the investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at wondo genet agricultural research center nursery site. four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

Today, numerical simulation can be used as a suitable tool to measure large quantities that are very expensive and, in some cases, impossible to measure. One of the important issues in predicting rock mass boreability in excavation with full face tunnel boring machines is estimating the discchr('39')s forces for rock cutting. For this purpose, the linear cutting test is  employed. However, limi...

How best can we understand – and visualize – the structure in multi-dimensional data? One common approach is to rely on hierarchical cluster analysis, either for theoretical or for more descriptive reasons. Here, we point out that an apparently revealing hierarchical clustering solution may well be compatible with structure that is not well characterized as a hierarchy. In particular, a hierarc...

1. INTRODUCTION The current limitations in the decomposition capabilities of object-oriented software force the tangling of cross-cutting behaviour with all other elements that it affects. This has a negative impact across the development lifecycle, from comprehensibility, traceability, evolvability and reusability points of view. This problem has been addressed within the programming phase by ...

Separation of concerns has long been considered an effective and efficient strategy to deal with complexity in information systems. One sort of concern crosses over other concerns, which makes their management difficult. Aspect Orientation is a paradigm in information systems which aims to encapsulate cross-cutting concerns to overcome this problem. In the Business Process Management (BPM) area...

Discipline-specific Malaria Eradication Research Agenda (malERA) Consultative Groups have recognized several cross-cutting issues that must be addressed to prevent repetition of some of the mistakes of past malaria elimination campaigns in future programs. Integrated research is required to develop a decision-making framework for the switch from malaria control to elimination. Similarly, a stro...

Changing demographic, social, economic and technological trends have impacted the expectations of the Academic Health Center in preparing physicians to serve the needs of the American society, resulting in revisions to current curricula. In addition to the traditional basic sciences and clinical disciplines, accredited medical schools are required to provide curriculum exposure in behavioral he...

Contemporary enterprise web applications deal with a large stack of different kinds of concerns involving business rules, security policies, cross-cutting configuration, etc. At the same time, increasing demands on user interface complexity make designers to consider the above concerns in the presentation. To locate a concern knowledge, we try to identify an appropriate system component with th...

In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing a shape from unorganized cross-sections. The main motivation for this problem comes from medical imaging applications where cross-sections of human organs are obtained by means of a free hand ultrasound apparatus. The position and orientation of the cutting planes may be freely chosen which makes the problem substantially more difficult t...

We re-examine the problem of decomposing systems in Event-B. We develop a pattern for cross-cutting events and invariants that enables the core dependencies in multi-machine systems to be tracked. We give the essential verification conditions.
