An Internet based Distributed Control System (DCS) is presented in this paper for monitoring real time data using ordinary web browser. Each DCS will be connected to the central server which will be the system web server. The proposed system is based on the three-tier client-server model. The application server is written in C#.Net. SQL database server 2005 is used for all the DCSs local databa...

Implementation of Xpert MTB/RIF requires quality assessment. A pilot program using dried culture spots (DCSs) of inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis is described. Of 274 DCS results received, 2.19% generated errors; the remainder yielded 100% correct Mycobacterium tuberculosis detection. The probe A cycle threshold (C(T)) variability of three DCS batches was ≤ 3.47. The study of longer-term ...

Differential, integral, and momentum transfer cross sections have been determined for the elastic scattering of electrons from the molecules CF3Cl, CF2Cl2, and CFCl3.With the help of a crossed electron beam-molecular beam apparatus using the relative flow technique, the ratios of the elastic differential cross sections (DCSs) of CF3Cl, CF2Cl2, and CFCl3 to those of He were measured in the energ...

A distributed computing system behaves like a complex network, the interactions between nodes being essential information exchanges and migrations of jobs or services to execute. These actions are performed by software agents, which behave like the members of social networks, cooperating and competing to obtain knowledge and services. The load balancing consists in distributing the load evenly ...

BackgroundType 2 diabetes affects Indigenous and non-European populations disproportionately, including in New Zealand, where long-term temporal trends cause-specific clinical outcomes between M?ori, Pacific, European people remain unclear. We aimed to compare the rates of mortality hospital admission patients with type Auckland, over a period 24 years.MethodsIn this retrospective, population-b...

The reactions of ground state Cl((2)P(3/2)) atoms with neopentane and tetramethylsilane have been studied at collision energies of 7.9+/-2.0 and 8.2+/-2.0 kcal mol(-1), respectively. The nascent HCl(v=0,J) products were probed using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy combined with velocity map imaging (VMI) to determine the rotational level population distributions, differen...

Scientific programmers are eager to take advantage of the computational power offered by Distributed Computing Systems (DCSs), but axe generally reluctant to undertake the porting of their application programs onto such machines. The DCS commercially available today are indeed widely believed to be difficult to use, which should not be a surprise since they axe traditionally prqgrammed with sof...

Power consumed by modern computer systems, particularly servers in data centers has almost reached an unacceptable level. However, their energy consumption is often not justifiable when their utilization is considered; that is, they tend to consume more energy than needed for their computing related jobs. Task scheduling in distributed computing systems (DCSs) can play a crucial role in increas...

ISO TC 37 is creating a Data Category Registry (DCR) as an online open-source RDF-based resource for use by implementers of electronic language resources, including terminologies, presentational and non-presentational lexical resources, NLP lexica, etc. The DCR will allow dynamic generation of data category selections (DCSs), e.g., subsets of the collection reflecting various thematic domains a...
