With great advances in the mobile technology and wireless communications, users expect to be online anytime anywhere. However, due to the high cost of being online, applications are still implemented as partially connected to the server. In many data-intensive mobile client/server frameworks, it is a daunting task to archive and index such a mass volume of complex data that are continuously add...

The R-tree is a well-known bounding-volume hierarchy that is suitable for storing geometric data on secondary memory. Unfortunately, no good analysis of its query time exists. We describe a new algorithm to construct an R-tree for a set of planar objects that has provably good query complexity for point location queries and range queries with ranges of small width. For certain important special...

nowadays, agricultural r&d provides new and developed technologies to create modern agricultural producing methods. during recent years, improving agricultural productivity is affected by not only domestic r&d investments but also foreign countries r&d investments. nowadays, according to new growth models, r&d is the base of productivity. recent economic theories consider agricu...

toxicity of 38 aliphatic carboxylic acids was studied using non-linear quantitative structure-toxicityrelationship (qstr) models. the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used to construct thenonlinear qstr models in all stages of study. two anfis models were developed based upon differentsubsets of descriptors. the first one used log ow k and lumo e as inputs and had good predicti...
