This paper first describes how to process SoC (State of Charge) streams made up of temporal and spatial stamps, altitude, SoC reading, velocity, and the like. Collected by a probe vehicle on the same road in Jeju city, Republic of Korea, multiple times, each stream has its own initial SoC and speed. The driving distance is calculated by adding up the line segment connecting two consecutive sens...

Half of the world's forest is in boreal and sub-boreal ecozones, containing large carbon stores and fluxes. Carbon lost from headwater streams in these forests is underestimated. We apply a simple stable carbon isotope idea for quantifying the CO2 loss from these small streams; it is based only on in-stream samples and integrates over a significant distance upstream. We demonstrate that convent...

introduction jet stream is strong narrow current concentrated by strong vertical and lateral wind shears (vasantha et al, 2002). according to world meteorological organization nomenclature, jet stream formed when the speed of wind greater than 60 knots or 30 m/s. the major characteristics of the troposphere and lower stratosphere in the vicinity of jet streams were pointed out by a group of met...

1. Terrestrial dispersal by aquatic insects increases population connectivity in some stream species by allowing individuals to move outside the structure of the stream network. In addition, individual survival and reproductive success (as well as dispersal) are tightly linked to the quality of the terrestrial habitat. 2. In historically forested catchments, deforestation and altered land use h...

Reservoirs are important components of modern aquatic ecosystems that have negative impacts on native aquatic biota both upand downstream. We used a landscape-scale geographic information system (GIS) approach to quantify the spatial effects of 19 large reservoirs on upstream prairie fish assemblages at 219 sites in Kansas, USA. We hypothesized that fish assemblage structure would vary with inc...

We present a model based on congestion pricing for resource control in wireless CDMA networks carrying traffic streams that have fixed-rate requirements, but can adapt their signal quality. Our model considers the resource usage constraint in the uplink of CDMA networks, and does not differentiate users based on their distance from the base station. We compare our model with other economic mode...

MilkyWay@home is a volunteer computing project that allows people from every country in the world to volunteer their otherwise idle processors to Milky Way research. Currently, more than 25,000 people (150,000 since November 9, 2007) contribute about half a PetaFLOPS of computing power to our project. We currently run two types of applications: one application fits the spatial density profile o...
