Anatomy of an X terminal

Article Abstract:

X terminals are able to support any type of font or window size, unlike ASCII terminals, which support only one character font and only one or two windows per display. X terminals use a bit-mapped screen that lets the application display text, images, drawings and other types of data formats simultaneously to enhance the productivity of users. X terminals are diskless, which means users need not serve as a system administrator, although the human interface gives them the impression that they are working at a high-powered workstation. X terminals focus on network communications, graphics performance and graphical user interface enhancements, creating what can be called an application-specific workstation. Several aspects of X terminal design are discussed, including human factors, communications, their graphics background, performance and market potential.

Discontinuous losses from poverty, generalized P(sub alpha) measures, and optimal transfers to the poor

Article Abstract:

The allocation of poverty measures that are discontinuous at the poverty level are investigated. Only those poverty measures that are classified as discontinuous at the poverty level corroborate with the third kind of the optimal distribution of poverty measures. This classification calls for distribution of the budget to both the richest of the poor and the poorest of the poor. The properties of this class of allocation is examined, along with its extension, which is called 'the generalized P(sub alpha) measure.'

A wrinkle in time

Article Abstract:

An 86-year-old man who was diagnosed with Henoch-Schonlein purpura illustrates the difficulty in diagnosing this disease in adults. It is an inflammation of blood vessels that usually affects children. It causes a skin rash, blood in the urine and kidney abnormalities, joint disease, and gastrointestinal symptoms.
