A creative work of literary fiction, Chrysalis is
the story of Rachelle Long: a young woman who struggles
to find her identity in a world marked by changing (and
often, conflicting) ideas regarding sexuality, economics,
gender roles and relations, and individual rights. Just
one year into the workforce following her...
While there is a persistent inverse relationship between latitude and species diversity across many taxa and ecosystems, deviations from this norm offer an opportunity to understand the conditions that contribute to large-scale diversity patterns. Marine systems, in particular, provide such an opportunity, as marine diversity does not always follow a...
With the ongoing crisis of biodiversity loss and limited resources for conservation, the concept of biodiversity hotspots has been useful in determining conservation priority areas. However, there has been limited research into how temporal variability in biodiversity may influence conservation area prioritization. To address this information gap, we present an...
Over the past few years Qualitative Reasoning about physical systems has emerged strongly as an important area in Artificial Intelligence. Many qualitative reasoning formalisms have been developed and applied to varied domains, namely, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, industrial control etc.
This paper examines Qualitative Process Theory [Forbus 84] formalism in...
Dataparallel C is a SIMD style data-parallel programming language for MIMD computers. Dataparallel Chas been implemented on both shared memory (Sequent) and distributed memory (Intel and nCUBE) computers. Here we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Dataparallel C by comparing the performance of compiled Dataparallel C programs with the performance...
The pore size distribution of several battery separators were
determined experimentally by mercury penetration method using the
Aminco-Winslow porosimeter. The performances of the separators under
electrolyte penetration were also studied. The results of electrolyte
penetration revealed that the degree of penetration was affected
by the anions of the entrained salts...
An inverse system framework is followed in this paper to analyse the process of price formation in the Sydney Fish Market for the quota species of Australias South East Fishery. The log-linear version is supported by the data and the system is estimated using the seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) technique....
