Continuous processes offer more environmentally friendlier beer production compared to the batch production. However, continuous of mashing has not become state-of-the-art in brewing industry. The controllability and flexibility this process still hurdles for practical implementation, but which are necessary react changing raw materials. Once overcome, a can be efficiently adapted Both mean res...

We present a general purpose lossless greyscale image compression method TMW that is based on the use of linear predictors and implicit seg mentation In order to achieve competitive com pression the compression process is split into an analysis step and a coding step In the rst step a set of linear predictors and other parameters suitable for the image is calculated which is in cluded in the co...

The endogenous concentrations and the subcellular distribu tion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and 5-androstene3/3,170-diol (ADIOL) were measured in malignant and nonmalignant human breast tissue from both preand postmenopausal women. DHEA 3-sulfate was measured only in the cytosol. A greater tissue-plasma gradient of DHEA was present with large variations. The highest concentration of DHEA a...

From the security point of view, one challenge for today's distributed ar-chitectures is to support interoperation between applications relying on diierent possibly inconsistent security policies. This paper proposes a practical approach for dealing with the coexistence of diierent security policies in distributed architectures. We introduce a model for specifying security policies in terms of ...

Context. There are several empirical principles related to the distribution of faults in a software system (e.g. the Pareto principle) widely applied in practice and thoroughly studied in the software engineering research providing evidence in their favor. However, the knowledge of the underlying probability distribution of faults, that would enable a systematic approach and refinement of these...

Sequences of residence times (RTs) associated with the escape from metastable states are observed in many fields. Here we study analytically and numerically the correlations among RTs for a bistable stochastic system driven by dichotomous noise. Our theory predicts an oscillatory behavior of the correlations with respect to the lag between RTs. Correlations vanish at all lags if the switching r...
