Composition of time and space in a unified data framework results into spatio-temporal databases. Spatiotemporal Database Management Systems (STDBMS) are able to process, manage and analyze spatiotemporal data. Spatial TAU 1 (STAU), developed in [Pel02], provides spatio-temporal functionality to Oracle10g Object-Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS). Although STAU is designed in a way ...

The California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) is widely distributed throughout California. It causes serious damage to agricultural crops. Tests were conducted to evaluate the fumigant aluminum phosphide (Phostoxin®) and to compare it to the commonly used gas cartridge. Treatments consisted of applying either a single-dose (two 3-gm tablets) or double-dose (four 3-gm tablets) of alumin...

Polypropylene (PP) melt-blown (MB) filter cartridges are widely used in many fields requiring water purification, such as households, the food industry, industrial processes, and recycled filtration. While demand for filters has gradually increased, environmental requirements conditions have become severe. The easily deformed from higher liquid pressure during operation setup need to be replace...

DNA analysis has been widely accepted as providing valuable evidence concerning the identity of the source of biological traces. Our work has showed that DNA samples can survive on cartridges even after firing. The study also raised the possibility of determining other information such as the age of the donor. Such information may be invaluable in certain cases where spent cartridges from autom...

Document Image Understanding encompasses the technology required to make paper documents equivalent to other computer exchange media like oppies, tapes, and cdroms. The physical reader of the paper document is the scanner just like the physical reader of the oppy is the oppy drive and the physical reader of the tape cartridge is the tape cartridge drive, and the physical reader of the cdrom is ...

the aim to achieve in this study is to recover the cr(iii) and process waters used in thewastewaters of chrome tanning operation by membrane process during leather production. in the treatmentalternative contains, cartridge filter, nanofiltration (nf(np10)), nanofiltration nf(xn45) and reverse osmosisro(acm2) membranes. the raw chrome wastewater from the cartridge filter was given to nf(np10)me...

A rapid assay procedure was developed for mycotoxin citrinin in corn using liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) cartridges. Ground corn was extracted with methylene chloride and 0.5 N phosphoric acid. The extract was added to an LLE cartridge containing a diatomaceous-earth adsorbant, previously impregnated with sodium bicarbonate solution. After aspiration to dryness, the cartridge was eluted with m...

In this chapter we discuss the latest developments in the field of high-pressure freezing (HPF). The Leica HPF machine EM HPM100 is discussed in detail due to significant changes compared to its predecessor model. Its centerpiece is a multipart polymer cartridge which holds the specimen carrier sandwich and guides it automatically through the freezing process until immersed in liquid nitrogen. ...
