The networking approach to the World Wide Web is defined not only by the exploration of architecture, but also by the confirmed need for interrupts. Given the current status of authenticated archetypes, steganographers dubiously desire the analysis of scatter/gather I/O. the focus in this position paper is not on whether Moore's Law can be made concurrent, distributed, and pervasive, but rather on proposing an analysis of 32 bit architectures (Grange). It is concluded that, using probabilistic and interactive information and based on relational modality, the machine system and kernels are verified, which is widely used in the future.

History Of

Clipperton Atoll is one of the most isolated tropical island in the world and the only atoll of the eastern Pacific. Its outer slopes also make the largest coral reef of this region. Clipperton is a remarkable site for the geochemistry of its closed eutrophic stratified lagoon, the influence of both tropical eastern Pacific and Oceania gene pool on coral reef communities, the low diversity of the marine and land fauna, and for the equilibrium of its land ecosystem. The three components of the Clipperton Atoll seascape (coral reef-lagoon-land) all appear to have remarkable properties and history. All components experienced important changes in the last century due to anthropogenic (importation of exogenous species) or natural perturbations (closing of passes, coral bleaching). Here, we review the history of these three systems (land-lagoon-coral reef) and provide new insights of the current status of the atoll based on recent surveys and high resolution IKONOS satellite imagery. Most dramatic changes occurring in the last decades include explosion in crab Gecarcinus planatus population, almost-complete desertification of the island and increase in Masked Boobies Sula dactylatra population, making Clipperton Atoll one of the most important sites for this specie in the world. This review intends to provide a sound basis to discuss the future of Clipperton balanced between conservation and development priorities, and to raise awareness on the future of a delicate ecosystem.

First Time

The first person to use the term “museology” in the Czech environment seems to have been Mr. Kliment Cermák, teacher and museologist, who for the first time formulated a need for special education to be provided for museum workers in his article Education in Museology from 1901 published under his editorship in the Bulletin of Czech & Slavonic Archaeological and Museum Association. His publication activities were continued by V. V. Jenícek in the magazine “Czech & Slavonic Museum Annals” between 1902 and 1910 and by Albín Stocký in the magazine “Museum Horizon” published between 1925 and 1928. In Slovakia, there were A. Kmet’ and F. Sasinek, and later P. Kri ko, M. Rybecký, A. Gregorová and M. Lalkovic, standing at the beginning and formation of museology. This generation, and for the most part also the following generation, were on a level comparable with the European elite but they published mainly in the Czech language, therefore they remained more or less hidden from the rest of the world. Museology undoubtedly has a long tradition in Central Europe and this paper aims to reflect the present status and key issues in the environment of the former Czechoslovakia.

In recent years, the rapid growth and unprecedented dominance of the English language has transformed the world's linguistic ecology and promoted anxiety and debates about its future. The language has developed into a leading international lingua franca used by millions of speakers in different linguistic and cultural contexts worldwide. This paper examines an applied linguistic conceptual interest concerning the future of English and its varieties in light of its current status, the challenges it experiences, and the conspicuous threats to half of the world’s languages. The paper draws on the significance of broadening the study of the English language history by examining the linguistic consequences associated with its changes and the users’ experience, expectations and attitudes. The study also calls for a better understanding of the features of lesser-known English varieties and the less researched domains of its use.

This chapter outlines the development and evolution of the Cospas-Sarsat system, describes the principle of operation, presents the current status and looks at the future of the system. Cospas-Sarsat, an international satellite system for search and rescue, started operating in 1982 and has been credited with saving many thousands of lives since then. More than a million aviators, mariners and land users worldwide are equipped with Cospas-Sarsat distress beacons that could help save their lives in emergency situations anywhere in the world. A constellation of satellites is circling the globe monitoring for distress signals, while tracking stations on six continents receive the satellite signals, compute the location of the emergency and quickly forward the distress alert information to the appropriate rescue authorities. This is a big improvement over the pre-satellite era, when distress signals from remote regions or far out at sea might not have been heard for many days or even weeks.

In the current context of warfighting electronic warfare is crucial for both sides of the conflict. Donetsk and Luhansk regions have become a kind of springboard for testing and application of multifunctional electronic warfare (EW) systems and platforms. The urgency of creating multifunctional EW systems lies in the need to solve the problem of protection of troops, control points, armament and military equipment from UAV air reconnaissance, protection from weapons, as well as disorganization of enemy‟s command and control by jamming its radioelectronic means. The development and passing into service of modern highly effective multifunctional EW systems requires continuous monitoring of the current state of their development in the Armed Forces of advanced countries. Developers from around the world present multifunctional EW systems annualy. The newest means of EW of the Russian Federation are considered and their comparative analysis is carried out. Conclusions are made on the possibility of interdiction of their work in areas of operations. The directions of operational efficiency improvement of the Ukrainian EW systems are offered. The analysis of trends in the development of EW and the latest command and control systems of the world's leading countries indicates the need to review traditional approaches to EW in the armed struggle of nowdays and the future. Therefore, the problem of bringing the state and level of development of EW to the requirements of the future wars is acute for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, taking into account the asymmetric and advanced nature of EW technology development in the world. The urgency of the research lies in acquaintance with modern achievements and directions for the development of EW systems used by the enemy.

Background: COVID-19 is a pandemic, which covered to all over the world and started the end of 2019. COVID-19 spreading rapidly from person to person and from one environment to another environment. In the current situation the entire world is passing through a very critical situation and medical services almost collapse due to the span of COVID-19. The virus is directly threatening to human being's life and attack to their nervous system, collapse lungs, breathing problems and damage other parts of the body system. The researcher build a predictive model using a Gaussian approach to find out the current status of COVID-19 and its future prediction. This predictive model is very helpful for countries and before timely they can manage their health related services, make a change in their decision making policy to stop COVID-19 spreading. Method: in this research paper the researcher builds a predicting model using real time analytics to measure the intensity of spreading COVID-19 in major concern countries. The main objective of this research article to predict the rate of spreading COVID-19 cases, visualize, and represent the future trends of COVID-19 cases. For the predictive analysis the researcher used the Gaussian Prediction model, time series analysis, exploratory data analysis, and K-means clustering. The researcher used the parameters such as rate of spreading, slow down speed, a sudden change in rate, prediction of the number of cases and differences in mortality rate. The results: The researcher discussed the weekly, monthly rate of spreading COVID-19 cases and predicted how it covered the world entire populations. The predictive model is very helpful to the countries where a number of cases are rapidly spreading and showing the future trends whether it is decreasing or increasing ratio. The countries can manage their health related services and other possible resources to stop the COVID-19 cases in their countries. If the prediction is unknown that situation is horrible for the entire world. Conclusion: Finally the researcher concluded that the predictive model of COVID-19 cases has significant impact to all over countries to show the future spreading trends, the accuracy level of this predictive model is 92% which is verified by using Gaussian approach. In some cases prediction might be unfavorable to handle the health care industries that are only %8 chances. The researcher giving the assurance the developed predictive model is more reliable and efficient to predict the COVID-19 case and its future trends, so the countries and their health related unit can manage the health related services in rapid manner.
