27 Twitty 1940; Nussbaum 1969). Our observations suggest that hyporheic zones might provide important and not previously recognized habitats for amphibians in intermittent headwater streams. Additional sampling is needed to better characterize hyporheic use by Dicamptodon and other stream amphibians such as the torrent salamanders (Rhyacotriton spp.). Better information notwithstanding, managem...

In this paper, we consider a networking scenario in which a group of nodes wants retrieve a function of data that are stored by another group of nodes. Here we assume that the function can be cast into a sum of functions of the local variables, a case that subsumes several interesting types of queries. One approach to solve this problem is to route the information from each node to the interest...

This paper presents JECho, a Java-based communication infrastructure for collaborative high performance applications. JECho implements a publish/subscribe communication paradigm, permitting distributed concurrent sets of components to provide interactive service to collaborating end users via event channels. JECho’s eager handler concept allows individual event subscribers to dynamically tailor...

This paper presents the detailed description of the Middleware for Application Interconnection in Personal Area Networks (MAIPAN), which is designed to ease distributed service development for mobile and nomadic environment. This middleware provides a uniform computing environment for distributed applications that operate in dynamically changing personal area networks (PANs). MAIPAN hides the p...

Low flows can impact water use and instream ecology. Therefore, reliable predictions of low-flow metrics are crucial. In this study, we assess which catchment characteristics (climate, topography, geology landcover) explain the spatial variability at two different scales: regional scale small headwater scale. For regional-scale analysis, calculated mean 7-day annual minimum flow (qmin), that is...
