In this paper, we present two novel hash-based indexing structures, based on Bloom filters, called breadth and depth Bloom filters, which in contrast to traditional hash based indexes, are able to represent hierarchical data and support path expression queries. We describe how these structures can be used for resource discovery in peer-to-peer networks. We have implemented both structures and o...

Disruption of grazer populations, or mismatches between phytoplankton blooms and population dynamics of their planktonic and benthic grazers, may play an important role in the initiation of some harmful algal blooms. The Laguna Madre of Texas has experienced a persistent, nearly monospecific phytoplankton bloom since January 1990 commonly referred to as the “brown tide.” Whole-water samples col...

Verde plant bugs, Creontiades signatus Distant (Hemiptera: Miridae), were released onto caged cotton, Cossypium hirsutum L., for a 1-wk period to characterize the effects of insect density and bloom period of infestation on cotton injury and yield in 2011 and 2012, Corpus Christi, TX. When plants were infested during early bloom (10-11 nodes above first white flower), a linear decline in fruit ...

Building upon the finding that people can assess the logicality of conjunctive probability statements intuitively (Vallee-Tourangeau & Faure-Bloom, 2015), we examine whether increasing the salience of people’s implicit knowledge about the logic of sets can impact the influence of logical considerations on probability judgments. We compared the rate of heuristic responding in a control group wit...

Ubiquitous sensing devices frequently disseminate their data between them. The use of a distributed event-based system that decouples publishers of subscribers arises as an ideal candidate to implement the dissemination process. In this paper, we present a network architecture which merges the network and overlay layers of typical structured event-based systems. Directional Random Walks (DRWs) ...

Although Blm and Top3α are known to form a minimal dissolvasome that can uniquely undo a double Holliday junction structure, the details of the mechanism remain unknown. It was originally suggested that Blm acts first to create a hemicatenane structure from branch migration of the junctions, followed by Top3α performing strand passage to decatenate the interlocking single strands. Recent eviden...

Data caching provides efficient data access by maintaining replicas of data in strategic parts of the network. However, current research in this area does not manage memory space of each node efficiently. We propose an improvement by considering Bloom filters, a fast, spaceefficient probabilistic method for looking up data. We compare the system the system performance with and without Bloom fil...

Lipid concentration and composition were measured in net-tow and sediment trap samples during the spring diatom bloom in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, to determine the quantity and quality of material settling from the upper mixed layer into the benthic food web. An experiment was also conducted to estimate trap accuracy and precision, in which trap poisoning was found to reduce bacterially med...

a r t i c l e i n f o Phytoplankton blooms, in their pivotal position in pelagic seasonal succession require precise classification criteria in order to evaluate such parameters as bloom start, bloom timing, bloom maximum and growth rates. Such bloom parameters are linked directly to species and bloom specific features. Currently the phytoplankton bloom concept, though intuitively clear, lacks ...

In this paper, we present two novel hash-based indexing structures, based on Bloom filters, called Breadth and Depth Bloom filters, which in contrast to traditional hash-based indexes, are able to summarize hierarchical data and support regular path expression queries. We describe how these structures can be used for resource discovery in peer-to-peer networks. We have implemented both structur...
