Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce H.R. 1367, the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Conservation Act of 2001. I am pleased to be here today to talk about such an important issue. We stand at an historic crossroads for the conservation of highly migratory species (HMS). The effective management of Atlantic HMS is one of the most complex and difficult challenges facing the Nationa...

A different usability design approach is needed for the emerging class of home infotainment appliances, collectively referred to as the home media station (HMS). Mass-media theory, consumer electronics engineering, content creation and content distribution play a major role towards the human-centered design of home media appliances. Different audience behavior factors, such as the attention spa...

An important current trend for the ACT-R community is to apply cognitive modelling to real world problems like HCI (Byrne 2001) or human machine interaction (Gluck 2002). Important developments of the architecture that are necessary to do so are PM for integration to the task environment and new ways of goal management. An area that still needs attention is timing for operating human-machine sy...

About the lead author (Dr Weiner): I am a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Children’s Hospital Boston (CHB)/Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the CHB representative and a chartermember of the HMS Section on Disaster Medicine. I have been a National Disaster Medical Systemmember on the Disaster Medical Assistance Team, the International Medical Surgical Response Team, and the Pediatric S...

Traditional techniques for balancing privacy and awareness in video media spaces have been proven to be ineffective for compromising home situations involving a media space. As such, we present the rationale and prototype design of a context-aware home media space (HMS)—defined as an always-on video media space used within a home setting— that focuses on identifying plausible solutions for bala...

Heavy metal contaminated water is a great concern because of its high toxiciy, non-biodegradability, and bioaccumulation. Therefore, non-contaminated fundamental for healthy life. Special attention paid to the health-promoting ingredients germinated whole cereal products. This study aimed (1) examine potentially harmful effects Cu, Mn, Zn on rat livers brains, (2) protective action wheat barley...

Introduction: Heavy metals (HMs) accumulated in the road dust may be transferred to the surrounding land and water bodies and pose ecological risks. Hence, such pollution should be considered, especially in coastal roads. This study focuses on the HMs pollution of dust settled on the surface of coastal roads along the Persian Gulf in Bandar Abbas city. Materials and Methods: In this study, ro...

This paper focuses on the dynamic re-configuration and task optimization of holonic manufacturing systems (HMS). The concept of dynamic virtual clustering is extended to the control process of a holarchy or holonic organization. A task-oriented clustering mechanism and a corresponding optimization algorithm are presented as an efficient approach to the holonic control in the HMS domain. The med...

Research on Holonic Manufacturing Systems (HMS) is undergoing a huge amount of interest and developments. In spite of the great amount of effort devoted to architectures and algorithms for holonic control of manufacturing systems there are little work about design methodologies. In this work we present a multi agent methodology for analysis and design of HMS, it is based on an abstract agent de...
