Cottonball, caused by the fungus Monilinia oxycocci, is an economically important disease on many cranberry marshes in Wisconsin. Cottonball has also been described in the Pacific Northwest and southeastern Canada, but losses in these areas have generally been minor. For reasons that are not known, cottonball has increased in importance in Wisconsin over the past 30 years. In recent years, abou...

This paper focuses on business-to-business contractual relationship in the context of second-generation contract management solutions. In particular, it describes the contract framework developed at HPLabs Bristol, UK. The presented solution is based on the concept of electronic contract, which represents a machine interpretable model for contracts. The contract framework has been designed with...

The lifetime of the B+ c meson is measured using semileptonic decays having a J/ψ meson and a muon in the final state. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2 fb−1, are collected by the LHCb detector in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The measured lifetime is τ = 509± 8± 12 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.

Mobile devices today contain many power hungry subsystems and execute different applications. Standard power management is not aware of the desired battery lifetime and has no visibility into which applications are executing. However, power consumption is strongly dependent on which applications are executed. In this work, we propose a novel power characterization strategy for mobile devices ca...

Results Based Management (RBM) can essentially be termed as a contemporary management philosophy and approach that focuses on the appropriate and timely achievement of relevant goals and objectives through strategic planning, systematic implementation and resource usage, performance monitoring, measurement and reporting as well as systematic utilisation of performance information to improve pol...

In this paper we present the inception of Integrated Knowledge Management (IKM). Knowledge management is entering its new stage, after the delays of its “definitionless”, IT-based period, when knowledge got confused with information, losing thus two decades of fruitful development. Although there now is a significant information overload, killing productivity, creativity and innovation, there c...

A variety of technologies have been developed to index and manage information contained within unstructured documents and information sources. Although often originally developed for textual data many of these information management tools have been applied successfully to imperfectly indexed multimedia data. Ongoing progress in all these technologies is creating opportunities to develop more so...

The purpose of computer forensic is to make digitalevidence which can be accepted in court using wellorganized technic and according to reasonable process in computer crime investigation. Recent forensic technic field is developed every year, however computer crime isn't. Especially, there are lacks of definite procedures such as collection, transfer, analysis of evidence, report evidence to th...
