I'm a bit sad to say that eventhough quality is much more important than quantity, it is obvious that too few excellent papers are not so well received. This was less the case several decades ago but the huge increase in opportunities also leads people to believe that few publications means not enough work/research/dedication (pick the one you prefer!). This is unfortunate because PhD students tend to over publish in some labs and domains, with high redundancy with their own previously published work and peers previous work (incl. due to the impossibility to read and assimilate the amount of published work from so many sources).

Try to find your desired sample at Roger's Corporation. If you find one, you can order two sample for free. I have used their HF laminates to construct a patch antenna, it was good. http://www.rogerscorp.com/index.aspx

If we start looking at "restrictions to the connected components of its domain", then every functions are continuous. So what is the point in doing that!

Try "outres, all, last". If you have many loadsteps, then enter "outres, all, none" before solving all loadsteps except the last. Previous to the last loadstep, enter "outres, all, last".

Rafael Manory: Many thanks for your comments.

Well, I agree with you. That case can be amusing. But they (Hindawi) not really persistent.

The only reason that Mars would be THE future of Earth is if Earth became inhospitable to life. This could happen through our own actions or from external actions like being in the bullseye of a comet. In the very long term the Sun will expand making Earth too hot for life (and Mars warmer and more hospitable). Comets are a real worry because we might have little or insufficient warning to do something about it. In the very long term, if we don't get off this planet it will be the end of the human species. I think it would be important to find out the following: 1) Did Mars ever have life and is there still some beneath the surface somewhere? 2) Why did Mars die as a viable planet for supporting life? 3) Can we build a self supporting colony on Mars? 4) Can we build a faster and safer space transit system? 5) Can Mars be terraformed into a vibrant life supporting planet again? I believe the answer to the last three questions is YES but to be sure we have to go there and do a lot more research than our little rovers can do. If one of those rovers landed in the Gobi desert on Earth it would probably find very little. There seem to be an assumption that the same resources are involved in getting to Mars as those for producing and transporting food around the world. Not so unless you are saying that only food production, preservation and transportation technology should be taught in schools. The world today would be in far worse shape if that were the case since there would not be a vibrant economy of things and ideas. In the past wars and military technology were major technology drivers. It promoted and pioneered food preservation and transportation. It's also responsible for many medical and technological breakthroughs as well. Isn't it better to have space exploration push these limits instead since they help all mankind in the end. On technology breakthrough that is currently pushing the entire Earth toward better lives for everyone is the smart phone and cheap computers. If you want to help the so called third world get a boatload of Raspberry Pi computers (US$35 each) and pass them out to children who want to learn. The results can be amazing. The RPi has more computing power and freely available open software than a super computer I worked on 25 years ago. This simple device can bring the resources of the planet to an 8 year old child in Bangladesh. Don't say it can't be done, it is being done. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/11/01/kids_learn_hacking_android/

Computing devices can be made using asynchronous circuits. What that means is a signal is generated by the computing or decision making logic that indicates the operation is complete and the result is valid. A computer can then be made up from such asynchronous subassemblies. One problem with this is most logic verification tools are designed for clocked circuits. Another problem is there isn't a tremendous amount to be gained since most computers are designed with subunits arranged in a registered pipeline fashion where each segment of the pipe is designed to use the same amount of time as the other segments so a master clock can control the flow of information. If such a pipeline were asynchronous it would still be held up by the slower segments. This situation is likely to change since most microprocessors seem to have hit the ~3GHz speed limit and perhaps a bit more can be gained using asynchronous logic. Formal verification has tackled one of the banes of Asynchronous logic, deadlocks, when under some conditions the completion signal cannot be generated. (http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.7859).

If you want portability ,its better use texmaker which is available in miktex portable.

I am agree with Gonzalo...... But at the practices (my thought)..... I have developed some steps: 1st step is that they understand what and why .... What is the problem and which are the causes of the problem..... 2nd step is to achieve they agree with the argumentation with all group or in a small teams...... you can use to make easy with different approaches the subject they are looking for..... Using different tools to organize they ideas... Pareto, Ishikawa, multicriterial matrix, correlation diagram..... Explaining some methods to solve problems, that are used commonly 3rd step is to demonstrate the applicability of the tools you are trying to introduce with a real problem they can introduce 4th step is to deconstruct the problem, and to correlate causes and efects using the tools explained before.. 5th step is to leave them in small groups to argument the problem and causes, and choicing the best tool to solve problem..... And demontrating by using them......

My Apologies for not mentioning the source...and Farid Kadir thanks for do it for me......

@Imran Shafi, To my view egg came earlier thann hen. The logic is simple, egg has only one cell and hen have many cells. 2 cannot come before 1 because to make 2 we need two 1's. Regarding convolution and transformation, I would rather say that transformation is any operation or a set of operations you on something to change the original form to someother form. The operation may also be a convolution operation or some simple addition or subtraction operation. For example, you have an image matrix (say gray image) and you subtract every pixel of the image from 255. Then you will get another image, called negative image which is a simple example of transfromation. Transformation may also be done using convolution operation, for example, you have an image matrix, and you perform convolution operation of it with a Fourier kernel of appropriate size, then you will get Fourier transform. The comvolution operation may also be combined with some other operations in a some other kind of transforms, for example, wavelet transform in which you perform convolution of the signal with wavelet transform kernel (popularly called wavelet filter coefficients) then you perform downsampling operations. About convolution, it is nothing but a polynomial multiplication. Why we see convolution operation as simple multiplication in Z tranforms is becuase in Z tranforms, the signals are in polynomial form in Z. In Fourier domain, the signals are represneted in the form of polynomial in exponential. So, in the Fourier domain also, we convolution means multiplication. More about convolution and multiplication can be obtained from the following link www.oocities.org/kiranisingh/multi.html . Hope it may help you. Y. K. Singh

Try to contact Mr Wojciech Popko (wojciech.popko@iwes.fraunhofer.de ). I think he has knowledge to help you. Good luck!

Thank you sir...

There is a company that has extensive literature, available in PDF, (unfortunately with DRM but necessary,) and plain text formats, well cataloged and with a very good HTML front end. I carry their ebooks on my old tablet pc (MS Windows XP) when not online it is extremely useful when on the field. The services they provide exclude those for personal memberships but if your institution would adopt it is truly good value for the money. See http://www.knovel.com Best

@vu Word is simple in the same way a typewriter is simple: it is very easy to get something done. However, it is very, very hard to get something done to a high standard, e.g., typographical quality. To tell whether a printed document was prepared with word, first of all I check for irregular spacing between lines or paragraphs and irregular character sizes across the text. The only high-quality Word docs I regularly see are those prepared by people whose primary job is typing or preparing documents: secretaries, typographists, engineers hired for writing manuals or technical documentation, sometimes (not always) docs and forms from ministries and public bodies... When I am short of time and need to write a one-page text, I never use a word processor, because in that case I would have to take care of all the details myself. With Latex and maybe a ready-made, 5-lines template (or a GUI wizard) you can simply type and get a perfect result.

Stimulated process in the Laser is the best way to develop the concept.

Dear all, Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs.

Reading any two dimensional drawings of three dimensional objects requires a Key to the line widths, and symbols. What is more important is actually seeing the three dimensional objects. Pictures will help.
