Nitrification in the hyporheic zone of Sycamore Creek, a Sonoran Desert stream, was examined, focusing on the association between respiration and nitrate production. Subsurface respiration in Sycamore Creek is highest in regions of hydrologic downwelling where organic matter derived from the stream surface is transported into the hyporheic zone. Similarly, nitrification was closely related to h...

high levels of mental health during studying in university, makes students able to deal effectively with numerous stressors they experience. our aim of this study was to examine and compare social anxiety among first to fourth year student nurses of ministry of health affiliated universities of medical sciences located in tehran city, iran in 2010. in this descriptive analytic study, 400 studen...

We are investigating the fusion of edge information into Markov Random Fields (MRF) region growing based image segmentation. Our goal is to segment the image in a way that would take edge information into consideration. This is achieved by modifying the energy minimization process so that it would penalize merging regions that have real edges in the boundary between them. Experimental results c...

Sequence comparison is a fundamental task in pattern matching. Its applications include file comparison, spelling correction, information retrieval, and computing (dis)similarities between biological sequences. A common scheme for sequence comparison is the longest common subsequence (LCS ) metric. This paper considers the fully incremental LCS computation problem as follows: For any strings A,...

This paper describes the implementation of a Stub Generation system targeted specifically at C++. It enables distributed C++ applications to be constructed in a straightforward manner with minimal programmer assistance. The system does not require the use of an auxiliary interface definition language but instead processes existing C++ header files to maximise transparency. The generated code ex...
