Existing encoding schemes and index structures proposed for XML query processing primarily target the containment relationship, specifically the parent–child and ancestor–descendant relationship. The presence of preceding-sibling and following-sibling location steps in the XPath specification, which is the de facto query language for XML, makes the horizontal navigation, besides the vertical na...

The ever-increasing of spatial datasets and the widely application of the complex computation have motivated the emergence of distributed algorithms to process spatial operations efficiently. The R-tree index is broadly used by researches as a distributed spatial structure for indexing and retrieval of spatial objects. However, a big challenge has arisen, that is, how to check the consistency o...

measurements of pb, cu, zn, as, ni, hg, and fe heavy metals and major elements and components such as ca, hco3, so4, na, k, mg and cl in soluble rain fractions were performed on rainwater collected at arak plain during the rainy seasons of 2012. concentrations of the heavy metals in the soluble fractions decreased for fe, pb, zn, ni, cu, as and hg, respectively and the major elements and compon...

This document provides example R code demonstrating how to use the BayesSingleSub package (Section 1), and the technical details for the sampling routines (Section 2). 1 Tutorial for computing de Vries and Morey's Bayes factors Here, we show how to compute the Bayes factors B ar , B trend , B int , and B t+i , and how to obtain and plot the posterior distributions of the model parameters. First...

Conjugative transfer of R plasmids R64 and R64drd-11 has been compared in vitro and in vivo without selective pressure by antibiotics in a simplified experimental system; the ecosystem was the bowel of germfree chickens, with the host bacteria almost isogenic, and the plasmids differing only in their conjugative transfer frequency. The spread of repressed and derepressed (drd) R plasmids in rec...
