One new species of Riethia Kieffer, Riethia manauara n. sp., is described and figured as male, pupa and larva. The generic diagnosis for pupae and larvae are emended. The specimens were collected from water systems in the Amazon Rainforest in northern Brazil.

We consider the problem of sorting a file of N records on the D-disk model of parallel I/O in which there are two sources of parallelism. Records are transferred to and from disk concurrently in blocks of B contiguous records. In each I/O operation, up to one block can be transferred to or from each of the D disks in parallel. We propose a simple, efficient, randomized mergesort algorithm calle...

Pest des petits ruminants (PPR) is one of the important viral diseases of goats and sheep. The viral agent of PPR, Small ruminant morbillivirus (SRM), has been shown to infect several species among domestic and wild ruminants. In order to investigate the occurrence of SRM infection in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), blood samples were collected from 150 buffaloes (98 males, 52 females) referre...

In this study, radial forces that create noise, which is a fundamental problem in Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM), are investigated. Since force causes stator vibrations and noise caused by magnetic field, new switched reluctance motor model with increased rotor poles has been designed order to reduce the acting on poles. addition, structure high torque low leakage flux compared conventional wi...

Comparison of Degree-Day and Radiation base Snowmelt Runoff Model (SRM) for Estimating from Snow Melting

In this paper, we present a formal model of the reliable multicast service that ensures eventual packet delivery with, possibly, some timeliness guarantees. This model dictates precisely what it means to be a member of the reliable multicast group and which packets are guaranteed delivery to which members of the group. Moreover, it is reasonable, implementable, and broad; that is, it captures t...

1. The Spike Response Model 1 ABSTRACT A description of neuronal activity on the level of ion channels, as in the Hodgkin-Huxley model, leads to a set of coupled nonlinear diier-ential equations which are diicult to analyze. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework for a reduction of the nonlinear spike dynamics to a threshold process. Spikes occur if the membrane potential u(t) reaches...

To improve the performance of a solid rocket motor (SRM), multiobjective optimal design method that can consider structural integrity, internal ballistic performance, and loading SRM was proposed based on parametric modeling surrogate technology. Firstly, technology introduced into field integrity analysis for high-loading SRM, which influences load geometric parameters maximum von Mises strain...

The need for a suitable classification of media types arises for several reasons when building or comparing multimedia systems. Within an Intelligent Multimedia Presentation Systems (IMMPS) it is necessary to formulate and encode design knowledge for decision making on the appropriate medium in which to present information and for the generation of the presentation. It is also required in order...

Multivariate analysis of fMRI data has benefited substantially from advances in machine learning. Most recently, a range of probabilistic latent variable models applied to fMRI data have been successful in a variety of tasks, including identifying similarity patterns in neural data (Representational Similarity Analysis and its empirical Bayes variant, RSA and BRSA; Intersubject Functional Conne...
