Polyploidy and aneuploidy are conspicuous features of chromosomal evolution in the Poaceae; at least 80% of grass species are of polyploid origin (Stebbins 1985). The original basic chromosome number for the Poaceae is not known and has been the subject…

The work carried out in the thesis describes efficient virtual environments management. One of the main contributions is a middleware scheduling optimization based on Grid environments. Being the overall goal to get an optimal resource selection plus a coordinate task…

For centuries, experimentation has been at the center of all successful scientific studies. Experimental explorations can offer new perceptions, weed out unproductive approaches and validate theories and practices. Computer Science (CS), as a discipline, has a poor record when it…

In this Ph. D thesis, the main significant contributions are: formulation of a new non-linear membership function using fuzzy approach to capture and describe vagueness in the technological coefficients of constraints in the industrial production planning problems [1-3]. This non-linear…

In order to measure the performance of a parallel machine, a set of application kernels as benchmarks have often been used. However, it is not always possible to characterize the performance using only benchmarks, given the fact that each one…

Regional anaesthesia has become more popular in recent years with an emphasis on cost effectiveness, bed occupancy, and reduction in hospital acquired infections (HAIs). Anaesthesia is a worrying time for any patient, but now the emphasis is to encourage patient…

This study was undertaken to observe factors affecting the process and impact of employee volunteer activities in three business enterprises in Thailand, using a Buddhist economic framework. Buddhist economics differs significantly from mainstream (neoclassical) economics in its ontological underpinning. This…

Despite the recent growing interest in user-led organisations (ULOs), they remain an under-researched
area of volunteer sector activity, with the majority of the literature emanating from North America. This
article attempts to redress this imbalance by reporting on the innovatory…

Only a few binary systems with compact objects display TeV emission. The physical properties of the companion stars represent basic input for understanding the physical mechanisms behind the particle acceleration, emission, and absorption processes in these so-called gamma-ray binaries. Here…
