is Europe a train on track, moving from past to future, pulled by an engine called development, or rather, sustainable development (to be politically correct)? Are there no sidings or optional routes? Is the speed of this train accelerating? Is the engine driver however facing squarely ahead, concentrating solely on the future within the narrow scope of his floodlights, and thus ignoring the pa...

The project of upgrading the detector CMD-2 is presented. The upgraded detector is called CMD-2M and is going to take data with new collider VEPP-2000 at BINP. The general structure of the detector CMD-2 will remain as is but major parameters of the detector, such as momentum and angular resolution for charged particle and energy and spatial resolution for photons, will be substantially improved.

Detachment control in DEMO is a fundamental requirement to prevent damage the plasma facing components. Thermo-currents flowing through components of divertor cassette are driven by thermoelectric voltage generated temperature difference between inner and outer target plates. Shunt Rogowski coil measurements measure thermo-currents for detachment on ITER planned. Thermo-current ASDEX Upgrade ha...

for $q in {7,8,9,11,13,16}$, we consider the primitive actions of $l_2(q)$ and use key-moori method 1 as described in [codes, designs and graphs from the janko groups {$j_1$} and{$j_2$}, {em j. combin. math. combin. comput.}, {bf 40} (2002) 143--159., correction to: ``codes, designs and graphs from the janko groups{$j_1$} and {$j_2$}'' [j. combin. math. combin. comput. {bf 40} (2002) 143--159],...
