In this work MELOADES [mel-uh-dees] is presented: a methodology for long-term online adaptation of embedded software that addresses the challenge of redeploying software and executing it within resource constraints. Instead of using fixed analytical models of resource consumption developed offline or tuning model parameters, MELOADES automatically reconfigures hardware online without any analyt...

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) to click and pure tone stimuli were recorded in unrestrained, unanesthetized rats. The middle latency rat AEPs (N17, P23, N38) had midline scalp distributions similar to human MAEPs and were recorded to within 15 dB above BAEP threshold. In contrast to human MAEPs, rat MAEPs were decreased in amplitude at high stimulation rates and only the N17 component was un...

We establish an isoperimetric inequality with constraint by ndimensional lattices. We prove that, among all domains which consist of rectangular parallelepipeds with the common side-lengths, a cube is the best shape to minimize the ratio involving its perimeter and volume as long as the cube is realizable by the lattice. For its proof a solvability of finite difference PoissonNeumann problems i...

Most tools and resources developed for natural language processing of Arabic are designed for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and perform terribly on Arabic dialects, such as Egyptian Arabic. Egyptian Arabic differs from MSA phonologically, morphologically and lexically and has no standardized orthography. We present a linguistically accurate, large-scale morphological analyzer for Egyptian Arabic...

The literature suggests that nitrogen (N) fertilization increases yield in soybean. This study aimed to investigate the effects of N on: (i) performance soybean, and (ii) weed flora. A two-year field experiment was carried out Agrinio, Western Greece. set up a randomized complete block design, with four organic fertilizer treatments six replications. included 0 kg ha−1 (N0/unfertilized control)...
