Shared bu€er switches do not su€er from head of line blocking which is a common problem in simple input bu€ering. Shared bu€er switches have previously been studied under uniform and unbalanced trac patterns. However, due to the complexity of the model, it was not possible to fully explore the performance of such a switch, in the presence of a single hot spot. In this paper, we develop a new m...

BACKGROUND Pest eradication strategies that use pesticides require application methods that have the lowest environmental and human health impact while maintaining the highest probability of success. This is highly important when eradication takes place in sensitive areas, such as urban or riparian zones. A new aerial application method, the spot-gun, was developed to provide good pesticide cov...

Cell-based microarrays are being increasingly used as a tool for combinatorial and high throughput screening of cellular microenvironments. Analysis of microarrays requires several steps, including microarray imaging, identification of cell spots, quality control, and data exploration. While high content image analysis, cell counting, and cell pattern recognition methods are established, there ...

Multistage Interconnection Networks based on shared buuering are known to have better performance and buuer utilization than input or output buuered switches. Shared buuer switches do not suuer from head of line blocking which is a common problem in simple input buuering. Shared buuer switches have previously been studied under uniform and unbalanced traac patterns. However, due to the complexi...

The genus Caissa Hering, 1931 includes medium-sized limacodids with forewing lengths of 10–15 mm in males and 13– 15 mm in females. Members of this genus can be clearly determined by differences in wing pattern. Caissa have antemedial, postmedial and subterminal fasciae characteristic of an Apoda forewing pattern but there are significant deviations (Wu & Fang 2008; Solovyev & Witt 2009). Based...
