This paper describes the project goals for Transarc's ARPA research. Our overriding goal is the development of a new le system interface that supports enhanced le location, organization, and manipulation. The interface must handle problems of scale in a wide-area environment. The views and conclusions expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not represent the oocial position of A...

As short range wireless networks (such as wireless local area networks (WLANs) and Bluetooth) become widespread, an infrastructure is emerging on which we envision advanced value-added services. Such an infrastructure can provide access to not only services on the greater Web but also services which are locally relevant and more tailored to the user’s current context (e.g., the user’s location,...

We quantified basal area increment phenology over a 2-year period in one loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and four slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) full-sib families propagated as rooting cuttings. In 2002, basal area growth started in March and stopped in October for both species, while in 2003, initiation and cessation occurred 2 weeks earlier for all families. In both years,...

Usually limbic encephalitis (LE) is a paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome. LE symptoms can precede cancer even by a few years. Almost 50% of LE cases are connected with small cell lung carcinoma. Testis and breast cancers, granulomatous disease, thymoma, and teratomas are also often connected with LE. Other cases have infectious and autoimmunological aetiology. In LE limbic system dysfunction is...

Fluorine (from "le fluor", meaning "to flow") is a second row element of Group 17 in the periodic table. When bound to carbon it forms the strongest bond in organic chemistry to give organofluorine compounds. The scientific field treating them, organofluorine chemistry, started before elemental fluorine itself was isolated. Applying the fruits in academia, industrial organofluorine chemistry ha...

A new compound, Surflan (Surflan), for mitotic polyploidization in vitro in lily was tested and compared with the original compound ‘oryzalin’. Surflan was effective for mitotic polyploidization of lilies. The optimal concentration of Surflan was 0.0075% for in vitro chromosome doubling. A low concentration (0.0025%) was still effective to produce polyploid plants, however, a high concentration...

cette approche se fonde sur la constatation préalable que l’explication de la règle juridique ne saurait être trouvée exclusivement dans le droit positif lui-même. le droit est un fait de langage, porteur des valeurs qui devraient être appréciées par rapport à une valeur transcendante, c’est-à- dire la dignité humaine. la théorie kantienne fait de cette dignité la norme idéale de la citoyenneté...

Accurate estimation of latent heat flux (LE) is critical in characterizing semiarid ecosystems. Many LE algorithms have been developed during the past few decades. However, the algorithms have not been directly compared, particularly over global semiarid ecosystems. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of five LE models over semiarid ecosystems such as grassland, shrub, and savanna using...
