Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome, Werner syndrome, and Cockayne syndrome are three genetic disorders, in which the children have premature aging features. To understand the phenomena of premature aging, the similarity of aging features in the syndromes to that in normal aging is investigated. Although these syndromes have different genetic backgrounds, the patients all have abnormal structu...

We simulated capacitance–voltage (C – V) curves of Si3N4 /GaAs, Si3N4 /Si and also Si3N4 /Semi* ~virtual semiconductor! metal–insulator–semiconductor ~MIS! capacitors and compared them with experimental C – V curves of a Si3N4 /Si/GaAs structure. The experimental C – V curves of the Si3N4 /Si/GaAs MIS capacitors are not in agreement with the simulated C – V curves of the Si3N4 /GaAs and Si3N4 /...

information information Servers Computers 1. What is MIS A Management Information System (MIS) is a systematic organization and presentation of information that is generally required by the management of an organization for taking better decisions for the organization. The MIS data may be derived from various units of the organization or from other sources. However it is very difficult to say t...

We revisit the formalism of modular interpreted systems (MIS) which encourages modular and open modeling of synchronous multi-agent systems. The original formulation of MIS did not live entirely up to its promise. In this paper, we propose how to improve modularity and openness of MIS by changing the structure of interference functions. These relatively small changes allow for surprisingly high...

Has the MIS discipline matured enough to be considered a paradigm? This paper will review the MIS discipline from its inception, arguing that the discipline was created by what Thomas Kuhn would call a revolution leading to a paradigm shift. Using Kuhnian philosophy, the paper will argue that the MIS discipline has now reached a point to be considered a paradigm, according to the standards set ...

A new technique for design of stochastic screens is proposed that produces screens that are robust against misregistration in multi-pass printing. Conventional stochastic screens are designed through an optimization process that minimizes low-frequency structure in halftone images under the assumption that the placement of pixels is accurate. In inkjet printing, however, a page is often printed...
