An ADAF in the Kerr metric: propagation of a wave pattern
Time evolution of an advection-dominated accretion flow is explored in terms
of relativistic fluid equations. An axially symmetric, vertically averaged mean
flow is constructed and then perturbed. An axisymmetric pattern is followed as
it propagates in the form of a wave towards the horizon of a rotating (Kerr)
black hole. Several assumptions are relaxed in comparison with previous works
(Manmoto et al. 1996).Comment: Accepted for publication in PASJ, scheduled for October 200
A plea for extension of the anatomical nomenclature. Part 1: Nervous system and senses
A correct, exact, concise and detailed anatomical nomenclature is a cornerstone of communication not only in anatomy and related subjects but also in other medical branches and in the whole medical education. Terminologia Anatomica fulfils this task but some important structures are still missing there. The authors have collected and present here a list of terms including their definitions or explanations to provoke discussion about possible extension of the Terminologia Anatomica. The first part of this contribution, presented in this article, comprises 113 terms concerning the regulation systems of the human body: endocrine glands, central and peripheral nervous system, and senses. It also contains some corrections of anatomical mistakes, systemic inconsistencies and grammar changes

Security and Performance Trade-offs for Data Distribution Service in Flying Ad-Hoc Networks
This paper focuses on the data distribution service(DDS) middleware and its publish/subscribe logic - a topic thathas recently regained popularity in both academia as well asindustry. DDS is a well-known approach based on publish-subscribe logic. Therefore, only brief introduction of the issueis given followed by practical evaluation of current, availableand real implementations from the security and performancepoint of view. The analysis and evaluation is performed toaid comparison of competing DDS implementation, and thuscould serve well as an input to decision-making about whichof these solutions is best suited for a given situation. Finally,the practical performance evaluation is performed via severaldifferent scenarios to effectively compare the currently most-usedDDS implementations

Channelling figurativity through narrative : the paranarrative in fiction and non-fiction
Contrary to wide-spread assumptions, metaphor in narrative is not a pre-established, extra-textual form appearing in different instances of discourse, but rather an event resulting from a strategic distribution of information in the narrative process. Hence, the appeal to conceptual cultural knowledge is to be considered as a consequence, and not as a prerequisite of metaphor interpretation. By means of the concept of the paranarrative, we highlight the rhetorical interconnectedness of metaphor with other figures of speech (such as metonymy) and we explore the narrative integration of diacritic forms of indirectness. In order to illustrate the terminology that can address these focal concerns, the paper discusses the relation between tropes and narrative, via selected examples from narrative texts (both fictional and non-fictional) written by Juli Zeh, Herta Müller, Jürgen Nieraad, and Siddhartha Mukherjee. As their common denominator, these examples channel through narrative figurative domains considered to be known intuitively to wit: personifications; iconic pars pro toto references to concentration camps; and metaphors for cancer in disease biographies
