The recent establishment of cloud computing and its increasing importance for consumers have attracted new ways of service creation and provisioning over the internet. Research has dealt with the establishment of new cloud computing markets and new opportunities for collaboration in these emerging markets. We found that the necessary decisions are very much similar to decisions that have to be ...

Expansion of cattail, Typha domingensis , is perhaps the most conspicuous indicator of long-term degradation of the Florida Everglades. The spread of cattail in the Everglades has been tracked at a landscape scale through photointerpretation of aerial and satellite photography (Rutchey and Vilchek 1994, Jensen et al. 1995, Rutchey and Vilchek 1999 and Rutchey et al. 2008) and has provided an im...

Household Production, Full Consumption and the Costs of Children Recent work criticises both the logic and relevance of the theoretical basis of the approach to estimating the costs of raising children adopted in much of the economics literature. This tends to be restricted purely to models in which the household members consume market goods with given household income. The “costs of children” ...

IN EARLY 2003, 2 REBEL MOVEments (the Sudanese Liberation Army and the Justice and Equality Movement) launched an insurgency against the rule of Khartoum and the government of Sudan, and Janjaweed tribal militias have responded with decisive counteroffensives. Militia attacks have been blamed by refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) for indiscriminate killings, rape, abduction, cattl...

and even under grazing produces significant levels of viable seed that end up in the soil (Chapman and AnderWhite clover (Trifolium repens L.) populations persist for years in son, 1987; Charlton, 1977). grazing lands primarily through clonal growth, yet retain high genetic variability. This study was conducted to determine how clone structure In spite of the presence of viable white clover see...

The Face-to-Face Composition (FFC) Model is a modular, boundary-based description of an object. The Assembly AND/OR graph proposed by Homem de Mello and Sanderson for task planning is an efficient data structure showing all possible assembly sequences. It can be obtained directly from the FFC model by a sequence of component-merging operations.
