introduction phosphorus (p) is an essential element in crop nutrition, which can be growth limiting or an environmental contaminant, if present in excess. on the other hand, tillage practices have a direct effect on behavior and availability of soil p. since, application of different tillage methods lead to different patterns of soil phosphorus distribution, hence p fertilizer needs and p avail...

We consider the problem of maximizing the timeto-first-failure, defined as the time till the first node in the network runs out of battery energy, in energy constrained broadcast wireless networks. We discuss a greedy algorithm and prove that it solves the problem optimally for a broadcast application, in polynomial time, provided the complete power matrix and the battery residual capacities ar...

Due to the use of antimicrobials in livestock production, residual antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) could enter the environment following the land application of animal wastes and could further contaminate surface and groundwater. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various manure land application methods on the fate and transport of antimicrobials...

Surface applied liquid dairy manure application (i.e., broadcasting) after alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) harvest is a common practice. Low disturbance incorporation (LDMI) may offer multiple benefits including lower ammonia (NH3), greenhouse gas (GHG) and hydrologic nutrient losses compared to broadcast. However, few studies have simultaneously quantified LDMI impacts on yield, NH3 fluxes. We me...

In this paper, the application of LVCSR (Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition) technology is investigated for real-time, resource-limited broadcast close captioning. The work focuses on transcribing live broadcast conversation speech to make such programs accessible to deaf viewers. Due to computational limitations, real time factor (RTF) and memory requirements are kept low during de...

Data broadcast is an excellent method for efficient data dissemination in the mobile computing environment. The application domain of data broadcast will be widely expanded in the near future, where the client is expected to perform complex queries or transactions on the broadcast data. To reduce the access latency for processing the complex query, it is beneficial to place the data accessed in...

The Broadcast Language is a programming formalism devised by Holland in 1975, which aims at improving the efficiency of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) during long-term evolution. The key mechanism of the Broadcast Language is to allow GAs to employ an adaptable problem representation. Fixed problem encoding is commonly used by GAs but may limit their performance in particular cases. This paper descri...

This paper deals with simulation of the broadcast authentication protocols using Colored Petri Nets and further optimizations in Matlab environment. Typical application of broadcast authentication protocols can be configurations where only one transmitter with multiple recipients exists (such as message exchange in sensor networks routing protocols, or the leader election process in sensors net...

Ammonia and odor emissions from land application of dairy manure, and costs associated with manure land application methods are serious concerns for dairy owners, regulators, and the general public. Odor and ammonia samples from agricultural fields receiving liquid dairy manure applied by surface broadcast and subsurface injection were collected and analyzed. Costs associated with both of the m...

Most news organizations provide immediate access to topical news broadcasts through RSS streams or podcasts. Until recently, applications have not permitted a user to perform content based search within a longer spoken broadcast to find the segment that might interest them. Recent progress in both automatic speech recognition (ASR) and natural language processing (NLP) has produced robust tools...
