The use of parallel/distributed programming increases as it enables high performance computing. However, to cover the expectations of high performance, a high degree of expertise is required. Fortunately, in general, every parallel application follows a particular programming scheme, such as Master/Worker, Pipeline, etc. By studying the bottlenecks of these schemes, the performance problems the...

1. Understanding the effects of individual and population factors on variation in breeding dispersal (the movement of individuals between successive breeding sites) is key to identifying the strategies behind breeders' movements. Dispersal is often influenced by multiple factors and these can be confounded with each other. We used 13 years of data on the locations, mates, breeding success and a...

This paper presents a dependency parsing system, presented as BASQUE TEAM at the SPMRL’2014 Shared Task, based on the combination of different clustering approaches. We create new features applying clustering methods to automatically annotated large corpora. Once these new features are calculated, we add them to the base features in order to create a series of analyzers using two freely availab...

Enantiomorphism in gastropods is related to the shell shape: high-spired snails present a higher proportion of enantiomorphs, low-spired it less frequent. This could be consequence way mate; mounting mating occurs species and independent chirality while mate face-to-face which implies certain degree genitalia adjustment for successful copulation. Cases sinistral Pyramidula have been reported Eu...

Nas regiões Centro-Oeste e Sul do Brasil, a cultura da erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis) constitui-se uma importante fonte de extrativismo florestal, além diversificar renda, principalmente na agricultura familiar. A erva-mate, como outras espécies florestais, é infectada por diversos patógenos, o gênero Fusarium, causador podridão-de-raízes. Os patógenos possuem ampla variabilidade genética, mes...

Women who rate their male partner as more masculine tend to prefer more masculine faces. However, it is unclear whether a preference for masculinity causes women to select masculine partners, or to perceive their current partner as more masculine. By incorporating multiple measures of male masculinity, we establish that women’s preference for facial masculinity in short-term partners is correla...

Core network capacity planning is the process of ensuring that sufficient bandwidth is provisioned such that the committed core network service-level agreements can be met. The best practices described in this paper collecting demand matrices, determining overprovisioning factors, and running simulations are the basis of the design principles for the Cisco TM MATE TM portfolio, especially (from...
