The PMLS parallelizing compiler for Standard ML is based upon the automatic instantiation of algorithmic skeletons at sites of higher order function (HOF) use. Rather than mechanically replacing HOFs with skeletons, which in general leads to poor parallel performance, PMLS seeks to predict run-time parallel behaviour to optimise skeleton use. Static extraction of analytic cost models from progr...

One approach to the recognition of complex human activities is to use feature descriptors that encode visual interactions by describing properties of local visual features with respect to trajectories of tracked objects. We explore an example of such an approach in which dense tracklets are described relative to multiple reference trajectories, providing a rich representation of complex interac...

Hiermee wordt tevens duidelijk welk gewicht lidstaten toe moeten kennen aan Brussel II-bis-verordening.

Organic farming (OF) has been believed to be capable of curtailing some hazardous effects associated with chemical farming (CF). However, debates also exist on whether OF can feed a world with increasing human population. We hypothesized that some improvements on OF may produce adequate crops and reduce environmental pollutions from CF. This paper makes comparative analysis of crop yield, soil ...

Users in the Beyond-Third-Generation (B3G) wireless system expect to receive ubiquitous communication services with customised quality-of-service (QoS) commitments for different applications, preferably in away as transparent as possible. Ideally, flows belonging to diverse applications can be automatically and optimally distributed (or handed off) among the most appropriate access networks for...

Azalomycin F (AMF), a macrocyclic lactone antibiotic, in concentrations of 10(-5) g/ml (10(-6) - 10(-5) mol/l) was found to stimulate both the 45Ca2+ influx and efflux in intact Trichoderma viride submerged mycelium and in cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae without having Ca2+ ionophoric properties. AMF also inhibited ATP-dependent Ca2+ uptake in membrane fractions prepared from T. viride submer...

A busca por procedimentos estéticos tem aumentado devido a diversos fatores na sociedade moderna, levando as pessoas buscarem melhorias meio de não invasivos, como harmonização orofacial (HOF) realizada cirurgiões-dentistas (CD). O Ácido Hialurônico (AH) é considerado um dos melhores preenchedores atualmente, uma vez que substância naturalmente presente pele humana, embora sua quantidade diminu...
