A D-Vac Calibration Technique1

A D-Vac Calibration Technique

Removal samples from an irrigated pasture were used as a calibration technique for the D-Vac. Plots 4 m2 were enclosed with a frame, and 1 initial and 3 removal samples were taken. Equations are given for computing the population and probability of collecting an insect. For leafhopper adults, leafhopper nymphs, Orius insidiosus (Say), and corn flea beetle, Chaetocnema pulicaria Melsheimer, cali...

A Stochastic Local Hot Spot Alerting Technique1

With the increasing levels of variability in the behavior of manufactured nano-scale devices and dramatic changes in the power density on a chip, timely identification of hot spots on a chip has become a challenging task. This paper addresses the questions of how and when to identify and issue a hot spot alert. There are important questions since temperature reports by thermal sensors may be er...

A 'Long Vac' in Community Service

Few people in this country have grasped the idea of school-leavers volunteering for social work to fill empty months before starting a career or university. Most, who have, seem to believe the young people involved are a race apart from those who spend weekends on Brighton beaches or taking drugs. To my mind, nothing could be further from the truth.
