Increasing performances by decreasing data transfer times is one of the main challenges of Grid Computing. In order to achieve such a goal, we propose in this paper a data persistency management service for the ASP (Application Service Provider) DIET metacomputing environment. Instead of multiple transmissions of the same data from a client to a server, data persistency allows to keep data insi...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are effective biological control agents against underground and cryptic pests. Persistency survival of EPN in soil after application is important for long term success management programs. In this study, it was aimed to determine the persistency 4 native species surface spraying injection applications a peach orchard. S. feltiae (96), carpocapsae 1133, H. bacter...

The suffix tree has proven to be an invaluable indexing data structure, which is widely used as a building block in many applications. We study the problem of making a suffix tree persistent. Specifically, consider a streamed text T where characters are appended to the beginning of the text. The suffix tree is updated for each character appended. We wish to allow access to any previous version ...

To realize real-time information sharing in generic platforms, it is especially important to support dynamic message structure changes. For the case of IDL, it is necessary to rewrite applications to change data sample structures. In this paper, we propose a dynamic reconfiguration scheme of data sample structures for DDS. Instead of using IDL, which is the static data sample structure model of...

We investigated the effect of stage of pregnancy on estimates of breeding values for milk yield and milk persistency in Gyr and Holstein dairy cattle in Brazil. Test-day milk yield records were analyzed using random regression models with or without the effect of pregnancy. Models were compared using residual variances, heritabilities, rank correlations of estimated breeding values of bul...
