The task of representing a set so as to support membership queries is a common one in computer science. If space is no object, a complete dictionary may provide accurate QUERYing in good runtime. If space is at a premium and the size of the set uncertain, Bloom filters and hash compaction provide good approximations. If the size is completely unknown, a modified Bloom filter provides very good ...

BLOOM is a system for doing software understanding through visualization. Software understanding involves asking specific questions about the structure and behavior of a software system and getting accurate answers quickly. BLOOM addresses software understanding by providing a complete system that combines facilities for collecting and analyzing program data, a visual language for defining what...

An increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(Prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. Information on this subject is limited at the present time. In search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (GDD), ful...

Total organic carbon has a major influence on both the chemical and biological processesthat take place in sediments. Algal bloom is one of the organic carbon levels in aquatic ecosystems. In 2009 algal bloom occurred in the Hormozgan province and prolonged for months, which finally setteled down in 2010. In this study the variations of total organic carbon (TOC), organic matter (TOM) and tot...

Distributed joins have gained importance in the past decade, mainly due to the increased number of available data sources on the Internet. In this work we extend Bloomjoin, the state of the art algorithm for distributed joins, so that it minimizes the network usage for the query execution based on database statistics. We present 4 extensions of the algorithm, and construct a query optimizer for...

Although bacterioplankton and phytoplankton are generally perceived as closely linked in marine systems, specific interactions between discrete bacterioplankton and phytoplankton populations are largely unknown. However, measurements of bacterioplankton distributions during phytoplankton blooms may indicate specific microbial lineages that are responding to phytoplankton populations, and potent...

Organisms with sexual and asexual reproductive systems benefit from both types of reproduction. Sexual recombination generates new combinations of alleles, whereas clonality favours the spread of the fittest genotype through the entire population. Therefore, the rate of sexual vs. clonal reproduction has a major influence on the demography and genetic structure of natural populations. We addres...

ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted in three prune orchards in California. In each orchard, inoculations with Monilinia fructicola, the causal agent of brown rot of stone fruits, were performed on branches of trees at bloom and fruit developmental stages. Five inoculum concentrations were used in each inoculation. Six and four wetness durations were created for each inoculum concentration at bl...
