An important step in the design of digital networks lies in the derivation of the switching formulas which describe the combinational logic networks in the system. In most large systems the number of gates and the number of connections are major factors that affect the cost of the system. An...

Accurate chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are critical to maintaining genomic integrity. Both events involve the spindle apparatus, but the exact mechanics is as puzzling as the contradicting models proposed in the last two centuries. In this dissertation, current prevailing models of chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are tested using...

Asia has made and is making great contribution to the world aquaculture industry and fisheries civilization. The article analyzes development of the aquaculture in Asia with the production potentiality and comparative advantage index. It gets the conclusion that the aquaculture in Asia industry has promising prospect. And at last the...
The purpose of this paper was to understand e-learning current situation for fisherman in Taiwan. Then, the developing strategies will be suggested. The method of this study was questionnaire and interview with fisherman and fishery experts. There were 270 questionnaires collected by post mail. The return rate is 54%. The...
We developed a tool that migrates the database schema and the data from one database to another. As DBMSs store the same data by using slightly different data types, one cannot simply copy all the tables and data from the source DBMS to the target DBMS. When our tool, db2db,...
Hyphal fragments and protoplasts of two wood-degrading fungi, Postia placenta and Trametes versicolor, were used to examine the effects of two fungicides, copper sulfate and azaconazole, on fungal health (as measured by oxygen consumption, glucose utilization, potassium levels, cell regeneration, and copper uptake). Although both cell systems responded to the...
Collisions of counter-propagating solitary waves are investigated experimentally.
Precision measurements of water-surface profiles are made with the use of the laser
induced fluorescence (LIF) technique. During the collision, the maximum wave
amplitude exceeds that calculated by the superposition of the incident solitary waves,
and agrees well with both the asymptotic...
Studies of the effects of various chemicals on fungal growth are difficult to perform on filamentous fungi because of the difficulty of observing the protoplasm through the rigid hyphal wall, and because most activity occurs in the region near the hyphal tip. However, hyphae can be exposed to certain enzymes...
The actively subsiding North China sedimentary basin is associated with an unusually high level of seismic activity. This oil- and gas-producing basin has been the site of nine large (M ≥ 7), destructive earthquakes since 1600 A. D. An analysis of faulting during the Tangshan earthquake sequence, which includes some...
