A new species of Phrixosoma from Tanzania is described and illustrated. This is a unique species for the genus in having a strongly concave female frons. Several characters are described for the first time for this genus, including male and female genitalia, mouthparts, thoracic sutures, and several overlooked features of the mesoand metatibiae and sternal processes.

Beginning with the Pronto4TM Strap-on Autonomy System — a retrofit kit that makes any existing vehicle with a steering wheel a drive-by-wire system — and including a flexible, shared variable software base running on an open architecture system, DesignJug is enhancing its technology by creating a new sensor platform with supporting software that provides input to the team’s Actively Refined Rea...

In this work we apply the techniques that were developed in [M.N. Lalín, An algebraic integration for Mahler measure, Duke Math. J. 138 (2007), in press] in order to study several examples of multivariable polynomials whose Mahler measure is expressed in terms of special values of the Riemann zeta function or Dirichlet L-series. The examples may be understood in terms of evaluations of regulato...

In this reply, we report results on using the Windows binary of the CVM on the checkers and other real-world data sets. Experimental results show that the CVM is much more stable than is reported in (Loosli and Canu, 2007). Moreover, the analysis of CVM’s stopping criterion in (Loosli and Canu, 2007) is based on some connections between the traditional ν-SVM and C-SVM using the 1-norm error. Ho...

This paper provides the conditions for a game with externalities to have a population monotonic allocation scheme (PMAS). We observe that the convexity defined by Hafalir (2007) does not guarantee the existence of a PMAS in the presence of externalities. We introduce a new convexity and show that while our convexity is not a stronger condition than Hafalir (2007)’s, it is a sufficient condition...

Abstract Starting from the first edition held in 2007, EVALITA is initiative for evaluation of Natural Language Processing tools Italian. We describe EVALITA4ELG project, whose main aim to systematically collect resources released as benchmarks this campaign, and make them easily accessible through European Grid platform. The collection moreover integrated with systems baselines a pool web serv...

for an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. in this article, we aimed management ecosystem by assessment of plant covers changes at taleghan township in a twenty year period. percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...
