of the many climatic events that influence the earth’s environment, drought is perhaps the one that is most linked with desertification. drought is the consequence of a natural reduction in the amount of precipitation received over an extended period, usually a season or more in length. drought monitoring is an essential component of drought risk management. it is normally performed using vario...

monitoring the effective parameters of drying crops is necessary to evaluate and determine system performance under real conditions. hence, a monitoring system was constructed to determine the performance of a vegetation forced-convection solar dryer. digital temperature sensors were set up in the air inlet and outlet of the collector and the air outlet of the drying chamber. a program was writ...

methods for measuring toxicity or respiratory activity of microbial cultures can be used as tools for assessing the presence of chemicals and their impact on the streams. the proposed toxicity test is based on the respirometric characteristics of the bacteria according to the principals of biolog’s microplate system. as the microorganism are utilizing the carbon source (peptone), the reductio...

there are now several tests available that can assess fetal status. a series of 164 cases of high risk pregnancies were studied in order to assess predictive value of a nonstress test. the majority (36%) of patients complained about postdate pregnancy. a nonreactive test was identified in 24 of the patients (14.6%). fetal distress, low apgar score in 1 and 10 minutes after birth and mean of apg...

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Menschen nach akutem Koronarsyndrom weisen weiterhin ein hohes kardiovaskuläres Risiko auf. Eine pflegerische Intervention zur Verbesserung der Adhärenz von Betroffenen hinsichtlich empfohlenen Präventionsmaßnahmen ist erforderlich. In deren Entwicklung sollen alle an Versorgung beteiligten Personengruppen miteinbezogen werden, u. a. Gesundheitsexpertinnen und -exper...

In [1] wurden von pro et con bereits erste Ansätze der Migration von COBOL nach Java dargestellt. Nach dem erfolgreichen Abschluss des Projektes SOAMIG1 sollen in diesem Beitrag die Ergebnisse im Bereich der COBOLMigration vorgestellt werden. Neben einem Überblick über das entstandene Werkzeug CoJaC (COBOL to Java Converter) sollen dabei die Migration der Schnittstellen eines COBOL-Programms un...

Particularly, we consider a scenario of a patient monitoring device, where a patient has plenty of sensors mounted on its head to measure different parameters like EEG. Moreover, these sensors are connected with wires to a node, which collects all the measured data from these sensors and send wirelessly to another node situated at different location on a human body. Finally, this node is connec...

landslides are natural disasters that annually inflict great damages to public and private properties which may associate with loss of life. in recent decades, research on developing methods for predicting the time of landslide has been one of the significant attempts made by scientists. since in some type of material, landslides are preceded by undetectable movements that cannot be recorded an...
