a severe concern in cloud computing environments when virtual machines images are heavily reused/cloned); (3) current net-worked services are merely static targets, i.e., they are easily predictable and do not change. While network authentication and access control mechanisms such as firewall

Ectotherms rely for their body heat on surrounding temperatures. A key question in biology is why most ectotherms mature at a larger size at lower temperatures, a phenomenon known as the temperature–size rule. Since temperature affects virtually all processes in a living organism, current theories

to diffractive DIS structure function F D(3) 2 has led the H1 Collaboration to a dramatic conclusion [1] of very strong and hard glue in the pomeron. We recall that there are several reasons why conclusions derived from the analysis [1] are questionable. First, it is well established that the Regge factorization

ABSTRACT. We consider a classical system of point particles interacting by means of a short range potential. We prove that, in the low–density (Boltzmann–Grad) limit, the system behaves, for short times, as predicted by the associated Boltzmann equation. This is a revisitation and an extension of the thesis of King [9] (appeared after the well known result of Lanford [10] for hard spheres) and of a recent paper by Gallagher et al [5]. Our analysis applies to any stable and smooth potential. In the case of repulsive potentials

A brief history is presented, outlining the development of rate theory during the past century. Starting from Arrhenius ͓Z. Phys. Chem. 4, 226 ͑1889͔͒, we follow especially the formulation of transition state theory by Wigner ͓Z. Phys. Chem. Abt. B 19, 203 ͑1932͔͒ and Eyring ͓J. Chem. Phys. 3, 107

Bug found in FPU. Intel offers to replace faulty chips. Estimated loss: 475M US$ Esploded 37secs after launch. Cause: uncaught overflow ex-ception. Software “glitch ” found in anti-lock braking system. 185,000 cars recalled. Why verify? “Testing can only show the presence of errors

between inclusive and diffractive DIS SF’s of DIS are related by optical theorem to the forward virtual Compton scattering (CS), which in the color dipole (CD) factorization 6 takes the form ACS = Ψ ∗ f ⊗ Aq¯q ⊗ Ψin where Ψf,in is the wave function (WF) of the q¯q Fock state of the photon and the q

As wireless sensor networks continue to grow in size, we are faced with the prospect of emerging wireless networks with hundreds or thousands of nodes. Geographic routing algorithms are a promising alternative to tradition ad hoc routing algorithms in this new domain for point-to-point routing, but deployments of such algorithms are currently uncommon because of some practical difficulties.

Deciphering the three-dimensional (3D) structure of complex molecules is of major importance, typically accomplished with X-ray crystallography. Unfortunately, many important molecules cannot be crystallized, hence their 3D structure is unknown. Ankylography presents an alternative, relying
