background: morphological changes of the cells infected with rubella virus cannot be observed easily. estimation of the size of the cultured cells can be a valuable parameter in this condition. this study was conducted to find answers to the following questions: how much time after infection with rubella virus, the volume and surface area of the vero cells and their nuclei get started to change...

Problem, research strategy, and findings Limiting housing infrastructure in flood-prone places has long been recognized as critical to managing long-term risk. However, due the difficulty of tracking development at small spatial scales, little empirical conducted explain differences between communities’ floodplain patterns. We analyzed new construction across 5 million parcels state North Carol...

Digitized species occurrence data provide an unprecedented source of information for ecologists and conservationists. Species distribution model (SDM) has become a popular method to utilise these data for understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of species, and for modelling biodiversity patterns. Our objective is to study the impact of noise in species occurrence data (namely sample...

We analyze the schema theorem and the building block hypothesis using a recently derived, exact schemata evolution equation. We derive a new schema theorem based on the concept of eeective tness showing that schemata of higher than average eeective tness receive an exponentially increasing number of trials over time. The building block hypothesis is a natural consequence in that the equation sh...

By the end of the decade, as VLSI integration levels continue to increase, building a multiprocessor system on a single chip will become feasible. In this paper, we propose to analyze the tradeoos involved in designing such a chip, and speciically address whether to allocate available chip area to larger caches or to large numbers of processors. Using the dimensions of the Alpha 21064 microproc...

Neighbourhood in many Nigerian cities had been designed without proper consideration of design principles, which invariably affect the residents’ quality of life. This s‌tudy assessed the experts' and residents’ perception of design correlates of neighbourhood quality in the urban area of Ibadan. Data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources. A ques‌tionnaire survey and direct obse...

The goal of our study was to develop an automatic change detection method based on laser scanner, aerial image and map data to be used in updating of building maps. The method was tested in a study area of 2.2 km near Helsinki. Buildings were first detected by segmenting a digital surface model (DSM) derived from laser scanner data and classifying the segments as buildings, trees and ground sur...

this study determined the clinical effect of subconjunctival administration of bevacizumab in patients with primary and recurrent pterygium. the study was an off-label, single-dosing, interventional case series involving 22 patients with primary and recurrent pterygium. they received subconjunctival bevacizumab (0.2cc). pterygium vascularity and thickness was graded. the size of the pterygium (...

This paper compares the implementation results of two architectures for virtual channel router. Since the router is used for building an on-chip network, its small size is critical. Together with the total design area we provide information about the distribution of this area between the main router blocks and thus give insight about the cost of each block. The comparison shows that one of the ...
