Environmental awareness has sparked increasing interest in changing the way humans interact with their environment. This includes change paradigm of considering human manure (humanure) not as a waste but valuable bioproduct instead. In this regard, composting is an age-old technique for nutrient recovery that gained renewed interest, it may be sanitary and financially viable solution to closing...

The convergence of the semantic web and the social web to the social semantic web leads to new challenges in ontology engineering. As of today ontologies are created by highly specialized ontology engineers. In order to unite "the wisdom of crowds" and ontologies new approaches to ontology creation are necessary to bridge the "ontology gap" and enable novice users to create formalized knowledge...

In the present work we have developed an algorithm based on maximum entropy and stop word removal modules, which works with almost 99% accuracy and have established supremacy over the existing paragraph breaker software developed by Text Mining Group, School of Computer Science, Manchester University, United Kingdom .

My first experience of doing scientific research came in the third year of my undergrad when genetics professor Marty Snyder kindly gave me a summer job in her lab at Acadia University. On my first day at work, Marty handed me a CD labeled “scallop data,” and then directed me to a towering Power Mac G4 computer. “See this?” she said, slapping the top of the G4. “Over the next few months you are...

The introduced concept of a gesture based sign language chat enables the communication of hearing impaired people over networks, including concerns regarding low throughput and bandwidth characteristics. Existing applications handle that task not appropriate, since either high bandwidth networks are necessary or the extensibility of the vocabulary is complicated for untrained users. Thereby our...

A user-friendly fully digital TDPAC-spectrometer with six detectors and fast digitizers using Field Programmable Gate Arrays is described and performance data are given.
