We are developing a decision support system in an effort to assist biologists who are managing habitats for the Rocky Mountain population of trumpeter swans. Swan management is a domain that is ecologically complex, and this complexity is compounded by spatial and temporal issues. We are focused on providing decision support that allows managers to develop habitat management plans for local sit...

We show for a finite abelian group G and any element in the image of the Swan homomorphism sw : Z/|G|∗ −→ K̃0(ZG) that it can be realized as the finiteness obstruction of a finitely dominated connected CW -complex X with fundamental group π1(X) = G such that π1(X) is equal to the subgroup G1(X) defined by Gottlieb. This is motivated by the observation that any H-space X satisfies π1(X) = G1(X) a...

We introduce the Swan class of an -adic etale sheaf on a variety over a local field. It is a generalization of the classical Swan conductor measuring the wild ramification and is defined as a 0-cycle class supported on the reduction. We establish a Riemann-Roch formula for the Swan class. Let K be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic 0. We assume that the residue field F is a p...

Agrawal AT&T Bell Laboratories 600 Mountain Avenue Murray Hill, NJ 07974 feah,trotter,paul,mbs,[email protected] Abstract| The SWAN1 project investigates architectural aspects of networks containing mobile hosts. The network model includes base stations connected via a wired, ATM infrastructure...

Our long-term goal is to develop a suite of compact, inexpensive in situ optical property sensors for use on autonomous platforms. As part of this long-term goal, our Phase I research efforts have focused on design, development, and testing of an inexpensive (nominally expendable) water property measurement system to provide environmental optical parameters in the surfzone that are critical for...

OBJECTIVES Gender inequity has persisted in academic medicine. Yet equity is vital for countries to achieve their full potential in terms of translational research and patient benefit. This study sought to understand how the gender equity programme, Athena SWAN, can be enabled and constrained by interactions between the programme and the context it is implemented into, and whether these interac...

It has been found that after pulmonary valvotomy for pulmonary valvular stenosis with an intact interventricular septum a satisfactory fall in right ventricular pressure is not always achieved immediately. In order to explain this, Kirklin, Connolly, Ellis, Burchell, Edwards, and Wood (1953) concluded that before the development of open heart surgery there were two main reasons: (1) failure to ...
