Current interactive user interface construction tools are often more of a hindrance than a benefit during the early stages of user interface design. These tools take too much time to use and force designers to specify more of the design details than they wish at this early stage. Most interface

A significant portion of the continental crust of northern Eurasia is thought to have formed during the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) at the time of accretion of continental terranes and island arcs. Records of this event are well preserved within the Siberian craton – CAOB transition zone in Lake Baikal region, particularly in the Olkhon terrane. Our results establish granulite-facies conditions for peak metamorphism in the Olkhon terrane, and indicate that the granulites were derived from island arc mafic volcanic rocks and back-arc basin sediments. SHRIMP dating of metamorphic zircons from two mafic granulites yielded 238U/206Pb ages of 507±8 and 498±7 Ma, and magmatic zircons from syntectonic syenite yielded an age of 495±6 Ma (Gladkochub et

Map interpretation remains a critical step in solving the structure of a macromolecule. Errors introduced at this early stage may persist throughout crystallo-graphic refinement and result in an incorrect struc-ture. The normally quoted crystallographic residual is often a poor description

early-stage venture capital. • The funding system for aspiring young leading innovators (‘yollies’) needs to be understood as an interconnected system comprising different types of funding at different stages of company lifecycles. Venture capital funds are critical at the early commercialisation stage

reast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality among North American women [1]. In recent years, the incidence of early-stage breast cancer has been increasing, largely as a result of improvements in public education, screening programs

computation, and the use of a constructive greedy heuristic. Positive feedback accounts for rapid discovery of good solutions, distributed computation avoids premature convergence, and the greedy heuristic helps find acceptable solutions in the early stages of the search process. We apply the proposed

An experiment on the early stages of intermetallic compound layer growth during soldering and its theoretical analysis were conducted with the intent to study the controlling factors of the process. An experimental technique based on fast dipping and pulling of a copper coupon in liquid solder
