Sensor Web researchers are currently investigating middleware to aid in the dynamic discovery, integration and analysis of vast quantities of both high and low quality, but distributed and heterogeneous earth observation data. Key challenges being investigated include dynamic data integration and analysis, service discovery and semantic interoperability. However, few efforts deal with managing ...

Introduction The mycelium of woodland fungi can act both as a reservoir and as a distribution system for nutrients, owing to its physiological and developmental adaptations to life at the interface between organic and mineral soil horizons. The mobility of accumulated nitrogen and phosphorus within the mycelial networks of cord-forming wood decay fungi and ectomycorrhiza enables fungi to play k...

This work analyzes the behavior of evolution strategies and their current mutation variants on a simple rotating dynamic problem. The degree of rotation is a parameter for the involved dynamism which enables systematic examinations. As a result the complex covariance matrix adaptation proves to be superior with slow rotation but with increasing dynamism those adaptation mechanism seldom find th...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular analgesia is a pain reliever that is frequently administered following arthroscopic knee surgery. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of intra-articular application of morphine and tramadol on postoperative pain after arthroscopic knee surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS For this randomized double blinded clinical trial, 132 patients undergo...
