At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

Working with large amounts of unstructured data (e.g., text documents) has become important for many business, engineering and scientific applications. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the practical Data Scientist can implement a Locality Sensitive Hashing system from start to finish in order to drastically reduce the time required to perform a similarity search in high dimensi...

Kripke Semantics Yanjing Wang (Amsterdam) In this paper, we give a schema of non-standard Kripke semantics for modal logic, in which the meaning of a modality in a formula depends on the evaluation process of that formula. More precisely, in our semantics schema, the truth condition for a sub-formula [] A of B depends on the path of worlds we passed in the evaluation of B and the position of []...

Hydrologically sensitive macroinvertebrate indices have been developed in Europe, the Americas and New Zealand to serve many purposes such as monitoring ecological responses drought, flow regulation, water extraction provision of environmental flows. We created an Australian Macroinvertebrate Flow Index (AMFI) based on relative current-velocity preferences numerous invertebrate families genera,...

We consider the problem of similarity search within a set of top-k lists under the Kendall’s Tau distance function. This distance describes how related two rankings are in terms of concordantly and discordantly ordered items. As top-k lists are usually very short compared to the global domain of possible items to be ranked, creating an inverted index to look up overlapping lists is possible but...
