Traffic marking is an essential component in any Differentiated Services (DS) architecture. Traffic marking can be done with respect to a single flow or a flow aggregate. In a DS network, traffic marking is typically performed at aggregate levels, rather than on the level of individual flows. The use of aggregation raises a number of concerns, such as fairness concern. When we deal with aggrega...

the purpose of this research is to analyze differential adpositional case marking (dacm) in vafsi within ot framework by using the generalization of aissen’s (2003) differential object marking (dom) model. while bossong (1985) has traced dom in more than 300 languages, dacm has not been investigated typologically, yet. dacm, as a branch of differential case marking (dcm), questions the effect o...

Lead in paint continues to be a threat to children's health in cities across the United States, which means there is an ongoing need for testing and analysis of paint. This ongoing analytical effort and especially development of new methods continue to drive the need for diagnostic testing materials that provide the analytical challenges of real-world paints. To this end, 31 different types of ...

The vast majority of information that is available online, and coming online in this near future is only available in HTML. In order to use this information for more than human browsing, it must be converted into a machine-readable format. Wrappers have been the key tool to make the conversion from HTML into semantically meaningful and well-structured XML data. However, developing wrappers is s...

Ambient PM2.5 aerosol samples were collected from Wroclaw residential area between January and April 2009, and their elemental compositions were studied. The mean mass concentration of PM2.5 was 36±21 μg/m. Based on the variability in elemental composition of atmospheric aerosols, using principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression (MLRA), four main sources of fine particula...

Parametric cubic spline curves are commonly used to model the geometry of road surfaces in real-time driving simulators. Roads are represented by space curves that define a curvilinear frame of reference in which three-dimensional points are expressed in coordinates of distance along the curve, offset from the central axis, and loft from the road surface. Simulators must map from global Cartesi...

We study the ground state properties of a polarized two-component Fermi gas on multileg attractive-$U$ Hubbard ladders. Using exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group method simulations, we construct grand canonical phase diagrams for ladder widths up to $W=5$ varying perpendicular geometries, characterizing quasi-one-dimensional regime dimensional crossover. unveil multic...

lead-based paint is an important cause of lead poisoning. this report describes our observation of excessive lead absorption among employees in a paint factory in which lead naphthenate and lead oxalate were used as drying agents in paint. in this study, blood levels of lead were compared between nineteen paint factory employees and twenty normal controls. the nineteen paint factory employees h...

Abstract Tires, bitumen, and road markings are important sources of traffic-derived carbonaceous wear particles microplastic (MP) pollution. In this study, we further developed a machine-learning algorithm coupled to an automated scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) analytical approach classify quantify the relative number following subclasses contained in...
