Abstract In the small county in Northern Ostrobothnia, Finland, on a forest island amid fields, few metal objects were found by detectorists. The finds suggested Iron Age dates and generated great interest, for both local people researchers. As result, an examination of find locations was conducted archaeologists, which followed excavations at one sites. this article, under scrutiny is interest...

The distinguishing feature of a metasystem is middleware that facilitates viewing a collection of large, distributed, heterogeneous resources as a single virtual machine, where each user of the metasystem is identified by a unique metasystem-level identity. The physical resources of the metasystem can exist in multiple administrative domains, each with different local security requirements and ...

In Uaxactún, a community forest concession inside Guatemala's Maya Biosphere Reserve, three species of xate palm, a non-timber forest product, are at the heart of quickly evolving webs of knowledge, identity, institutional alliances, and livelihoods. Xate palms are simultaneously the "daily beans" for the majority of Uaxactún residents, the object of intense study and regulation, a commodity ma...

The existence of brownfields in cities, and their common disadvantages, such as pollution and their detriment to natural habitats, have damaged local communities and their environment over time. Whereas the renovation and regeneration of these brownfields and transforming them into centers of activity could assist the economy and society to flourish. At the same time improving the quality of th...

Five models by homology containing insertions and deletions and ranging from 33% to 48% sequence identity to the known homologue, and one high sequence identity (85%) model were built for the CASP2 meeting. For all five low identity targets: (i) our starting models were improved by the Internal Coordinate Mechanics (ICM) energy optimization, (ii) the refined models were consistently better than...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The city is not just about appearance. People are present and live with architectural and urban spaces. The changes of Bojnord city after becoming the provincial capital have had many and sometimes destructive effects on the city. The issue of bad identity of cities is not a new one, but how to deal with it, despite the history of the problem, is stil...

Problems in local ambiguities in handwritten mathematical expressions are often resolved at the global level. For a well performing recognizer, multiple local hypotheses should be kept as long as possible until the ambiguities are resolved by a global analysis. We propose a layered search framework for handwritten mathematical expression (ME) recognition. From given handwritten input strokes, M...
