The integrated management of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) for cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) plays a key role in guaranteeing the high quality and safety of cucumber production. This paper describes an attempt to develop a web-based GAP management information system for cucumber. Through applying the system methodology and mathematical modeling technique to analyzing the dynamic relationshi...

Gastrointestinal parasitic infections are a major constraint to small ruminant productivity in the tropics and subtropics, including Tanzania. This significantly reduces the economy and food supply to small farmers and their families. Earlier studies at the University of Nottingham (see for example Butter et al., 2000) have shown that feeding the extracted tannin from Quebracho (used in the lea...

We propose new search and browse methods that use three-dimensional (3D) viewpoints as queries of digital archive content. The idea is that by linking 3D models and photographs via spatial information, the view point in particular, we can use them as a reference for each other when browsing photographs and/or information, or walking through the 3D virtual space. A 3D viewpointbased approach is ...

A simple tool is described to aid in the development of operational semantics. The tool supports publication quality rendering using LTEX, animation using a functional programming system, and derivation tree browsing using Netscape. The tool has been used on a large subset of the Java Virtual Machine, as well as a number of relatively small languages.

Silviculturists use a variety of techniques, including repellents, to reduce browse damage by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to valuable eastern hardwood seedlings. Systemic selenium, sodium selenite, was evaluated with captive whitetailed deer for its repellency in white ash (Fraxinus americana) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) seedlings. Selenium had no effect in reducing browsi...

The World Wide Web has emerged as one of the most widely available and diverse information sources of all time, yet the options for accessing this information are limited. This paper introduces CWIC, the Continuous Web Image Collector, a system that automatically traverses selected Web sites collecting and analyzing images, then presents them to the user using one of a variety of available disp...

Ten willow cultivars grown in experimental plots were evaluated for performance, attractiveness to foragers, and the content composition of soluble carbohydrates. The survival cuttings a thicket browse differed subject cultivar, soil quality, moisture content. number stump sprouts varied considerably, from 1.1 shoots weakest soils S?onin, Poland, 3.43 plot Czempin, Poland. Browse established 20...

This demonstration shows a method and implementation to interactively display large hierarchies (up to 10,000 nodes) within a web browser. This software computes a degree of interest (DOI) for each node in the hierarchy and displays an overview of the complete hierarchy while showing more detail for nodes with a higher DOI value.
