Border crossing delays between New York State and Southern Ontario cause problems like enormous economic loss and massive environmental pollutions. In this area, there are three bordercrossing ports: Peace Bridge (PB), Rainbow Bridge (RB) and Lewiston-Queenston Bridge (LQ) at Niagara Frontier border. The goals of this paper are to figure out whether the distributions of binational wait times fo...

Heat transfer through building envelopes is a crucial aspect of energy efficiency in construction. Masonry walls, being commonly used material, have significant impact on thermal performance. In recent years, green roofs and walls gained popularity as means improving efficiency, reducing urban heat islands, enhancing aesthetics. This study aims to investigate the effect ivy (Hedera helix) green...

Abstract Declines in floral resources, pollen and nectar, are considered one cause of pollinator decline. However, the supply demand resources can vary temporally. In Britain, autumn has been suggested as a period high resource availability due to flowering ivy ( Hedera helix ), common native plant, combined with fewer insects active during this season. Here, we directly quantified proportion n...

While the debate over information systems and their role in society persists, the discipline continues to seek approaches to better understand IS, and its complex interactions with organizations and people. This paper draws ideas from Deleuze and Guattari’s work on rhizomes (a nonhierarchical network) and its opposing tree (arboreal structure), to develop better insights (Deleuze and Guattari 2...

Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) offers a convenient support for distributed applications. It can be viewed as an alternative to the message passing programming model. DSM has been developed through research projects mostly: Ivy [Li 86], Clouds [Ramachandran 88], Munin [Carter 91], Mirage [Fleisch 89] for example. Meanwhile, efforts towards industrial products have been made : Treadmarks [Kelehe...
