The Macintosh revolutionary interface sets it apart from all other personal computers. The Macintosh designers made the Macintosh easy to learn, understand, and use.
To ensure correct implementation of their User interface, Apple provided Macintosh programmers with "Inside Macintosh". Inside Macintosh is a complete detailed manual which contains recommendations and...
One of the most popular topologies is the hypercube, that has n = 2ᵏ processors, numbered 0 to 2ᵏ -1 and connected in such a way that there is a link between any two if and only if they differ in one bit. Its popularity is due to the fact...
In this paper we will describe two known strategies for static processors allocation in an n-cube multiprocessor, namely the buddy system strategy and the gray code strategy and then propose a new strategy that outperforms the first by (n-k+1) and the second by (n-k+1)/2 in cube recognition. Furthermore, our strategy...

The aim of this study was to investigate the vitamin B-6 status of Saudi adult males and compare the status between rural and urban subjects. Fifty-one adult male subjects were recruited from urban (n=31) and rural (n=20) populations of Riyadh. These subjects were reclassified to cigarette smokers (n=19), water pipe...
A transient code (TFETC) for calculating the temperature
distribution throughout the radial and axial positions of a
thermionic fuel element (TFE) has been successfully developed.
It accommodates the variations of temperatures, thermal power,
electrical power, voltage, and current density throughout the
TFE as a function of time as well as...
Among the myriad of natural products are pseudosugar-containing secondary metabolites, e.g., the C7-pseudosugar-containing oligosaccharide acarbose, the C6- pseudosugar-containing aminoglycoside antibiotics, and the five-membered ring pseudosugar-containing antibiotic pactamycin. The C7-pseudosugars are normally derived from sedoheptulose 7-phosphate catalyzed by a family of enzymes called sedoheptulose 7-phosphate cyclases (SH7PCs). This family of enzymes...
The 180,000 km² of Arabian lava fields (“harrats” in Arabic) form one of the largest distributed basaltic provinces in the world. Approximately 50% of these are located in Saudi Arabia. The most recent eruption in 1256 AD, as well as seismicity and ground deformation associated with shallow dike emplacement in...
