Advances in VLSI array processing have led to many new
parallel structures for real-time Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
applications. Among all the architectures, systolic arrays have played
an important role because systolic arrays have regular, local
interconnections with modular structure. In ordinary systolic arrays,
however, all processing operations and data...
Using an oral history method, the author has recorded the life
history of Rosa González Gómez, a Mexican woman who spends part of
each year in the United States and part in Mexico. Comparing the
story of Rosa's life, as told in her own words, with literature in the

Computer decision aids can help integrate and apply diverse sources of information and expertise to problems of integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture and forestry. AppleMgr combines a rule-based expert system with databases and spreadsheets in a prototype decision aid intended to be expanded and modified for use by extension...
This study involves the development of a biofilm
reactor that supports growth of a deep biofilm on a gas
permeable membrane. The reactor solution is not aerated,
and oxygen is supplied through the membrane. The reactor
is termed a substratum-aerated-biofilm reactor or SAB.
With adequate concentrations of electron-donors and
electron-acceptors,...
