We report the discovery of a new gravitational lens system from the CLASS survey. Radio observations with the VLA, the WSRT and MERLIN show that the radio source B0850+054 is comprised of two compact components with identical spectra, a separation of 0.7 arcsec and a flux density ratio of 6:1. VLBA observations at 5 GHz reveal structures that are consistent with the gravitational lens hypothesi...

A 3D microstructure of the non-woven gas diffusion layers (GDLs) of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is reconstructed using a stochastic method. For a commercial GDL, due to the planar orientation of the fibers in the GDL, 2D SEM image of the GDL surface is used to estimate the orientation of the carbon fibers in the domain. Two more microstructures with different fiber orientations are g...

Competitive Information Systems (CIS) are information systems which help a company to obtain and sustain a competitive edge. Before any such CIS can be implemented, the idea for it has to be formulated. The paper describes a way to systematically stimulate ideas by asking questions. It discusses the question generating mechanism as well as ways to focuses these questions. I t shows an implement...
