GENET has been shown to be eecient and eeective on certain hard or large constraint satisfaction problems. Although GENET has been enhanced to handle also the atmost and illegal constraints in addition to binary constraints, it is deecient in handling non-binary constraints in general. In this paper, we present E-GENET, an extended GENET. E-GENET features a convergence and learning procedure si...

Phenotypic distributions of three quantitative traits for the parents, nearly isogenic lines, and npr-1 mutants. Box plots show the summary phenotype data of the two parents (Bristol in orange and Hawaii in blue), the two nearly iso...

The taxonomy and ecology of the cyclopoid copepod genus Thermocyclops were studied. Samples were collected in 207 water bodies located in the 22 hydrographic basins of São Paulo State, Brazil, including large reservoirs, small and shallow lakes, and ponds and rivers. The genus Thermocyclops inhabits mainly water bodies within a limnetic region. Four species were found, of which one is new: Ther...

The Bactrian camel includes various domestic (Camelus bactrianus) and wild (Camelus ferus) breeds that are important for transportation and for their nutritional value. However, there is a lack of extensive information on their genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure. Here, we studied these parameters by examining an 809-bp mtDNA fragment from 113 individuals, representing 11 domestic b...

An integrative approach for understanding the psychological and neural basis of congenital prosopagnosia.

The effectiveness of gamma irradiation on the inactivation of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in fresh soft cheese that prepared from artificially inoculated milk samples was studied. Irradiation at dose of 2 kGy was sufficient for the complete inactivation of these mycobacteria as they were not detected in the treated samples during storage at...

This paper presents the methodology that has been used to create the 2011 Area Classification for Output Areas (2011 OAC). This extends a lineage of widely used public domain census-only geodemographic classifications in the UK. It provides an update to the successful 2001 OAC methodology, and summarises the social and physical structure of neighbourhoods using data from the 2011 UK Census. The...

The SOAMIG project aims at developing a general migration process for model-driven migrations towards Service-Oriented Architectures. This paper highlights the model-driven tools developed during the SOAMIG project for two case studies: A language migration from a COBOL transactional server to Java web services, and a second study on an architecture migration from a monolithic Java fat client t...
