humans, sandeels are caught and processed into fish meal and oil to make food pellets for salmon farming and livestock feed. Fishing for anchovy should continue to be banned in the Bay of Biscay at least until spring 2007, ICES said. Lying off the Atlantic coast of France and Spain, the Bay of Biscay is the key trawling ground for anchovy, a very shortlived species and widely used in Mediterran...

The CreBC two-component system (TCS) is a conserved regulatory system found in Escherichia coli, Aeromonas spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. In this study, we determined how CreBC TCS regulates secreted protease activities and swimming motility using creB, creC, and creBC in-frame deletion mutants (KJΔCreB, KJΔCreC, and KJΔBC) of S. maltophilia KJ. Compared to wild...

Code size expansion of software-pipelined loops is a critical problem for DSP systems with strict code size constraint. Some ad-hoc code size reduction techniques were used to try to reduce the prologue/epilogue produced by software pipelining. This paper presents the fundamental understanding of the relationship between code size expansion and software pipelining. Based on the retiming concept...

The current design of BGP implicitly assumes the existence of trust between ASes with respect to exchanging valid BGP updates. This assumption of complete trust is problematic given the frequent announcement of invalid — inaccurate or unnecessary — updates. This paper presents AS-CRED, a reputation service for ASes which quantifies the level of trust one can have with respect to its announcing ...

In this paper, we investigate the role of young adult mortality on child labor and educational decisions. We show that, in the absence of appropriate insurance mechanisms, the level of child labor is inefficient. It may be too high if parents are not very altruistic and anticipate positive transfers from their children in the future, but it can also be too low, in particular when parents expect...

Abstract Globally, river flooding induced by heavy rainfall frequently causes fatalities every year (Jongman et al. 2015; CERD and UNISDR 2018; CRED 2019). Particularly, will increase in the future with climate warming (Liao
