Grid, as the new generation Internet information infrastructure, presents a new solution for robot control. In this paper, we present our research on grid-based robot system which aims at organizing and integrating robot’s control capabilities to construct a RCG(Robot-Control-Grid), which can provide control ability for robot tasks. Not only single robot can be connected to the RCG, but also mu...

We determined whether plant diversity and sequence of plant ingestion affected foraging when cattle chose from plants that varied in concentrations of alkaloids, tannins and saponins. We hypothesized cattle that ate high-alkaloid grasses (endophyte-infected tall fescue (TF) or reed canarygrass (RCG)) would prefer forages high in tannins (birdsfoot trefoil, BFT+) or saponins (alfalfa, ALF+), bec...

This thesis focuses on two main areas: methods for assessing regional supply potentials of reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) (RCG); and process technology for the production of high-quality RCG pellets. Partial equilibrium modelling, incorporating a break-even price approach, was used to examine supply potentials for RCG in Västerbotten County, northern Sweden. A remote sensing method...

RÉSUMÉ. Cet article étudie la relation entre le formalisme TT-MCTAG et le formalisme RCG. RCG est connu pour décrire exactement la classe PTIME. TT-MCTAG a été proposé pour modéliser les langues à ordre des mots libre. Nous montrons comment une forme restreinte de TT-MCTAG peut être convertie en une RCG « simple » équivalente. Le résultat est intéressant pour des raisons théoriques (il montre q...

A new family of proximity graphs, called region counting graphs (RCG) is presented. The RCG for a finite set of points in the plane uses the notion of region counting distance introduced by Demaine et al. to characterize the proximity between two points p and q: the edge pq is in the RCG if and only if there is less than or exactly k vertices in a given geometric neighborhood defined by a regio...

The aim of the work was to analyze, on a comparative basis, the signaling pathways operating in the regulation of a panel of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) expressed by human dermal fibroblasts submitted to mechanical stress relaxation by cytochalasin D (CD) and in a retracting collagen gel (RCG). The mRNA steady-state level of MMPs was measured by a quantitative RT-PCR procedure using a synth...

Over the last years there has been an increased focus on the importance of knowing the effect of pre-analytical influence on the proteomes under study, particularly in the field of biomarker discovery. We present three proteomics studies examining the effect of blood contamination and the rostro-caudal gradient (RCG) on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteome, in addition to plasma/CSF protein r...

This paper investigates the relation between TT-MCTAG, a formalism used in computational linguistics, and RCG. RCGs are known to describe exactly the class PTIME; simple RCG even have been shown to be equivalent to linear context-free rewriting systems, i.e., to be mildly context-sensitive. TT-MCTAG has been proposed to model free word order languages. In general, it is NP-complete. In this pap...

This study focuses on the removal of phenol from aqueous media using Agouraï clay (Fes-Meknes-Morocco region) and Geulmima (Draa Tafilalet region). The characterization by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption (BET), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (DTA/GTA) indicates that it is mainly composed ...
