Galactic Stellar Haloes in the CDM Model
… much tighter constraints on comparisons between CDM models and the Milky Way. Finally, we explore the kinematic structure of accreted stellar haloes in the CDM model. We demonstrate that multicomponent haloes like those of the Milky Way and M31 arise naturally through the accretion of stars from …

Die Entstehungsgeschichte der dichten Kerne von CDM-Halos
Über die zentrale Struktur Dunkler Halos gibt es einander widersprechende Aussagen aus numerischen Simulationen und der Beobachtung von galaktischen Rotationskurven. Während in theoretischen Arbeiten stets singuläre Dichteprofile in Zentrumsnähe gefunden wurden, sprechen Beobachtungen für …

Electrical Impedance Tomography/Spectroscopy (EITS): a Code Division Multiplexed (CDM) approach
… confirmed the use of Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) using Gold codes in Electrical Impedance Tomography and Spectroscopy. The results obtained showed 3.5% and 6.2% errors in determining the position and size of imaged anomalies respectively, with attainable imaging speed of 462 frames/second. …

The implementation of black economic empowerment (BEE) in the central district municipality (CDM)
… study the implementation of BEE/BBBEE within the CDM. Purposive sampling was preferred, and two most important qualitative research methods, namely, qualitative in-depth interviewing and qualitative document analysis, were used to collect the relevant data. Grounded theory and qualitative content …

Effective fulfilment, implementation, and supervision of the validation and registration requirements for Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects: a missing link in the achievement of the sustainable development objective of the CDM
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was established by Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol to promote sustainable development in developing countries and, at the same time, assist developed countries to achieve their emission reduction commitments in a cost-effective way. The CDM appears to have …

Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) modelling of dislocation creep in 9-12% Cr creep resistant steels
… model using the Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) approach. A dislocation CDM model was developed and implemented in the current work for uniaxial creep loading using the numerical modelling software Matlabᵀᴹ. The CDM approach was built upon fundamental dislocation theory as well as other …

Distributive justice in international law: : can the CDM regime support an equitable geographic distribution of projects?
… distribution of Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects can be achieved. In particular, it examines whether the CDM legal regime can achieve an equitable geographic distribution of projects, or whether the issues that contribute to the inequitable distribution are fundamental to the design …

Development of a Framework for Assessing Sustainability Benefits of Landfill Gas Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Projects
… objectives of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) are to assist developing country host nations in achieving sustainable development, and to assist developed countries in meeting their greenhouse gases (GHG) emission reduction targets. This is achieved through implementing GHG abatement …

Applying Krumbolt's Theory of Career Decision Making (CDM) to the Longevity of Principals in the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists
<p>Problem</p> <p>Ledesma (2011) reports that principals’ average tenure in Adventist schools in North America “ranges from 2.5-4.0 years. Elementary principals remain in leadership for 2.5 years, day academy principals stay for 3.6 years, and boarding academy principals leave after 4.0 years” (p, …

Development of Cartilage-Derived Matrix Scaffolds via Crosslinking, Decellularization, and Ice-Templating
… of cartilage. These cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) scaffolds have been show to recapitulate the native epitopes for cell-matrix interactions as well as provide entrapped growth factors; and have been shown to stimulate chondrogenic differentiation of a variety of cell types. Despite the potent …

Charged device model electrostatic discharge protection and test methods for integrated circuits
… this work focuses on charged device model (CDM) protection and test methods. In this work it is shown that the CDM robustness of an I/O can be increased by proper biasing of the gates during an ESD event. These gate bias networks are particularly useful because they do not add capacitance to …

The road to the successful clean development mechanism : lessons from the past
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) has evolved at a surprising speed since 2003 and is considered to have made positive contributions to the development of greenhouse-gas-reducing projects in developing countries. Taking into account its historical significance as the first effort of its kind …

International successes in clean development mechanism implementation : lessons for South Africa
… Factors discouraging implementation of CDM projects in South Africa are universal and not just unique to South Africa. China, India and Brazil were evaluated for the purpose of this research and were found to be implementing very similar interventions to address these factors. Further to …

Strategic issues facing the development of clean development mechanism projects in South Africa
… Under the protocol, a mechanism called the CDM was created in order to help developing nations, such as South Africa, lower their carbon emissions. This paper looks at the development of the carbon credits market in South Africa which was created by CDM. Since the ratification of the …

The Influence of Dark and Ordinary Matter Physics on Galaxy Formation
… assumed paradigm of a collisionless, cold DM (CDM) and dark energy cosmology called $\Lambda$CDM has proven to be very successful on large scales. Yet, observed galaxies are generally less dense than simple CDM-only predictions, and while CDM is often assumed to be a single, collisionless …
