Das Future SOC Lab am HPI ist eine Kooperation des Hasso-Plattner-Instituts mit verschiedenen Industriepartnern. Seine Aufgabe ist die Ermöglichung und Förderung des Austausches zwischen Forschungsgemeinschaft und Industrie. Am Lab wird interessierten Wissenschaftlern eine Infrastruktur von neuester Hard- und Software kostenfrei für Forschungszwecke zur Verfügung gestellt. Dazu zählen teilweise noch nicht am Markt verfügbare Technologien, die im normalen Hochschulbereich in der Regel nicht zu finanzieren wären, bspw. Server mit bis zu 64 Cores und 2 TB Hauptspeicher. Diese Angebote richten sich insbesondere an Wissenschaftler in den Gebieten Informatik und Wirtschaftsinformatik. Einig...
Recording the proceedings of the IAU XXVI General Assembly, this volume of the IAU Highlights of Astronomy covers virtually all aspects of modern astrophysics as discussed by 2400 participants from 73 countries. Notably, the common aspects of astrophysical phenomena known to exist in widely differing interstellar environments is thoroughly examined, providing fertile cross correlation from one specialisation to another. This text highlights the importance of the triennial IAU General Assemblies in bringing together the work of observers and theoreticians in widely different fields, but working towards a common goal: understanding the physics of the Universe. Together with the Proceedings of the IAU Symposia 235-240, this volume examines all of the astrophysics presented at the General Assembly.
Nel marasma della Città eterna, tra "la grande bellezza" e "la grande sconcezza", c'è Igor, il clochard che rappresenta le contraddizioni della Roma contemporanea e che racchiude tutte le sue caratteristiche. Un invisibile, che suscita la curiosità del narratore, coinvolto – suo malgrado – in una vicenda dalle tinte fosche e più grande di lui. In tutto questo, il narratore è un co-protagonista in ombra, che, come uno scultore, pazientemente e con curiosità, libera la “materia”, cioè la coscienza di Igor, dalla diffidenza e dal cinismo, per riesumare una vicenda che non solo è il perno del suo destino, bensì, metaforicamente, lo snodo cruciale di molte esistenze e, di riflesso, di una delle tante paradossali vicissitudini della Città eterna.
Due enormi ali nere si spiegano sulla città di Milano, sovrastandola e opprimendola in una coltre oscura di violenza. Una forza misteriosa e primordiale invoca una punizione per gli uomini e la loro ottusa civiltà che si nutre di luoghi comuni e apparenza. Il protagonista, suo malgrado, si ritrova a essere il tramite di tanto odio. Lo sente scorrere in sé con audacia e brutalità, ogni volta che l’Altro – così chiama la “cosa feroce” che lo possiede – ha da soddisfare la sua sete di vendetta. E, ogni volta che si risveglia, qualcuno muore.
This tutorial presents optomechanical modeling techniques to effectively design and analyze high-performance optical systems. It discusses thermal and structural modeling methods that use finite-element analysis to predict the integrity and performance of optical elements and optical support structures. Includes accompanying CD-ROM with examples.
-- Of the more than 15,000 wines tasted, only 600 make it to the final round; 241 receive the prized recognition, tre bicchieri -- In addition to tre bicchieri, a new classification is conferred on those producers who have consistency of quality at the highest level Since its first edition in 1988, Italian Wines has played a major role in Italy's wine market; both professionals and wine enthusiasts have learned to trust its evaluations. The 2001 edition was a best-selling wine title; it was a complete sell out. Italian Wines 2002 surveys the panorama of quality wine production in Italy. Expanded to 792 pages, this volume reviews and evaluates over 11,000 wines and 1,600 wineries. After months of blind tastings, prize-winning wines were selected and indicated with a symbol that has become synonymous with quality: three glasses, tre bicchieri.
Since their discovery approximately 25 years ago, adenosine receptors have now emerged as important novel molecular targets in disease and drug discovery. These proteins play important roles in the entire spectrum of disease from inflammation to immune suppression. Because of their expression on a number of different cell types and in a number of different organ systems they play important roles in specific diseases, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, sepsis, and obesity. As a result of intense investigations into understanding the molecular structures and pharmacology of these proteins, new molecules have been synthesized that have high specificity for these proteins and are now entering clinical trials. These molecules will define the next new classes of drugs for a number of diseases with unmet medical needs.
