    Notes: Abstract In 1991, provisions for environmental impact assessment in New Zealand were changed significantly with the enactment of the Resource Management Act. Among other provisions, this act requires consideration of cumulative impacts in environmental assessment activities undertaken by planners in newly created regional authorities and district and city councils. The institutional context in which the act is being implemented offers both opportunities and constraints to cumulative impact assessment. A lack of methods for CIA is a recognized problem. However, methods that have been developed for environmental impact assessments can be modified to incorporate second-, third-, and fourth-order impacts as well as to identify the direction and magnitude of additive and synergistic impacts. Layered matrices and combined networks are examples of such methods. While they do not allow for scientific prediction, they do provide the practitioner with the ability to consider the cumulative impacts of decisions. This is crucial in New Zealand, where statutory requirements are ahead of established methodologies.

    Notes: Abstract The financial industry is becoming more and more dependent on advanced computer technologies in order to maintain competitiveness in a global economy. Neural networks represent an exciting technology with a wide scope for potential applications, ranging from routine credit assessment operations to driving of large scale portfolio management strategies. Some of these applications have already resulted in dramatic increases in productivity. This paper brings together, from diverse sources, a collection of current research issues on neural networks in the financial domain. It examines a range of neural network systems related to financial applications from different levels of maturity to fielded products. It discusses the success rate of the neural network systems, and their performance in resolving particular financial problems.

    Adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase genes in wheat: differential expression and gene mapping (1995)
    Springer

    Keywords: ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase ; Gene ex ; pression (Agp1, Agp2) ; Hexaploid wheat-Starch synthesis ; Triticum

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract A full-length cDNA clone representing the large (shrunken-2) subunit of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP; EC 2.7.7.27) has been isolated from a cDNA library prepared from developing grain of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Chinese Spring). The 2084-bp cDNA insert contains an open reading frame of 1566 nucleotides and primer-extension analysis indicated that the 5′ end is 10 nucleotides shorter than the mRNA. The deduced protein contains 522 amino acids (57.8 kDa) and includes a putative transit peptide of 62 amino acids (6.5 kDa). The similarity of the deduced protein to the small subunit of AGP and to other AGP genes from plants and microorganisms is discussed. Northern hybridisation shows that the Agp1 genes (encoding the small subunit in the wheat endosperm) and the Agp2 genes (encoding the large subunit in the wheat endosperm) are differentially expressed in the wheat grain. Transcripts from both gene sets accumulate to high levels in the endosperm during grain development with the majority of the expression in the endopsperm rather than the embryo and pericarp layers. Although enzyme activity is detected in developing grains prior to 10 d post anthesis, only the Agp1 genes are active at this time (the Agp2 genes are not expressed until 10 d post anthesis). The possibility that the enzyme expressed during early grain development is a homotetramer of small subunits is discussed. The Agp1 and Agp2 genes are arranged as triplicate sets of single-copy homoeoloci in wheat. The Agp2 genes are located on the long arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B and 1D, about 80 cM from the centromere. The Agp1 genes have been mapped to a position just distal to the centromere on the long arms of chromosomes 7A, 7B and 7D.

    Dynamic capacity allocation and hybrid multiplexing techniques for ATM wireless LANs (1998)
    Springer
    Mobile networks and applications 3 (1998), S. 307-316 
    Details

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Computer Science
    Notes: Abstract We consider digital wireless multimedia LANs and time‐varying traffic rates. To deal effectively with the dynamics of the time‐varying traffic rates, a Traffic Monitoring Algorithm (TMA) is deployed to dynamically allocate channel capacities to the heterogeneous traffics. The TMA is implemented as a higher level protocol that dictates the capacity boundaries within two distinct framed transmission techniques: a Framed Time Domain‐Based (FTDB) technique and a Framed CDMA (FCDMA) technique. The performance of the TMA in the presence of the FTDB technique is compared to its performance in the presence of the FCDMA technique for some traffic scenarios. The performance metrics used for the TMA‐FTDB and TMA‐FCDMA combinations are channel capacity utilization factors, traffic rejection rates, and traffic delays. It is found that the TMA‐FTDB is superior to the TMA‐FCDMA when the speed of the transmission links is relatively low and the lengths of the transmitted messages are relatively short. As the speed of the transmission links and the length of the transmitted messages increase, the TMA‐FCDMA eventually outperforms the TMA‐FTDB.

