Supporting Preemptive Multitasking in Wireless Sensor Networks by Emanuele Lattanzi, Valerio Freschi, Alessandro Bogliolo

“…Existing approaches to wireless sensor network programming provide limited support to concurrency at the cost of reducing the generality and the expressiveness of the language adopted. This paper presents a java-compatible platform for wireless sensor networks which provides a thorough support to preemptive multitasking while allowing the programmers to write their applications in java. …”

How Tourism Imaginary has been Updated in the New Spanish Sun-and-Beach Comedy: Fin de curso, Atasco en la nacional and Benidorm, mon amour by Salvador Martínez Puche, Antonio Martínez Puche

“…This ‘development-era’ comedic film production was prolific, successful and in line with Spain’s propaganda, political and socioeconomic interests in the 1960s and 1970s. Its narrative and expressive codes can still be found in films that fall into the españolada supra-genre and use some of those clichés—now recycled and updated—in their form and content. …”

Not just skin – Object module and measure module in the composition of the architectural envelope by Paola Scala

“…The objective of this essay is to bring the attention of designers back to the importance of reflecting on the architectural quality of the envelope and its expressive capacity of facades, especially in consideration of the current historical moment in which environmental, cultural, and economic reasons increasingly urgently demand the transition from traditional construction techniques to dry assembly systems.   …”

Penser la ressource minière en Nouvelle-Calédonie. Souveraineté, développement et valeur des lieux by Claire Levacher

“…Mainly based upon a doctoral research, this paper questions more largely the exercise of sovereignty in New Caledonia through the expressions of several values the mobilization has raised, especially regarding the place of the mining project, and how they can explain the signature of an impact and benefits agreement between indigenous communities and the mining operator.…”

Evaluation of Self-Friction Three-Center Nuclear Attraction Integrals with Integer and Noninteger Principal Quantum Numbers n over Slater Type Orbitals by Ebru Çopuroğlu

“…A complete orthonormal set of Guseinov ψα exponential type orbitals (ψα-ETOs, α=2,1,0,-1,-2,…) has been used to obtain the analytical expressions. The overlap integrals with noninteger quantum numbers occurring in SF three-center nuclear attraction integrals have been evaluated using Qnsq auxiliary functions. …”

"Unity that sanctifies diversity". Cottesloe revisited by E. van der Borght

“…It reveals that exactly at the place where the text tries to theologically justify the diversity of people within the unity of the church of humanity, the drafters could not rely on help from the theological commission of the World Council of Churches, and relied on an expressions coming from the defense of the then apartheid churches in South Africa, that is “unity sanctifies diversity”. …”

La référence pronominale en français et en mandarin : une étude contrastive basée sur un corpus de traductions bidirectionnelles by Juan Sun, Qiang Zhang

“…By conducting monolingual and inter-linguistic analyses based on a parallel corpus consisting of authentic texts translated from French into Mandarin or in the opposite direction, we demonstrated that apropos of the choice of referential expressions there is a wide divergence between these two languages. …”
