Predicting runoff and erosion from watersheds burned by wildfires requires an understanding of the spatial structure of both hillslope and channel drainage networks. We investigate the small-scale and large-scale structures of drainage networks using field studies and computer analysis of 30-m digital elevation model. Topologic variables were derived from a composite 30-m DEM, which included 14...

In this paper, we describe and implement compiler extension for a parallel computer language called Associative Computing (ASC) language to support multiple instruction streams in a Multiple Associative Computing (MASC) model using manager-worker paradigm. A user directed MASC directive is used to enable concurrent executions of the THEN part and the ELSE part in a parallel IFTHEN-ELSE statemen...

This document describes a method to improve the bandwidth utilization of RTP streams over network paths that carry multiple Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) streams in parallel between two endpoints, as in voice trunking. The method combines standard protocols that provide compression, multiplexing, and tunneling over a network path for the purpose of reducing the bandwidth used when multiple...

Background In this article, we analyze one case instance of how proposals for change to the priority setting and resource allocation (PSRA) processes at a Canadian healthcare institution reached the decision agenda of the organization’s senior leadership. We adopt key concepts from an established policy studies framework – Kingdon’s multiple streams theory – to inform our analysis.   Methods Tw...

Streams, or infinite sequences, are infinite objects of a very simple type, yet they have a rich theory partly due to their ubiquity in mathematics and computer science. Stream differential equations are a coinductive method for specifying streams and stream operations, and their theory has been developed in many papers over the past two decades. In this paper we present a survey of the many re...

Data streams and their applications appear in several fields such as physics, finance, medicine, environmental science, etc. As sensor technology improves, sensor data rates continue to increase. Consequently, analyzing data streams becomes ever more challenging. Fast online response is a must for applications that involve multiple data streams, especially when the number of data streams is lar...

Video retrieval continues to be one of the most exciting research areas in the field of multimedia technology. With the advancement of sensing and tracking technologies it is possible to generate multiple personal video streams during events from different perspectives. This paper presents the first prototype of the MyView system that provides on-demand personalized video streams with multiple ...

In this paper, a novel method for analyzing time-series data and extracting time-correlations among multiple time-series data streams is described. The time-correlations tell us the relationships and dependencies among time-series data streams. Reusable time-correlation rules can be fed into various analysis tools, such as forecasting or simulation tools, for further analysis. Statistical techn...
