The syntax and semantics of bare nominal expressions has been the subject of much research over the past few years. Two fundamental distinctions are generally assumed: bare nominals are generally restricted to plural and mass terms (unless they are proper names) and the "interesting" cases of bare nominals are those that appear in argument positions. We will call the first distinction the singu...

We describe the implementation and performance of a bare PC SIP server that runs without the support of an operating system (OS) or kernel. A bare PC SIP server provides immunity against OS vulnerabilities and yields performance gains due to the elimination of OS overhead. We discuss server design focusing on its novel architectural features and illustrate key implementation aspects by examinin...

evaporation from the soil surface has an important role in the water balance model in nature, so that the major part of rain fall and irrigation water in arid and semi-arid regions is lost via evaporation from the soil surface. in such areas, there are some regions with high water table and because of evaporation from the soil surface, salts accumulation also occur in the soil surface. so evapo...

cation exchange capacity (cec) is one of the main factors in monitoring and management of soil quality in order to achieve sustainable production. although cec can be measured directly, these measurements are difficult, time-consuming and costly, especially for aridisols. one alternative method is the use of pedotransfer functions (ptf), in which cec of soils is estimated through available soil...

Abstract. The development of a sustainable wood energy chain is an essential part ecological and transition in Reunion Island (Indian Ocean), where Acacia mearnsii the main potential resource identified to date. In order assess future biomass supply strategies, major first issue gain knowledge spatial distribution this species forest stands.In study, we assessed very high resolution multispectr...
