Eden is a parallel functional language extending Haskell with processes. This paper describes the implementation of an interface between the Eden language and the Maple system. The aim of this effort is to parallelize Maple programs by using Eden as coordination language. The idea is to leave in Maple the computational intensive functions of the (sequential) algorithm and to use Eden skeletons ...

Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) is seed predator that has the ability to affect the diversity and abundance of certain tree species in a forest. This study tested the seed preference of eastern chipmunks on the border of Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at University of Notre Environmental Research Center. Cafeteria style feeding trials were done in a laboratory to test the pref...

This paper examines what is required to use Aldor libraries to extend Maple in an effective and natural way. This represents a non-traditional approach to structuring computer algebra software: using an efficient, compiled language, designed for writing large complex mathematical libraries together with a top-level system based on userinterface priorities and ease of scripting. Our method invol...

Maple syrup is a natural sweetener consumed by individuals of all ages throughout the world. Maple syrup contains not only carbohydrates such as sucrose but also various components such as organic acids, amino acids, vitamins and phenolic compounds. Recent studies have shown that these phenolic compounds in maple syrup may possess various activities such as decreasing the blood glucose level an...

In this paper, we will investigate some of the algorithmic inadequacies and limitations of Maple as well as the common misuses of the software when used as a tool in teaching undergraduate mathematics. We will present examples for which Maple produces misleading or inaccurate results. We will also refer to situations where Maple gives accurate, but incomplete, results which are misused or misin...

JavaViewLib is a new Maple package combined with the JavaView visualization toolkit that adds new interactivity to Maple plots in both web pages and worksheets. It provides a superior viewing environment to enhance plots in Maple by adding several features to plots’ interactivity, such as mouse-controlled scaling, translation, rotation in 2d, 3d, and 4d, auto-view modes, animation, picking, mat...

Sugar maple and red maple are closely-related co-occurring tree species significant to the North American forest biome. Plant abiotic stress effects including nutritional imbalance and manganese (Mn) toxicity are well documented within this system, and are implicated in enhanced susceptibility to biotic stresses such as insect attack. Both tree species are known to overaccumulate foliar mangane...
