A handful of nearby supernovae (SNe) with visual extinctions of a few magnitudes have recently been discovered. However, an undiscovered population of much more highly extinguished (AV > 10) core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) is likely to exist in the nuclear (central kpc) regions of starburst galaxies. The high dust extinction means that optical searches for such SNe are unlikely to be successfu...

This paper examines the phenomenon of organizing global terrorism. Based on the emerging perspective to understand communication as constitutive of organization (CCO), we reconceptualize terrorist organizations as essentially consisting of communicative events. At this, CCO allows for studying the emergence, stabilization, and destabilization of terrorist organizing.

This paper focuses on the orbit avoidance strategy of the optical remote sensing satellite. The optical remote sensing satellite, moving along the Sun-synchronous orbit, is equipped with laser warning equipment to alert CCD camera from laser attacks. This paper explores the strategy of satellite avoidance to protect the CCD camera and also the satellite. The satellite could evasive to several t...

Progress in high-speed GaAs charge-coupled device (CCD) research is described. Experimental and modelling results are reported for two different structures; capacitive gate CCD's and resistive gate CCD's. A charge packet replicator/subtractor circuit is discussed.

Background A recent review of outcome reporting in out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) clinical trials detailed a lack of transparency and heterogeneity, highlighting the need to establish a core outcome set (COS)(Whitehead et al., 2015). Moreover, the review highlighted the dominance of outcomes which focused on the pathophysiological manifestations of the event and clinicians’ perspectives,...

Summary We have developed a web application curatr for the rapid generation of high quality mass spectral fragmentation libraries from liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry datasets. Curatr handles datasets from single or multiplexed standards and extracts chromatographic profiles and potential fragmentation spectra for multiple adducts. An intuitive interface helps users to select high quali...

The F.A.S.T. model for microscopic simulation of pedestrians was formulated with the idea of parallelizability in mind, but so far it was never demonstrated, if it can in fact be implemented efficiently for execution on a multi-core or multi-CPU system. In this contribution results are given on computation times for the F.A.S.T. model on an eight-core PC. PTV AG Karlsruhe www.ptvag.com Tobias K...
