The long-term vegetative and reproductive growth rates of a wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L.) were determined in three separate studies (24, 45, and 79 days) in response to a wide range of photosynthetic photon fluxes (PPF, 400-2080 micromoles per square meter per second; 22-150 moles per square meter per day; 16-20 hour photoperiod) in a near-optimum, controlled-environment. The CO2 concentra...

The excitation frequency on the electrical characteristics of pork had been identified by the experiments of the electrical characteristics and the theory of electrical characteristics, the relationship between the evaluation of quality of pork and the impedance characteristics was established, and a nondestructive portable meter for measuring pork quality was developed. The functions of each h...

Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 is an extension of earlier versions addressing security and administration features of SNMP. SNMPv3 has additional features like different message format and defines new management information bases (MIB) for security, configuration, notification, view-based access control and proxy forwarding. Simulation of SNMPv3 traffic flow meter MIB has been car...

A method of reconstructing perceived or imagined music by analyzing brain activity has not yet been established. As a first step toward developing such a method, we aimed to reconstruct the imagery of rhythm, which is one element of music. It has been reported that a periodic electroencephalogram (EEG) response is elicited while a human imagines a binary or ternary meter on a musical beat. Howe...

Beat perception in music has been proposed to be a human universal that may have its origins in adaptive processes involving temporal entrainment such as social communication and interaction. We examined beat perception skills in individuals with Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic, neurodevelopmental disorder. Musical interest and hypersociability are two prominent aspects of the WS phenotype al...

Die kommerzielle Erbringung von IP-Diensten macht neben der Kontrolle des Zugangs zu Diensten über Authentifizierung und Autorisierung eine leistungsfähige Messinfrastruktur zur Erfassung der Ressourcennutzung erforderlich. In Differentiated Services Netzen müssen dazu messtechnische Lösungen zur Erfassung von AccountingDaten und zur Überprüfung der im Service Level Agreement zugesagten Grenzwe...

In order to improve the flight training level, a real-time flight meter simulator is developed. Based on allpurpose simulation math model, it can complete all the flight subjects. In the intelligent control model, by comparison with the actual flight data prepared in advance in the repository, it can automatically adjust the control input, which makes the system error decrease gradually. The mo...

The presented work deals with the quantitative parameters of the statistically calculated attraction of words to a number of meters in Russian poetry. This attraction tendency can be detected by means of Fisher's exact test. At the level of large corpora, where the meters are not differentiated by the number of steps, we failed to detect any semantic causes of the attraction. As for the prosodi...

This paper examines the acoustic and perceptual properties of iambic vs. trochaic meter in a large corpus of read German poetry. Psychoacoustic evidence of metrical grouping is not straightforwardly applicable to speech, due to the complex interaction of the involved acoustic parameters in prominence expression. It is possible that grouping effects in (poetic) speech are merely an artifact of l...

In this study most parents valued their peak flow meter for its usefulness in the recognition of severe asthma attacks. That 42 of the 50 parents recalled their child's danger peak flow level to within 10% of the correct value suggests that most parents were capable of using the peak flow meter to recognise severe attacks. Only 20% of families wrote about the usefulness of their peak flow meter...
