Ubiquitäre Umgebungen erfassen meist über Sensoren Informationen über die BenutzerInnen im Raum, analysieren diese Informationen und passen die Umgebungen an die anwesenden Benutzer an. Beispielsweise kann ein Konferenzraum anhand der anwesenden Personen und deren Positionen und Aktionen auf die Art der Sitzung schließen und die Rechnerkonfiguration, die Beleuchtung, die Jalousien, die Projekti...

an analysis of the stages of crop growth presents an important step in the improvement of production management. through growth analysis, planning for planting systems, fertilization, pruning operations, harvest time as well as obtaining economical yield can be more accessible. therefore, a development of mathematical models simulating plant growth would be helpful in improving crop management,...

The authors introduce a new vision for providing computing services for connected devices. It is based on the key concept that future computing resources will be coupled with communication resources, for enhancing user experience of the connected users, and also for optimising resources in the providers’ infrastructures. Such coupling is achieved by Joint/Cooperative resource allocation algorit...

Contemporary quantitative mass spectrometry provides fascinating opportunities in defining the stoichiometry of high-molecular weight complexes or multiprotein platforms. The composition stoichiometry of multiprotein platforms is a key to understand the regulation of complex signaling pathways and provides a basis for constructing models in systems biology. Here we present an improved AQUA tech...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of allergy in athletes is increasing, and its risk varies across sports. The risk is dependent mainly on the ventilation rate and environmental factors; however, the prevalence of allergy in elite runners remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to screen allergy symptoms in elite marathon runners by using a validated questionnaire for screening allergy in...

Dependable distributed systems are diÆcult to build. This is particularly true if they have dependability requirements that change during the execution of an application and are built with commercial o -the-shelf hardware. In that case, fault tolerance can be achieved using middleware, and mechanisms must be provided to communicate the dependability requirements of a distributed application to ...
