Given that pollinators usually visit flowers for hidden rewards, they need to rely on floral traits indicate reward status (“honest signals”). However, the relationship between pollination, honest signals, and rewards is little documented in natural conditions. The Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius) an invasive shrub with polymorphism color of its can be yellow, orange, or red. In three areas dom...

The non-uniformity is a time-dependent noise caused by the lack of sensor equalization. We present here the detailed algorithm and online demo of the non-uniformity correction method by midway infrared equalization. This method was designed to suit infrared images. Nevertheless, it can be applied to images produced for example by scanners, or by push-broom satellites. This single image method w...

In this paper, we examine algorithmic issues related to the delayed multicast technique [8] for Video-on-Demand delivery. We introduce the minimum total memory (MTM), minimum total traffic (MTT), and the minimum maximum memory per node (MMMN) delayed-multicast allocation problems. We provide polynomial time algorithms for solving the MTM and the MTT problems on the chandelier network and the MT...

The institution of sweeping the roads, streets and compounds of public buildings in most towns is a public nuisance for which the city fathers are responsible. The dust rises in the air and falls into the houses within its reach, especially into the rooms on the first floor. All such surfaces which harbour loose dust should be watered before they are swept. The floors should be mopped with wet ...
