l. A new formula which correctly expresses the percentage contribution of increased heart rate to increased oxygen transport during activity is presented. 2. The percentage contribution is reported for the turtles Pseudemys scripta and Terrupene ornata at body temperatures of 1@-4O”C. 3. Corrected values for this parameter in reptiles studied at 30°C by other authors are also presented. SEVERAL...

This paper describes a system that supports the distributed development and deployment of Standard Operating Procedures. The system is based on popular, open-source wiki software for the SOP development, and the I-X task-centric agent framework for deployment. A preliminary evaluation using an SOP for virtual collaboration is described and shows the potential of the approach.

It is generally agreed that requiring employees to perform their tasks according to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can improve production outcomes in the context of repetitive manufacturing. Attempts to link SOP use to intrinsic motivation – a requirement for creativity – have, however, resulted in controversy. In this paper, we discuss the relationship between required SOP use and worker...

We present a new local optimizer called SOP-3-exchange for the sequential ordering problem that extends a local search for the traveling salesman problem to handle multiple constraints directly without increasing computational complexity. An algorithm that combines the SOP-3-exchange with an Ant Colony Optimization algorithm is described and we present experimental evidence that the resulting a...

The networking functionality of JavaScript is restricted by the Same Origin Policy (SOP). However, as the SOP applies on a document level, JavaScript still possesses certain functionality for cross domain communication. These capabilities can be employed by malicious JavaScript to gain access to intranet resources from the outside. In this paper we exemplify capabilities of such scripts. To pro...

To evaluate the long-term surgical outcomes of anterior transposition of the inferior oblique muscle (ATIO) in the treatment of vertical deviations resulting from superior oblique palsy (SOP). We retrospectively studied seven consecutive patients who had undergone ATIO for the treatment of SOP. A follow-up of at least five years after the operation was required to be included in the study. In r...

In this paper, a millimeter-wave pointto-point (PTP) Wireless Gigabit Ethernet Communication System is presented and the first been developed by TMR&D. A 60 GHz Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramics (LTCC) SystemOn-Package (SoP) Transceiver capable of gigabit data rate has been built and demonstrated with a size of 17.76 x 17.89 mm. A direct Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) modulation and demodulation ...

We propose a small-step operational semantics to support reasoning about web applications written in the multi-tier language Hop. The semantics covers both server side and client side computations, as well as their interactions, and includes creation of web services, distributed client-server communications, concurrent evaluation of service requests at server side, elaboration of HTML documents...

To evaluate the long-term surgical outcomes of inferior oblique muscle recession (IO Rec) for the treatment of superior oblique palsy (SOP). We retrospectively studied 18 consecutive patients who had undergone IO Rec for the treatment of SOP. A follow-up of at least five years after the operation was required to be included in the study. In results the preoperative vertical deviation was 10.6 ±...
