Temporal abstraction methods produce high level descriptions of a parameter evolution from collections of temporal data. As the level of abstraction of the data is increased, it becomes easier to use them in a reasoning process based on high-level explicit knowledge. Furthermore, the volume of data to be treated is reduced and, subsequently, the reasoning becomes more efficient. Besides, there ...

The legal articles are di cult to understand for a nonspecialist. We think that understanding becomes easier if the legal articles are expressed in the form of the owgraph. Since legal articles contain lots of information, the owgraph size becomes large when this information is expressed in the form of the owgraph. The display size and the resolution of the computers are limited. It is hard to ...

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in every field is increasing rapidly. In order for UAVs to perform their duties correctly, they must be able maintain continuous communication with ground stations. WiFi wireless protocol has increased due its high bandwidth. One the most important threats that can threaten this type Denial Service (DoS) attacks. event such an attack, UAV becomes inacce...

The physical ocean phenomena in the affect changes of water body, which has an important influence on sound propagation. A hyperbolic frequency modulation (HFM) signal propagation experiment towed source East Indian Ocean (EIO) was conducted summer 2019. center is 300 Hz, and hydrophone receives data from 4130 m far. This first time that we have underwater acoustic survey Ocean. phenomenon—Indi...

We report the case of a young man who accidentally received a prolonged electric discharge from electrical wires and released the electric source with the help of an inappropriate shock from his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), after misinterpretation of the electrical signal by the device as a ventricular tachycardia. This case illustrates the "electrical noise" phenomenon, and un...

In this issue of Neuron, Tochitsky et al. (2016) have identified the mechanism by which small-molecule photoswitches enter and specifically activate retinal OFF-ganglion cells in degenerated retinas. This drug development is a tremendous step toward the treatment of blindness, regardless of the underlying mutation.

Understanding how the information contained in genes is mapped onto the phenotypes, and deriving formal frameworks to search for generic aspects of developmental constraints and evolution remains one of the main challenges of contemporary biological research. The Mexican endemic triurid Lacandonia schismatica (Lacandoniaceae), a mycoheterotrophic monocotyledonous plant with hermaphroditic repro...

MaizeGDB is the maize research community's central repository for genetic and genomic information about the crop plant and research model Zea mays ssp. mays. The MaizeGDB team endeavors to meet research needs as they evolve based on researcher feedback and guidance. Recent work has focused on better integrating existing data with sequence information as it becomes available for the B73, Mo17 an...

PCor screen-based telephony applications should offer a new quality of usability to their users due to new interaction possibilities which are unavailable for the design for standard telephone interfaces. Most telephony applications on PCs are, however, not easier to use or to understand than conventional telephones. We argue that this is due to the fact that designers use these alternative int...
