The Structural Active-Object System (SAOS) approach allows rapid development of various concurrent systems by structural and hierarchical object composition (SHOC). We implemented, as a SAOS program, a graphical editing and simulation program for automatic guided vehicle (AGV) systems, which carry around parts in automated factories. It is difficult to predict...
Pattern matching is the process of comparing two objects to see if they are similar to each other. Objects can be physical objects, situations, facts or events. The criteria of matching can be exact or partial. Traditional pattern matching systems rely on exact matches, in which a small set of...
Multimedia networking is one of the most exciting developments in today's Internet. Streaming technology; which allows the player to start playing audio/video data immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to be downloaded, presents an attractive vehicle for the distribution of multimedia content over the Internet. However, transmitting real-time...
The study related the density of herbivores to the length and density of Prionitis spp. in Oregon’s coastal tidepools. Oregon’s coastal rocky intertidal tidepools contain a variety of species interactions, including algal grazing by herbivores. The red branched algae Prionitis spp. is found throughout the rocky intertidal in the low...
Light plays an important role in ecological processes in the ocean both day and night. While relatively inexpensive, off the shelf instruments are available to measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR during the day, efforts to quantify light levels at night have proven more difficult. The goal of this work...
Forage samples from fringed sagebrush+forbs+needlegrass (mountain steppe) and forbs+grasses (mountain meadow) communities in the forest steppe rangelands of Mongolia were collected in late February, April, May, June, July, August, September and October. Samples were analysed for chemical composition and digestibility.
The study indicated that OM content of mountain steppe pasture...
