Dispersal and gene flow can have both positive and negative effects on population size, but little empirical support from nature exists for the negative effects. We test for such effects in a stream population of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) that is subject to high gene flow from a lake and is thus maladapted to stream conditions. In this system, maladaptation increases wi...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the recovery potential of solid waste in mashhad. the solid waste generated in the regions 4, 5 and 6 has been quantified and characterized using direct weighing, physical testing and truckload sampling methods. to determine the quantity and quality of waste generated and its seasonal variations, chemical and physical analysis were carried out for on...

Indian cities are seen with predominantly mixed traffic plying on the streets. Modeling involving vehicles characterised of different speed, length, and width is a challenging issue. Based finer cell system cellular automata (CA) models, this paper proposes to evaluate behavior cars motorcycles for intermediate lane width, which more common in cities. The maximum car flow observed (even presenc...

Surface storage (pools, pockets, and stagnant areas caused by woody debris, bars etc) is very important to solute transport in streams as it attenuates the peak of a spill but releases the solute back to the stream over a long time. The latter results in long exposure time of biota. Pools as fundamental stream morphology unit are commonly found in streams with mixed bed materials in pool-riffle...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a popular method for wireless transmission of data at high rate. To increase the speed of transmission, the input high rate data stream is divided into many small data streams which are then transmitted parallel in OFDM system. The key component of OFDM system is the FFT processor. FFT converts the input time domain signal into frequency doma...

From 06.05. to 11.05.2007, the Dagstuhl Seminar 07191 Event Processing was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put...
