We describe the expected usage of the Advanced Camera for Surveys during cycle 9 and estimate ground system requirements for the full complement of HST instruments available for cycle 9. Assuming parallel observing with all four of the cycle 9 instruments, we estimate a worst case average daily downlink of 16.5 Gbits/day (science bits excluding any overheads) if the ACS WFC images are not compr...

Day by day, computing is going to be more punctilious in size and functionalities, faster in communication, more effective and reliable in awareness, more flexible and user friendly in behaviour and very much constant in operation and interaction. Such a computer which fulfils all the above requirements is wearable computer, a computer that is subsumed in the personal space of the user. Though ...

The NeuroHub project aims to develop a research information system for neuroscientists at three different partner institutions: Oxford, Reading and Southampton. Each research group has different working practices, research methodologies and user requirements, which have lead to the development of a system that supports a wide variety of tasks in the neuroscience research life cycle. In this pap...

In this working paper we introduce a specialized requirements elicitation method regarding the specific needs of product development assistance. Although, there are several approaches targeting the modeling of application domains, describing and developing process structures or eliciting requirements, it is the people’s day-to-day needs one has to capture in order to derive suitable requirement...

There are many applications which arise in telecommunications information processing in which it is useful, and often necessary, to create and access multiple hypothetical states. These might correspond to future states reeecting pending updates (such as customer service orders), or hypothetical alternative states that would arise in the exploration of diierent solutions to a given problem. In ...

The relationship between energy intake and metabolic requirements of beavers {Castor canadensis) is discussed in regard to the spatial requirements of three colonies. A 26pound yearling beaver requires 850 kcal of digestible energy, or 1.5 lb of fresh aspen per day, to maintain its daily metabolic processes with no additional growth. In order for such a beaver to attain maximum growth, 2040 kca...

Holstein steers (164 kg) were used in a 70-d growing-finishing trial. Treatments were 1) basal diet (85% concentrate); 2) basal diet plus 1.5% blood meal (BM); 3) basal diet plus 3.0% BM and 4) basal diet plus 4.5% BM. Dietary crude protein levels were 12.5, 13.7, 14.8 and 15.9% for Treatments 1 through 4, respectively. Energy intake was restricted to allow for a daily weight gain of 1.43 kg. T...
