in recent decades, canola has been considered as the most important oilseed. harvesting is the most major problem of canola cultivation, since canola pods are very sensitive to shocks and vibrations. large amount of produce will fall on the ground especially when the combine's head is not adjusted properly. when canola harvested with a combine, the losses may reach up to 50%. the yields can be ...

This paper presents results from experiments performed with the COMBINE Interworking Unit, showing that good TCP performance is possible with the shaper size dimensioned to 2000 cells. The shaper itself had been dimensioned using a Poissonian packet arrival model, assuming that the notorious burstiness of data traffic was a problem for higher layer congestion control. These results verify the v...

Standards for data exchange are critical to the development of any field. They enable researchers and practitioners to transport information reliably, to apply a variety of tools to their problems, and to reproduce scientific results. Over the past two decades, a range of standards have been developed to facilitate the exchange and reuse of information in the domain of representation and modeli...

The share of common data, and the requirement to find faster and reliable ways for data flow within industrial environments and manufacturer-customer relationships has during the last decade raised a set of proposals seeking methodologies and architectures towards a potential solution. Most of them were developed within the R&D community with the support of industrial companies, as it is the ca...

When the objective is to forecast a variable of interest but with many explanatory variables available, one could possibly improve the forecast by carefully integrating them. There are generally two directions one could proceed: combination of forecasts (CF) or combination of information (CI). CF combines forecasts generated from simple models each incorporating a part of the whole information ...

Antipsychotic monotherapy is strongly recommended in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, antipsychotic polypharmacy (APP) is common in clinical practice, and appears to be related to illness severity and duration, treatment-refractoriness, hospitalization status, duration of hospitalization, geographic region and age. Given the high number of different antipsychotic combinations reported i...

Ensuring reproducibility of simulation studies in computational biology poses a challenge to data management solutions. One specific problem is the organisation and linking of all files related to a simulation study at the storage level. Such a study comprises of a number of files, and additional links to third party resources. MaSyMoS is a graph-based approach to representing the links between...
