Remote sensing has shown promise for predicting grain protein content for winter cereals, with satellite image data acquired near flowering, being significantly correlated with grain protein of wheat and barley crops. The use of commercially available satellite or airborne imagery to map grain protein content would allow growers and marketers the ability to evaluate crop performance and provide...

Increasingly, videos and 3D animations get integrated into learning software. The development of high quality content is demanding in regard to technical expertise and financial resources. Such an effort should be justified by an enhanced benefit for the target groups. The question arises if different learner characteristics influence the motivation to use such features. The study presented inv...

Animal Physiology by Knut SchmidtNielsen has been a classic in its field since its first publication in 1975. During my undergraduate years, I remember using an older edition as a supplement to an introductory biology course. I look back on the Schmidt-Nielsen text as a source of clear exposition for principles that govern life. Like the past edition, the fifth edition, is also an excellent tex...

Automated building recognition remains an open research problem in digital photogrammetry. Despite considerable research in this area over the past 15 years, no general methods have been found. Over the same period, considerable advances have occurred in aspects of computer vision that appear to have similar characteristics to the problems in photogrammetry. One approach to object recognition t...

We have developed a polysomnographic database on CD-ROM. The data were obtained from 16 subjects with sleep apnea syndrome. The physiological signals include electroencephalogram, electromyogram, electrooculogram, invasive blood pressure, respiratory wave, oxygen saturation, and cardiac volume as measured by VEST method. The CD-ROM also include programs to analyze polysomnography (PSG) data. Th...

PlasmoDB (http://PlasmoDB.org) is the official database of the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequencing consortium. This resource incorporates finished and draft genome sequence data and annotation emerging from Plasmodium sequencing projects. PlasmoDB currently houses information from five parasite species and provides tools for cross-species comparisons. Sequence information is also integrated...

The Great Plains are sometimes characterized as an economically lagging region. To shed some light on the region sprospects, the locational and structural changes in employment patterns in the northern and central Great Plains were examinedfor the 1980 to 1990 period. County-level data were drawn from CD-ROM census publications and matched with locational references using Atlas *GIS . Shift-sha...

It was found recently with the use of the ballooning formalism that the toroidal asymmetry of the stellarator magnetic configuration can significantly change the structure of Torodicity-induced Alfvén Eigenmodes (TAE) with high toroidal mode numbers (n), producing singular (stepwise) wave functions [Yakovenko, Yu.V., et al., Energetic Particles in Magnetic Confinement Systems (Proc. 10th IAEA T...

The available technologies for publishing journals ‘electronically’ are surveyed. They range from abstract representations, such as SGML, concerned largely with the structure of the document, to formats such as PostScript which faithfully model the layout and the appearance. The issues are discussed in the context of choosing a format for electronically publishing the journal: Electronic Publis...
