Continuity and discontinuity of behavioral inhibition and exuberance: Psychophysiological and behavioral influences across the first four years of life.
- Child Development,
, 2001
"... Abstract: Four-month-old infants were screened (N = 433) for temperamental patterns thought to predict behavioral inhibition, including motor reactivity and the expression of negative affect. Those selected (N = 153) were assessed at multiple age points across the first 4 years of life for behavior ..."

Four-month temperament was modestly predictive of behavioral inhibition over the first 2 years of life and of behavioral reticence at age 4. Those infants who remained continuously inhibited
Materials for an exploratory theory of the network society.
- The British Journal of Sociology
, 2000
"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

Social structures are organized around relationships of production/consumption, power, and experience, whose spatio-temporal
Models in science’,

"... Models are of central importance in many scientific contexts. The centrality of models such as the billiard ball model of a gas, the Bohr model of the atom, the MIT bag model of the nucleon, the Gaussian-chain model of a polymer, the Lorenz model of the atmosphere, the Lotka-Volterra model of preda ..."

At the present stage we do not know how to answer these questions. What we need is a systematic account of the different ways in which models can relate

FLID-DL: Congestion Control for Layered Multicast
, 2000
"... We describe Fair Layered Increase/Decrease with Dynamic Layering (FLID-DL), a new multi-rate congestion control algorithm for layered multicast sessions. FLID-DL generalizes the receiver-driven layered congestion (RLC) control protocol introduced by Vicisano, Rizzo, and Crowcroft, ameliorating the p ..."

We describe Fair Layered Increase/Decrease with Dynamic Layering (FLID-DL), a new multi-rate congestion control algorithm for layered multicast sessions. FLID-DL generalizes the receiver-driven layered congestion (RLC) control protocol introduced by Vicisano, Rizzo, and Crowcroft, ameliorating the problems associated with large IGMP leave latencies and abrupt rate increases. Like RLC, FLID-DL is a scalable, receiver-driven congestion control mechanism in which receivers add layers at sender-initiated synchronization points and leave layers when they experience congestion. FLID-DL congestion control coexists with TCP ows as well as other FLID-DL sessions and supports general rates on the dierent multicast layers. We demonstrate via simulations that our congestion control scheme exhibits better fairness properties and provides better throughput than previous methods.

"... Abstract. We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a particular emphasis on nonlinear and stochastic dynamics of such self-propelled entities in the framework of sta ..."

individual active dynamics but also different types of interaction between active par-ticles. The resulting collective dynamical behavior of large assemblies and aggregates of active units is discussed and an overview over some recent results on spatiotemporal pattern formation in such systems is given. 1

Fluorine gas is produced industrially by electrolysing hydrogen fluoride in a potassium acid fluoride electrolyte. Fluorine is produced at the carbon anode, while hydrogen is produced at the mild-steel cathode. The fluorine produced has a wide range of uses, most notably in the nuclear industry where it is used to separate 235U and 238U. The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) is a producer of fluorine and requested an investigation into the hydrodynamics of their electrolysis cells as part of a larger national initiative to beneficiate more of South Africa’s large fluorspar deposits. Due to the extremely corrosive and toxic environment inside a typical fluorine electrolysis reactor, the fluid dynamics in the reactor are not understood well enough. The harsh conditions make detailed experimental investigation of the reactors extremely dangerous. The objective of this project is to construct a model that can accurately predict the physical processes involved in the production of fluorine gas. The results of the simulation will be compared to experimental results from tests done on a lab-scale reactor. A good correlation
