We simulate the effect of climate change on water requirements of cold seasonwheat in various climatic zones of Iran. The research considers both observedclimate (temperature and precipitation) changes during recent decades (1960-2009)based on instrumental records and projected future changes to 2100 based on theMAGICC/SCENGEN 5.3 compound model. 20 General Circulation models are usedbased on a...

The antiviral RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR, binds to viral double-stranded RNA in the cell and halts protein synthesis by phosphorylating the alpha subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2. In this issue of Cell, two complementary papers Dar et al. (2005) and Dey et al. (2005) address the interaction between PKR and eIF2alpha. The structures of eIF2alpha bound to PKR reveal that P...

Sir,?With reference to the letter of Babu Akshoy Chandra Dey, i,.m.p., in the Indian Medical Gazette of August last, regarding flying intestinal " worms," I wish to say that about IS years ago I came across a number of such cases, in a village in the district of Khulna, Bengal. The insects resembled those found in local mangoes and they used to fly immediately upon their expulsion from the inte...

Decision support systems (DSSs) are widely used in many organisations (Arslan et al., 2004; Belecheanu et al., 2003; Dey, 2001; Gopalakrishnan et al., 2004; Lau et al., 2001; Puente et al., 2002). However, there is a common tendency to apply experience and techniques gained from large organisations directly to small businesses, without recognising the different decision support needs of the sma...

The vector and axial vector current mixing phenomena at low temperature pion gas by Dey, Eletsky and Ioffe, leads to the low temperature correction of the photon-vector meson coupling (gρ) at order ǫ = T 2/6f2 π and the ρ meson mass at order ǫ2. We show how this low temperature theorems involving the photon and vector mesons are satisfied in the chiral models based on hidden gauge symmetry and ...

For nearly a decade, researchers had struggled with a widely accepted definition of context. Recently, the definition proposed by Dey, et al. provided a theoretical foundation for future research in context related area. The problem researchers face now is how to use such a general framework in practice. My dissertation will investigate the gap between the existing framework and practical desig...

Sycophilodes Joseph is a non-pollinating fig wasp genus so far reported only from Ficus benghalensis L. The genus Sycophilodes is revised with redescription of the male and the first description of the female of its only currently included species, S. moniliformis. A second species, Sycophilodes uluberiaensis Pramanik & Dey sp. nov. is described. Available keys are modified and supplemented to ...

The Context Toolkit (Dey, Salber, and Abowd 2001 [this special issue]) is only one of many possible architectures for supporting context-aware applications. In this essay, we look at the trade-offs involved with a service infrastructure approach to context-aware computing. We describe the advantages that a service infrastructure for contextawareness has over other approaches, outline some of th...
