A strong decline is apparent in annual District Average Rainfall (DAR) for District 71, located in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales (Fig. 1). There has been some concern that this decline of about 200 mm, i.e. about 20 per cent, since 1913 could be the result of human interference with the environment, and that a continuing decline in rainfall could threaten ecosystems and irrigation. The...

Many large-scale scientific applications need to aggregate large amounts of data from multiple distributed sites to a centralized facility. We call such a request as a Data-Aggregation Request (DAR). In this study, we investigate the novel problem of on-demand DAR provisioning over a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) backbone network. We provide a mathematical formulation for our problem a...

The Digital Assets Repository (DAR) is an Institutional Repository developed at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina to manage the full lifecycle of a digital asset: its creation and ingestion, its metadata management, storage and archival in addition to the necessary mechanisms for publishing and dissemination. DAR was designed with a focus on integrating DAR with different sources of digital objects a...

The Arabidopsis short integuments 2-1 (sin2-1) mutant produces ovules with short integuments due to early cessation of cell division in these structures. SIN2 was isolated and encodes a putative GTPase sharing features found in the novel DAR GTPase family. DAR proteins share a signature DAR motif and a unique arrangement of the four conserved GTPase G motifs. We found that DAR GTPases are prese...

One of the disadvantages of using OFDM is the larger peak to averaged power ratio (PAPR) of the time domain signal as compared with the conventional single carrier transmission method. The OFDM signal with larger PAPR will cause the undesirable spectrum regrowth and the larger degradation of bit error rate (BER) performance both due to the inter-modulation products occurring in the non-linear a...

In Escherichia coli, the replication origin oriC consists of two functional regions: the duplex unwinding element (DUE) and its flanking DnaA-assembly region (DAR). ATP-DnaA molecules multimerize on DAR, unwinding DUE for DnaB helicase loading. However, DUE-unwinding mechanisms and functional structures in DnaA-oriC complexes supporting those remain unclear. Here, using various in vitro reconst...

Considering the fact that many Muslims with diabetes prefer to fast in spite of inhibitory advises and to answer several conflicts and controversies regarding diabetes and Ramadan, IDF in collaboration with Diabetes and Ramadan (DAR) International in Alliance decided to develop a comprehensive guideline to be used by health care professionals. This guideline was then developed on April 2016 by ...

In our previous analysis of nucleon-nucleon (NN) elastic scattering data [1], the upper energy limit was extended from 2.5 to 3.0 GeV in the laboratory kinetic energy, Tp, in order to accomodate higher-energy proton-proton (pp) scattering measurements from SATURNE II at Saclay and the EDDA Collaboration at COSY. Comparisons were made with the direct amplitude reconstruction (DAR) and partial-wa...

Ein wichtiger Baustein des neu entdeckten World Wide Web – des ”Web 2.0“ – stellen Folksonomies dar. In diesen Systemen können Benutzer gemeinsam Ressourcen verwalten und mit Schlagwörtern versehen. Die dadurch entstehenden begrifflichen Strukturen stellen ein interessantes Forschungsfeld dar. Dieser Artikel untersucht Ansätze und Wege zur Entdeckung und Strukturierung von Nutzergruppen (”Commu...
