Desktop software agents are background processes that notify a computer user of certain predefined events. The complexity of desktop computing is increasing due to the proliferation of software agents. A desktop agent manager (DAM) may become an important component of desktop computing. This article focuses on the decision mechanism for the DAM to decide which agents should be allowed to access...

The present study concerns seasonal variations, correlation coefficient and biodiversity indices of zooplanktons during January-December, 2008 in the Harsool-Savangi dam, Aurangabad, India. A total of 25 genera were recorded of which 10 were Rotifers, 8 Cladocerons, 5 Copepods and 2 Ostracods. Present study revealed maximum percentage wise compositions of Rotifers at north site were 58.28%, Cla...

This paper aimed to review and compare the conventional and advanced numerical techniques used for stability analysis of rock slopes. Two important methods of probabilistic limit equilibrium analysis and distinct element method are used to check the stability of northern abutment rock slope of Gotvand dam (iran) and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is discussed. The results of th...

Understanding the spatial and temporal variation of nutrient concentrations, loads, and their distribution from upstream tributaries is important for the management of large lakes and reservoirs. The Three Gorges Dam was built on the Yangtze River in China, the world's third longest river, and impounded the famous Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). In this study, we analyzed total nitrogen (TN) conc...

Point source n~casurcmcnts (e.g. sun photmnctcr dam, weather station observations) are often Used to constrain radiative transfer models such as MODTRAN/I..OWTRAN7 when atmosphcricall y correcting AVIRIS imagery. “l’he basic assumption is that the atmosphere is horizontally homogeneous throughout the entire area. If the target area of interest is located a distance away from the point mcasurcmc...

In power generating terms, a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) energy generating plant, on a river entering a sea or ocean, is equivalent to a hydroelectric dam with a height of about 60 meters. Therefore, PRO can add significantly to existing renewable power generation capacity if economical constrains of the method are resolved. PRO energy generation relies on a semipermeable membrane that is p...

The influence of environmental factors (mainly the river flow) on the year-to-year variability of European eel Anguilla anguilla fluvial recruitment in a small coastal catchment, the Frémur River (north-west France) was examined. A comprehensive survey of catches from fixed traps at two weirs located at 4.5 km (Pont es Omnes Dam) and 6.0 km (Bois Joli Dam) above the river mouth was carried out ...
