He received his B.Sc. degree in Biology (1990) from Department of Biology, University of British Columbia, Canada, also M.Sc. in Botany (1993) from Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Canada and Ph.D. in Plant Ecology (1996) from Department of Animal & Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, England.Dr. Fraser's expertise is in grassland and wetland ecosystems, with a focus o...

An correct prediction of range of defects during a product throughout system testing contributes not solely to the management of the system testing method however additionally to the estimation of product’s maintenance. Here, a replacement approach, referred to as ‘Functional Estimation package Defect is conferred that computes associate degree estimate of total range of defects in associate de...

We define a semantics for stochastic Concurrent Constraint Programming (sCCP), a stochastic process algebra, in terms of stochastic hybrid automata with piecewise deterministic continuous dynamics. To each program we associate a lattice of hybrid models, parameterized with respect to the degree of discreteness left. We study some properties of this lattice, presenting also an alternative semant...

The complete classification of hexapods — also known as Stewart Gough platforms — of mobility one is still open. To tackle this problem, we can associate to each hexapod of mobility one an algebraic curve, called the configuration curve. In this paper we establish an upper bound for the degree of this curve, assuming the hexapod is general enough. Moreover, we provide a construction of hexapods...

Introduction: The basic needs of a patient and his/her family members are to be supported during health care and especially during critical situations. One such support is required during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Hence knowing the perspective of medical persons about “Family member’s Presence during Resuscitation” (FPDR) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is important...

Helma Wennemers HW received her master (Diploma) degree in chemistry from the University of Frankfurt in 1993 and her PhD degree from Columbia University New York in 1996. After two years as a postdoctoral researcher at Nagoya University, she joined the faculty at the University of Basel where she is now associate professor of chemistry. Her research focuses on the use of peptides in supramolec...

We consider a plane polynomial vector field P(x, y) dx +Q(x, y) dy of degree m > 1. With each algebraic invariant curve of such a field we associate a compact Riemann surface with the meromorphic differential ω = dx/P = dy/Q. The asymptotic estimate of the degree of an arbitrary algebraic invariant curve is found. In the smooth case this estimate has already been found by Cerveau and Lins Neto ...

The educational system in radiology programs worldwide are different. In the American system, they offer a certificate program (Cert) then an associate degree (AAS) −in some colleges diploma (Dip) − after that bachelor’s (B.S.). A radiographer a.k.a radiologic technologist can continue to get post-baccalaureate or master’s (M.S.) and −rarely America due shortage of Ph.D. programs− doctorate phi...

Abstract We associate a flow $\phi $ with solution of the vortex equations on closed oriented Riemannian 2-manifold $(M,g)$ negative Euler characteristic and investigate its properties. show that always admits dominated splitting identify special cases in which is Anosov. In particular, starting from holomorphic differentials fractional degree, we produce novel examples Anosov flows suitable ro...
