ABSTRACT: Soil compactation is problem in modern agriculture. Over cultivation, intensive cropping and inappropriate soil management leads to soil compactation. There are important factors which directly affect plant growth, such as water, oxygen, temperature and mechanical resistance to seedling emergence…

ABSTRACT: Insects commonly well-known as white grubs are the larval phase of beetles that belong to the Melolonthidae (Coleoptera). This family contains an expressive number of insect species that have different bioecological functions in the agroecosystems in the adult and…

DLP is a basic java-based IDE specifically conceived for DeLP, that allows to compile DeLP programs and queries into JAM opcodes, execute those opcodes, and even witness the actual step by step construction of the dialectical tree that is built…

IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection management, along with transport, and more generally communication…

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly…

Previous work in software product lines showed an increment of up to 10 times in productivity and product quality [SEI Prod_Line]; because of this, the software product line approach is critical for the success of a development project including a…

BACKGROUND:A variety of definitions of evidence-based practice (EBP) exist. However, definitions are in themselves insufficient to explain the underlying processes of EBP and to differentiate between an evidence-based process and evidence-based outcome. There is a need for a clear statement…

BACKGROUND:Primary prevention of breast cancer through prophylactic mastectomy can reduce the risk of malignancy in high-risk individuals. No type of mastectomy completely removes all breast tissue, but a subcutaneous mastectomy leaves more tissue in situ than does a simple mastectomy.CASE…
