Side-shift and disk-steer implement guidance systems were tested for differences in performance during cultivation on fields with 0 and 5% side slope. Test speeds were slow (4.8 km/h, 3 mph) and medium (8.0 km/h, 5 mph). Test path shapes included a tractor ramp, implement ramp, sine and curve. Performance measures included tractor positional error, implement positional error, torque from side f...

Welcome to the second International Workshop on Management of SDN and NFV Systems (ManSDN/NFV 2015)! Following a successful event in 2014, we are pleased to organize the workshop this year also and provide a venue for discussions on SDN and NFV management issues. We hope that, with its high-quality technical program and its pleasant setting, the workshop will stimulate profitable interaction am...

Systems and networks include several inputs and outputs from which they are accessed. Access controls exist to manage authentication and access controls through those inputs and outputs. One of the significant problems in this scope is the difficulty to have a global consistent system or network level access control. Such global centralised access control is needed to make sure that access cont...

Higher-order pushdown systems generalize pushdown systems by using higher-order stacks, which are nested stacks of stacks. In this article, we consider parity games defined by higher-order pushdown systems and provide a k-Exptime algorithm to compute finite representations of positional winning strategies for both players for games defined by level-k higher-order pushdown automata. Our result i...

this paper presents a new audio encryption algorithm based on permutation and residue number system. in the current approach, signal samples are combined with residue number system through permutation; therefore, a specific noise is generated. then, the audio signal is combined with the noise, generated by the algorithm, to produce a silence signal. for this purpose, the algorithm uses a predef...

The authors compared the efficacy of a self-applied modified Semont maneuver (MSM) with self-treatment with a modified Epley procedure (MEP) in 70 patients with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. The response rate after 1 week, defined as absence of positional vertigo and torsional/upbeating nystagmus on positional testing, was 95% in the MEP group (n 37) vs 58% in the MSM gr...

The spatial information industry is currently moving from an era of digital dataset production to one of dataset maintenance. This is being facilitated by the widespread availability of technologies such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and high resolution imagery, which enable the rapid collection of large amounts of data with high positional accuracy. Typically, these new data ar...

In this paper, a new class of Hierarchical Residue Number Systems (HRNSs) is proposed, where the numbers are represented as a set of residues modulo factors of 2 ± 1 and modulo 2 . The converters between the proposed HRNS and the positional binary number system can be built as 2-level structures using efficient circuits designed for the RNS (2 − 1, 2, 2 +1). This approach allows using many smal...
