We have observed, in a wide variety of circumstances, the difficulties posed by the need for temporary work storage in numerical algorithms. Practical implementations in such libraries as ACM’s Collected Algorithms (CALGO [1]) vary widely and frequently obscure the details of the algorithm itself. In this paper, we review typical practices and possible implementation solutions in various langua...

As delphinid populations become increasingly exposed to human activities we rely on our capacity to produce accurate abundance estimates upon which to base management decisions. This study applied mark-recapture methods following the Robust Design to estimate abundance, demographic parameters, and temporary emigration rates of an Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) population off...

Glocal News is a web app, a mashup of Google News and Google Maps, which attempts to visualize top local news, globally, in 70 languages. The news headlines, which are displayed on an infowindow, are provided by the public Google News RSS. The algorithm, built in JavaScript, uses geocoding in order to extract the toponym from a given location and the local storage technique in order to store th...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of either eugenol-containing or eugenol-free temporary cement removal by excavator or sandblasting on the shear bond strength of ceramic luted to dentin. METHODS A self-etching primer system, Panavia F 2.0, Kuraray Medical (PF2), and a total-etch bonding system, Excite/Variolink II, Vivadent (EXV), were used. One hundred and fort...

disaster-affected populations are highly vulnerable to outbreaks of measles. therefore, a mass vaccination against measles was conducted in aila cyclone-affected blocks of west bengal, india in july 2009. the objectives of the present report were to conduct an in depth analysis of the campaign, and to discuss the major challenges. a block level micro-plan, which included mapping of the villages...
