Distributed Maple is a system for writing parallel programs in the computer algebra system Maple. It allows to create concurrent tasks and to execute them by Maple kernels running on different machines of a network. The system consists of two components: 1. A Java class library which implements a general purpose communication and scheduling mechanism for distributed applications. 2. A binding t...

We investigate whether maple syrup is a suitable sweetener in the management of type 2 diabetes using the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat. The enhancement in plasma glucose (PG) and glucose absorption in the small intestine were lower after the oral administration of maple syrup than after sucrose administration in OLETF rats, and no significant differences were observed in insuli...

We have implemented a partial evaluator for Maple. One of the applications of this partial evaluator is to find, in Maple, what is the difference between generic or symbolic evaluation, and complete evaluation. More precisely, when asked degree(a*xˆ2+3,x), Maple replies 2, which is generically true. However, we are interested in the residual formula ¬(a = 0) which, as a guard, makes the answer ...

Temperate forest soils are often considered as an important sink for atmospheric carbon (C), thereby buffering anthropogenic CO2 emissions. However, the effect of tree species composition on magnitude this is unclear. We resampled a common garden experiment (six sites) decade after initial sampling to evaluate whether floor (FF) and topsoil organic (Corg) total nitrogen (Nt) stocks changed in d...

This study takes the mathematical software Maple as the auxiliary tool to evaluate some type of improper integrals. We can obtain the infinite series form of this type of improper integrals by using three important methods (i.e., differentiation with respect to a parameter, differentiation term by term, and integration term by term). In addition, we propose two improper integrals to do calculat...

We investigated how host plant phenology and plant species affected longevity, reproduction, and feeding behavior of an invasive weevil. Phyllobius oblongus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is common in northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes Region. Adults emerge in spring, feed on foliage of woody understory plants, and oviposit in the soil. Preliminary data indicate that adults often fee...

This paper uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to evaluate two types of integrals. We can obtain the closed forms of these two types of integrals by using Euler's formula, DeMoivre's formula, and finite geometric series. In addition, we provide two integrals to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manua...

This paper uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to study the differential problems of two types of functions. We can obtain the closed forms of any order derivatives of these two types of functions mainly using binomial theorem and Leibniz differential rule. In addition, we provide two examples to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study invo...
