The present study arises as a response to the historical controversy about the theoretical model of the hammer throw and performance. It starts from the fluctuations produced in the tangential velocity in the centre of gravity (CG) of the hammer…

Fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching is an interesting for the production of phase holograms. The shrinkage of the emulsion is reduced in comparison with other bleaching methods (reversal bleaching or rehalogenating bleaching with fixation). In this paper we present experimental results for…

The electrochemical oxidation of para-, meta- and ortho-aminophenols was carried out using a platinum electrode in aqueous acid medium. The spectroscopic results indicate that p-aminophenol suffers hydrolysis giving the formation of hydroquinone/p-benzoquinone.
CO2 has been detected by in situ FTIR…

Equations are derived for determining third-order wavefront aberrations in the plane of the exit pupil from the known aberration in the plane of a holographic lens. Using the transformation equations of wavefront aberration when the plane of the exit pupil…

We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

Melanie Peter, Senior Lecturer in Education and Early Childhood at Anglia Ruskin University, argues that the ability to engage in narrative stems from early interactive play formats and is essential for perceiving patterns and sequences in life – the fabric…

To investigate the effect of altering the spherical aberration (SA) of the eye on the static accommodative response.

METHODS:
Participants were fitted with nominally afocal contact lenses with controlled amounts…

A new fully microwave-assisted liquid sample introduction system (MASIS) is presented and evaluated in Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). The device employs a single TM010 microwave cavity for the simultaneous aerosol generation and desolvation. The different experimental requirements…

One of the main challenges of modern processor
designs is the implementation of scalable and
efficient mechanisms to detect memory access
order violations as a result of out-of-order
execution. Conventional structures performing this
task are complex, inefficient and power-hungry.
This…

MINIX4RT is an extension of the well-known MINIX
Operating System that adds Hard Real-Time services in a new
microkernel but keeping backward compatibility with standard
MINIX versions.
Semaphores are the primitive synchronization and mutual
exclusion mechanism in many operating systems,…
