a study of substantial anthropogenic related pollution in the coastal samut prakarn province (thailand) was carried out focusing on the bang pu nature reserve (remnant mangrove wetland) using a remote sensing (geospatial) technique. statistical regression models were developed between biochemical parameters of sample point and related reflectance data obtained from satellite imagery (landsat...

The process that creates stereo images typically takes from 1.5 to 2 times longer than the algorithm for mono images. This paper presents a fast image-based algorithm for computing stereo images, that needs a little more time than the algorithm for mono images. The presented algorithm uses a single image with depth information (e.g. z-buffer) as an input and produces two images for left and rig...

the large complex scenes is presented in this paper. The local Z-buffering originates from the depth complexity based scene decomposition and following multistage rendering. In a naïve local Z-buffering, a large complex scene is decomposed into a low depth complexity scene and high depth complexity scene by computing a partition plane in the view space; the low and high depth complexity scenes ...

(La,Sr)MnO3 (LSMO) nanolayers with various crystallographic textures were grown on the sapphire substrate with and without In2O3 epitaxial buffering. The LSMO nanolayer with In2O3 epitaxial buffering has a (110) preferred orientation. However, the nanolayer without buffering shows a highly (100)-oriented texture. Detailed microstructure analyses show that the LSMO nanolayer with In2O3 epitaxial...

One of the most challenging aspects to designing a Java messaging system for HPC is the intermediate buffering layer. The lower and higher levels of the messaging software use this buffering layer to write and read messages. The Java New I/O package adds the concept of direct buffers, which—coupled with a memory management algorithm—opens the possibility of efficiently implementing this bufferi...

One of the most important items for better file system performance is efficient buffering of disk blocks in main memory. Efficient buffering helps to reduce the widespeed gap between main memory and hard disks. In this buffering system, the block replacement policy is one of the most important design decisions that determines which disk block should be replaced when the buffer is full. To o...

Database buffering normally assumes that a proper measure of performance is the number of pages transferred. This paper justifies that the number of I/O’s is the proper unit of measure. From this we derive a buffering policy that improves over known buffering policies for nested loop joins, we derive some buffering policies for hashing joins, and we make an observation about selections and quer...

The paradigm of “buffering” is applied to multiple phenomena of diverse nature. Similarly, a great variety of units for the quantitation of buffering action has been proposed. Fundamental aspects regarding the definition and quantitation of “buffering” remain unclear or unresolved. i) Is there a single common principle behind these diverse buffering phenomena? Or is “buffer” an equivocal label ...
