There is increased interest in recent literature on the disfluency effect an effort to contextualize outcomes for typography research that grounded functional readability. Recently, a small group of typographic and legibility researchers have begun call more collaboration generate knowledge useful practical ( Thiessen, Beier & Keage, 2020). This article presents practice-led design project ...

Since relatively little is known about the effects of acid precipitation on growth and productivity of crop plants, a crop survey was initiated to study effects of H 2SO 4 rain simulants on growth, yield, and quality of selected crops which were chosen to represent diverse taxo nomic groups and crop products. Yield responses of 28 crop cultivars were examined. Plants were grown in pots in field...

The goal of this study was to accurately evaluate the lateral sealing ability a fault in siliciclastic stratum based on previous analysis faults by large number scholars published literature and physical simulation experiments. Content clay mineral phase diagenetic degree rock were investigated as main factors faults. Based theory, configuration relationship between content burial depth (SGR&am...

The QoS management for distributed interactive multimedia applications is currently mostly based on centralized approaches in which a single group server manages the QoS requirements for all participants. Group servers are simplier to handle, but they may become a weak point of the system due to server failures or performance bottlenecks. In order to avoid these problems and to better support t...

The foHowing communications owe their creation to the friendly courtesy of Dr. A. G. Nicholls, who let me have the freshwater material, collected during a lengthy stay in Tasmania, for the zoogeographical evaluation. Here, too, Dr. A. Komzak should be thanked most cordially for the translation into English. Since the evaluation of the various animal groups necessarily takes a rather long time a...

The modification of the raw clay by the potter to produce a paste suitable for the intended purposes adds a layer of obfuscation to the problem of provenancing the original clay source by chemical fingerprinting. By preparing different pastes from the same commercially available raw clay and their chemical analysis by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, an experiment under controlled cond...

When the organic anion transporter Oat1 was first identified as NKT (Lopez-Nieto CE, You G, Bush KT, Barros EJ, Beier DR, Nigam SK. J Biol Chem 272: 6471-6478, 1997), it was argued that it, together with Oct1, may be part of a larger subfamily (now known as SLC22) involved in organic ion and xenobiotic transport. The least studied among SLC22 transporters are the so-called unknown substrate tra...

Belief propagation (BP) is a message-passing heuristic for statistical inference in graphical models such as Bayesian networks and Markov random fields. BP is used to compute marginal distributions or maximum likelihood assignments and has applications in many areas, including machine learning, image processing, and computer vision. However, the theoretical understanding of the performance of B...

When developing plans to protect populations of species at risk, we tend to focus on protecting and preserving habitat where the species naturally occurs. Ecologists employ historic sightings of individuals, habitat suitability index (HSI) models, and the expert advice of local naturalists familiar with the environments desired and required. In many cases, the optimal habitats are fragmented to...
