A general overview of the problem of automatically generating aesthetically pleasing drawings of graphs is presented. Requirements particular to diagrams in Rational Rose is discussed. The Sugiyama layout algorithm and the Spring Embedder algorithm together with a number of proposed modifications and improvements to these algorithms are discussed. Examples of drawings generated by these algorit...

A retrieval of aerosol optical depth is performed utilizing six spectral values of of ultraviolet radiation data obtained during a field experiment from 12−14 Feb. 2001 to the Storm Peak Laboratory (SPL.) Data was collected by the USDA UV−B multifilter rotating shadowband radiometer (MFRSR) on top of Mt. Werner over a period of ten hours (1400−0000 UTC) and is publicly available at the USDA UV−...

Abstract. Pore pressure is crucial in triggering debris slides and flows. Here we present measurements of groundwater pore temperature recorded by a piezometer 1.6 m below the surface on slope susceptible to flows western Norway. One largest oscillations data collected over 4 years coincided with flow event that occurred during storm Hilde 15–16 November 2013. More than 100 landslides were regi...

This young man presented initially and repeatedly over a period of twenty years with symptoms of irritability, depressed and withdrawn mood, impulsivity, out-of-control behavior, and suicidal ideation and behavior. These symptoms occurred with disabling intensity at ages 3 year, 6 1/2 years, and 8 1/2 years, when he had not yet been adequately diagnosed and treated with appropriate psychopharma...

An attempt has been made to study the influence of geomagnetic storm on the tropospheric acoustic gravity waves at equatorial station, Tirunelveli (8.7°N, 77.8°E), India. The daily average of the amplitude and phase of acoustic gravity waves has been studied for the period 2000-2004. Severe geomagnetic storms occurred during April and September 2000, April 2001, October and November 2003 and No...

Live demonstrations of cutting-edge systems were an important and exciting part of the UML2004 conference. The tool exhibits session provided an excellent opportunity where participants analysed and viewed relevant UML and MDA related tools in action and discussed these systems with their creators or distributors. The tool exhibits session took place during the main conference, from October 13 ...

Operators have spent $84 billion Canadian dollars in exploration, development, and production offshore Newfoundland, Canada, between 1966 2019, produced about 2 barrels of an estimated 3.3 recoverable oil. Four major projects been developed—Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose/North Amethyst, Hebron—using two development concepts, gravity-base structures floating storage offloading vessels. The reg...

Distributed system configuration is a complex process, since it involves solving interrelated issues, corresponding to different configuration stages usually supported by automated or semiautomated independent tools. A common model for distributed system representation in all configuration stages enables the identification of unclear application specific dependencies between discrete stages. It...
