For 2 grazing seasons, effects of pasture size, stream access, and off-stream water on cow distribution relative to a stream were evaluated in six 12.1-ha cool-season grass pastures. Two pasture sizes (small [4.0 ha] and large [12.1 ha]) with 3 management treatments (unrestricted stream access without off-stream water [U], unrestricted stream access with off-stream water [UW], and stream access...

Applications that combine live data streams with embedded, parallel, and distributed processing are becoming more commonplace. WaveScript is a domain-specific language that brings high-level, type-safe, garbage-collected programming to these domains. This is made possible by three primary implementation techniques, each of which leverages characteristics of the streaming domain. First, WaveScri...

Abstract Aim Children who had the central venous lines inserted for prolonged vascular access usually experience catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI). CRBSI is known to be associated with high morbidity which increases cost of healthcare and chances mortality. Clinical evidence suggests that use biopatch (chlorhexidine-impregnated dressing) effective in reducing rate lines. The aim o...

We present high time resolution VLT spectroscopy of SDSS J124058.03−015919.2, a new helium-transferring binary star identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We measure an orbital period of 37.355± 0.002 minutes, confirming the AM CVn nature of the system. From the velocity amplitudes of the accretor and the accretion stream– disc impact, we derive a mass ratio q = 0.039± 0.010. Our spectral ...

In AE Aqr, magnetic elds transfer energy and angular momentum from a rapidly spinning white dwarf to material in the gas stream from the companion star, with the eeect of spinning down the white dwarf while inging the gas stream material out of the binary system. This magnetic propeller produces a host of observable signatures, chief among which are broad single-peaked aring emission lines with...

background: central venous (cv) catheters play an essential role in the management of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (icu). cv lines are, however, allied to catheter-associated blood stream infections. bacterial colonization of cv lines is deemed the main cause of catheter-associated infection. the purpose of our study was to compare bacterial colony counts in the catheter s...

We compare numerical results obtained from a steady-state MHD model of solar wind ̄ow past the terrestrial magnetosphere with documented observations made by the AMPTE/IRM spacecraft on 24 October, 1985, during an inbound crossing of the magnetosheath. Observations indicate that steady conditions prevailed during this about 4 hour-long crossing. The magnetic shear at spacecraft entry into the m...

Light scattering by dilute flexible polymer solutions filled with spherical particles is studied theoretically within the framework of the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye approximation. The basic idea of our work is that the perturbation of stream lines and flow rates due to the

We introduce indexed streams, a formal operational model and intermediate representation that describes the fused execution of contraction language encompasses both sparse tensor algebra relational algebra. prove stream is correct with respect to functional semantics. also develop compiler for expressions uses streams as an representation. The only 540 lines code, but we show its performance ca...

We find that the quiescent accretion disk of U Gem has a complicated structure. Along to the bright spot originating in the region of interaction between the stream and the disk particles, there are also explicit indications of spiral shocks. The Doppler map and the variations of the peak separation of the emission lines are indicative.
