granted that literacy is a social practice involving different values, attitudes, feelings, and social relationships, this study attempts to examine literacy practices and the potential changes made through a history of forty years. the study was conducted in the village of cheshmeh, near mashhad, iran, where the social definition of literacy emerged. the data have been collected through partic...

Kinase Suppressor of Ras (KSR) is a molecular scaffold that interacts with the core kinase components of the ERK cascade, Raf, MEK, ERK to provide spatial and temporal regulation of Ras-dependent ERK cascade signaling. Interruption of this mechanism can have a high influence in inhibiting the downstream signaling of the mutated tyrosine kinase receptor kinase upon ligand binding. Still none of ...

Stretcher mode of KSR has been experimentally tested. Up to now, beam spill longer than 8 second has been attained by reducing RF knockout power. Improvement of extraction efficiency will be realized by ramping of betatron tune and formation of closed-orbit-distortion without the effect of non-linear sextupole magnets to make aperture minimum at the first septum for extraction.

We present parallel solutions for direct and fast n-body solvers written in the ZPL language. We describe the direct solver, compare its performance against a sequential C program, and show performance results for two very di erent parallel machines: the KSR-2 and the Paragon. We also discuss the implementation of the fast solver in ZPL, including factors pertinent to data movement.

Parallel globally adaptive algorithms for numerical integration provide a simple example of algorithms that exploit control parallelism. In this paper we consider the implementation of such algorithms on both virtual shared memory (KSR-1) and distributed memory (iPSC/860) machines and investigate how the characteristics of the diierent architectures aaect the choice of implementation and thereb...

In KSR, SCOTUS retooled the standard for obviousness to bring it back in line with the court's previous decisions in Hotchkiss and Graham. A comparative review of the law of obviousness in the United States and Canada, and its relation to innovation and competition, was undertaken in Sections II and III. The focal point of observed differences is the inherent creativity and inventiveness of the...
