The revised Ada standard (ISO/IEC-8652:1995, commonly referred to as Ada 95) was released by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in February 1995. One of the unique features of this standard is that it is divided into a Core Language, which must be fully implemented, and several Specialized Needs Annexes, which provide standard definitions for additional features for particular appli...

This paper describes a framework for the risk assessment of combined exposure to multiple chemicals based on and developed subsequent to the World Health Organization/International Programme on Chemical Safety Workshop on Aggregate/Cumulative Risk Assessment (Combined Exposures to Multiple Chemicals) held in 2007. The framework is designed to aid risk assessors in identifying priorities for ris...

The paper proposes a methodology for modeling distributed real-time applications written in Ada 95 and its Annexes D and E. The real-time model obtained is analyzable with a set of tools that includes multiprocessor priority assignment and worst-case schedulability analysis for checking hard real-time requirements. This methodology models independently the platform (processors, communication ne...

Future technologies required nano-scale CMOS memory to be operating in low power consumption. The minimum operating voltage of the nano-scale CMOS played as a main factor to reduce the power consumption. Consequently, there are some limitations and obstacles to achieve the objective for several design, material and novel structural solutions, which are promising and reliable. In this research, ...

The external ant community of Hospital Municipal de Morrinhos, in Morrinhos, Goiás State, was characterized by the low rates of richness, diversity, dominance and equity of species abundance. Pheidole sp.1, a polygynic species was numerically dominant in this environment, although it coexists with potentially competitive species. This ant species prevailed within all hospital departments and it...

The 3G-324M is a derivative of the ITU-T H.324 standard which is for low bit rate multimedia communication. H.324 and several mobile specific annexes are usually referred to as H.324M (M stands for mobile). Then the 3GPP adopted the H.324M with some modifications in codecs and error handling requirements to create the 3G-324M standard. In order to support enhanced and delay sensitive video serv...
