ARGUS is a multi-agent visitor identi cation system distributed over several workstations. Human faces are extracted from security camera images by a neuralnetwork-based face detector, and identi ed as frequent visitors by ARENA, a memory-based face recognition system. ARGUS then uses a messaging system to notify hosts that their guests have arrived. An interface agent enables users to submit f...

The Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, is distributed from Brazil throughout the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico to approximately North Carolina and Bermuda (Holthius, 1991). It supports major commercial fi sheries in Florida, the Caribbean and Brazil. Commercially, P. argus is especially important to the state of Florida, where the spiny lobster fi shery ranks second only to shrimp in ...

Statistical debugging is a powerful technique for identifying bugs that do not violate programming rules or program invariants. Previously known statistical debugging techniques are offline bug isolation (or localization) techniques. In these techniques, the program dumps data during its execution, which is used by offline statistical analysis to discover differences in passing and failing exec...

Palinurid lobsters are being exploited with increasing intensity in coral reef ecosystems, but marine protected areas may play a key role in preventing overfishing and local extinctions. In order to define the spatial requirements for protection, we compared the spatial and temporal patterns in distribution, density, biomass, size structure, and reproductive seasonality of Caribbean spiny lobst...

PURPOSE To present our experience of using an adjustable male sling, Argus® (Promedone SA; Cordoba, Argentina), in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and report its success, extension of indications, and management of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated Argus implantation results in 17 patients, including 15 post prostatectomy incontinence, one exst...

In 1956, the shallow-water grouper Cephalopholis argus was introduced from Moorea (French Polynesia), where grouper diversity (14 species) is high, to the Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI), where only 2 rare native deep-water groupers occur. In this non-native environment, the species has flourished and has become the dominant apex predator on many reefs. In the present study, a comparison of non-nat...

Abstract The endangered species Mongolian racerunner ( Eremias Argus ), with a limited distribution in South Korea, is found only sand dunes near waterside and forests. Therefore, trends this particular habitat are directly affected by contamination destruction. In study, we examined the effects of coastal dune restoration on population E. argus . We conducted field survey Baramarye special pro...