    Notes: Abstract We consider multimedia wireless networks in environments where traffic characterizations and traffic rates are generally time‐varying. For such networks we propose a CDMA transmission policy, in conjunction with a moving boundaries concept induced by a traffic monitoring high‐level protocol. The proposed transmission/traffic management technique is analyzed and numerically evaluated.

    Analysis of multiple copies of geminiviral DNA in the genome of four closely related Nicotiana species suggest a unique integration event (1997)

    Keywords: integration ; geminivirus ; plant genomes ; evolution

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Previously, we discovered multiple direct repeats of geminivirus-related DNA (GRD) sequences clustered at a single chromosomal position in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco). Here we show that, in addition to tobacco, multiple copies of these elements occur in the genomes of three related Nicotiana species, all in the section Tomentosae: N. tomentosiformis, N. tomentosa and N. kawakamii, but not in 9 other more distantly related Nicotiana species, nor in various other solanaceous and non-solanaecous plants. DNA sequence analysis of 18 GRD copies reveal 4 distinct, but highly related, sub-families: GRD5, GRD3 and GRD53 in tobacco; GRD5 in N. tomentosiformis and N. kawakamii; and GRD2 in N. tomentosa. In addition to novel sequences, all elements share significant but varying lengths of DNA sequence similarity with the geminiviral replication origin plus the adjacent rep gene. There is extended sequence similarity to REP protein at the deduced amino acid sequence level, including motifs associated with other rolling circle replication proteins. Our data suggest that all GRD elements descend from a unique geminiviral integration event, most likely in a common ancestor of these Tomentosae species.

    Traffic monitoring for capacity allocation of multimedia traffic in ATM broadband networks (1998)
    Springer
    Telecommunication systems 9 (1998), S. 173-206 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9451
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Electrical Engineering, Measurement and Control Technology
    Notes: Abstract We address the accommodation of multimedia traffic by ATM broadband networks. We isolate a single network channel and we search for capacity allocation/transmission multiplexing policies which satisfy all traffic QOSs with simultaneous high utilization of channel capacity resources, in the presence of variable traffic rates. Towards that direction, we superimpose a high-level traffic-monitoring protocol which determines capacity allocations for each traffic category, dynamically. The latter protocol has sequential and implementation-efficient characteristics, and induces moving boundaries within prespecified and fixed channel frames. The channel frames are selected to satisfy the jittering constraints of all the traffics, such as voice, video and high versus low speed data. The high level protocol, in conjunction with the channel frame structure and the specifics of the transmission policy, may satisfy all traffic QOSs and may simultaneously attain high channel utilization, for certain variability conditions of the traffic rates and at relatively low implementation cost. Performance analysis as well as numerical evaluations are provided.

    Notes: Abstract. This is an investigation of an endocrine cell type in the midgut of the migratory locust Locusta migratoria. This cell type is found in the posterior region of the midgut and is especially common in the ampullae through which Malpighian tubules drain into the gut at the midgut-hindgut junction. Strong Locusta diuretic hormone-like immunoreactivity in these cells was colocalized with FMRFamide- and substance P-like immunoreactivities. At the ultrastructural level, immunoreactivity for Locusta diuretic hormone was found in spherical granules (mean diameter of 450 nm), the contents of which showed variable electron density. Fractionation of a methanolic extract of the ampullae by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography revealed the presence of two peaks of Locusta diuretic hormone-like immunoreactive material, both of which stimulate cyclic AMP production by isolated Malpighian tubules. The more hydrophobic material is most likely Locusta diuretic hormone, which has the same retention time when chromatographed under identical conditions.
