Computers and sensors are more and more often embedded into everyday objects, woven into garments, " painted " on architecture or deployed directly into the environment. They monitor the environment, process the information and extract knowledge that their designed and programmers hope will be interesting. As the number and variety of these sensors and their connections increase, so does the co...

strain A/i mouse following single i.p. administration of B[a]P,4 B[b]F, 5-MeC, CPP, DB[a,hJA, or pyrene. These are all environmen tally prevalent PAH displaying a range of carcinogenic potencies in a variety of test systems (5). The strain A/i mouse model was selected because of its rapid tumor response to a wide variety of chemical carcinogens (6), and because the target tissue for tumorigenes...

There are several approaches for intrusion detection but none of them is fully satisfactory. They generally generate too many false positives and the alerts are too elementary and not enough accurate to be directly managed by a security administrator. A promising approach is to develop a cooperation module to analyze alerts and to generate more global and synthetic alerts. This paper presents t...

This paper will investigate the influence environmen t delay has o n haptic systems. Work presented in [9] and [ll] demonstrated that it is possible to account for environment delay (even though it is a non-passive behavior) and still achieve a stability result based o n passivity concepts. The details were given fo r haptic systems with environments having impedance causali t y . This paper wi...

It highlights the importance collective efforts integration between stakeholders to achieve societal goals related decent work, economic growth, technological advancements. UAE serves as a prime example successful development advancements, with involvement leadership, ministr...

Marine biology is a hybrid subject that combines aspects of organismal function, ecological interaction and the study of marine biodiversity.[1] The earliest studies of marine biology can be traced back to the Phoenicians and the Greeks who are known as the initial explorers of the oceans and their composition.[2] However, it was Aristotle (384-322 BC) who was the first to record any observatio...

Marine organisms modify the distribution of radioisotopes in the oceanic ecosystem. Various vital processes of plants and animals concentrate elements. The distributions of the biota are often independent of their watery environment; they may actively migrate vertically or horizontally or may remain in place while the water moves past them. In the case of plankton, the concentrating organisms p...

The waste shell was utilized as a bioresource of calcium oxide (CaO) in catalyzing a transesterification to produce biodiesel (methyl ester). The economic and environmen-friendly catalysts were prepared by a calcination method at 700-1,000°C for 4 h. The heterogeneous catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the B...

In this paper we consider processing entity join queries in a wide area multidatabase environmen t where the query processing cost is dominated by the cost of data transmission An entity join oper ation integrates tuples representing the same en tities from di erent relations in which inconsistent data may exist The semijoin technique has been successfully used in a distributed database system ...
