The weakly coupled vacuum of E8⊗E8 heterotic string theory remains an attractive scenario for particle physics. The particle spectrum and the issue of dilaton stabilization are reviewed. A specific model for hidden sector condensation and supersymmetry breaking, that respects known constraints from string theory, is described, and its phenomenological and cosmological implications are discussed...

This paper discusses the difficulties of describing an appropriate notion of the security attributes caller and target in object-oriented middleware systems such as CORBA. Our analysis points out that, whilst there is no information available on the ORB layer to describe the caller and target, it is possible in practice to use descriptors from other layers. In CORBA security, the mechanism-spec...

با توجه به عدم­‌قطعیت‌های حاکم بر پروژه‌های عمرانی و تفاوت بارز آن‌ها صنایع خدماتی تولیدی از منظر محدوده زمان‌بندی کار، عوامل محیطی چالش‌های اجرایی، پیمانکاران کارفرمایان همواره اختلافات دعاوی قراردادی مواجه هستند. در چنین شرایطی، پژوهشی موضوع ضروری است. هدف این پژوهش، شناسایی مرتبط فرآیندهای طرح ادعا رویه مواجهه چالش‌ها راستا، لوایح ادعایی ارزیابی شدند. روش پژوهش به‌صورت کمّی ـ کیفی مشتمل بررسی...

Requests for recommendation can be seen as a form of query for candidate items, ranked by relevance. Users are however o‰en unable to crisply de€ne what they are looking for. One of the core concepts of natural communication for describing and explaining complex information needs in an intuitive fashion are analogies: e.g., “What is to Christopher Nolan as is 2001: A Space Odyssey to Stanley Ku...

This synopsis provides an identification key to the genera of Tribe Lachnophorini of the Western and Eastern Hemispheres including five genera previously misplaced in carabid classifications. The genus Asklepia Liebke, 1938 is revised with 23 new species added and four species reassigned from Eucaerus LeConte, 1853 to Asklepia Liebke, 1938. In addition, a new genus is added herein to the Tribe:...
