In this paper the differentiation of external morphology and ontogeny of Oribatulidae were investigated, on the basis of Phauloppia lucorum (C. L. Koch, 1841), Lucoppia burrowsi (Michael, 1890), and Oribatula tibialis (Nicolet, 1855), which ontogeny is described and illustrated here for the first time. The juveniles of these species have smooth cuticle, a clavate sensillus with barbed head, and...

In object-oriented systems, object associations generally result in a complex structure whose precise description is a crucial part of the sys-tem's formal speciication. A particularly common object association arises when one object exclusively controls (owns) another. As exclusive object control is an important aspect of safety and security critical systems, speciic notation to capture direct...

This paper specifies the formal semantics of XSLT. Using Object-Z specification language to describe each constructs of the language as objects, the stylesheet itself was specified by underlying objects. This work will contribute to the implementation of XSLT.

For a nite group G the commutativity degree denote by d(G) and dend:$$d(G) =frac{|{(x; y)|x, yin G,xy = yx}|}{|G|^2}.$$ In [2] authors found commutativity degree for some groups,in this paper we nd commutativity degree for a class of groups that have high nilpontencies.

Infection with Moniezia benedeni is sometimes found in confined cattle in Japan. Between October 2011 and January 2013, we monitored the fecal egg prevalence at a confined cattle farm in Miyazaki prefecture where continuous M. benedeni infection has been recognized for years to evaluate the possible infection routes. Fecal egg prevalence changed seasonally with the highest in October 2011 (27.3...

Recently we have reformulated the octonions as quasissociative algebras (quasialgebras) living in a symmetric monoidal category. In this note we provide further examples of quasialgebras, namely ones where the nonassociativity is induced by a Z Z n-grading and a nontrivial 3-cocycle.

With the addition of IBM System ze application assist processors (zAAPs) and integrated information processors (zIIPs) to the portfolio of special-purpose IBM System z processors, the reinvention of the IBM mainframe continues. Jointly, zAAPs and zIIPs provide significant IBM System z9e integrated and cost-effective processing cycles for today’s strategic Javae and DB2t for z/OSt programming pl...

This paper was originally presented to the 2005 Annual UK-CMG Conference in Warwickshire, UK. At that time, details on z/9 109 server and z/OS V1R7 were not available. That paper was accepted for presentation by the Computer Measurement Group at the 2005 CMG International Conference. The CMG Program Committee required that the final paper be submitted no later than September 16 . By that paper ...

One of the steps to reconstruct the 3-D geometry of biological objects from a stack of 2-D microscopic images, is to align the individual slices with respect to each other. Due to complex internal structures and imaging artifacts, automatic methods do not always lead to reliable results. Visual feedback consisting of sagittal and coronal cross-sections is very useful to validate the alignment r...
