Temporal granularities are the unit of measure for temporal data, thus a multigranular temporal object model allows to store temporal data at different levels of detail, according to the needs of the application domain. ...
The popularity of mobile devices and their increased computing power has given rise to surge in mobile computing technologies. Users are increasingly turning to mobile devices for information relating to their activities ...
Elite rugby union teams currently employ the latest technology to monitor and evaluate the physical demands of training and games on their players. Tackling has been shown to be the most common cause of injury in rugby ...

A central challenge facing sensor network research and development is the difficulty in providing effective autonomous management capability. This is due to a large number
of parameters to control, unexpected changes of ...
Fluorinated amino acids are used as enzyme inhibitors, mechanistic probes and in the production of pharmacologically active peptides. Because enantiomerically pure 4-fluoroglutamate is difficult to prepare, the selective ...
Several Streptomyces and Bacillus strains were examined for their ability to transform the anti-inflammatory drug flurbiprofen 1 to the hydroxylated metabolites that are found in humans after ingestion of this compound. ...
The number of active nodes in a WSN deployment
governs both the longevity of the network and the accuracy
of applications using the network’s data. As node
hibernation techniques become more sophistocated, it
is important ...
The presence of a NOx trapping BaO component with a Pt active phase does not per-se promote carbon combustion. However when coupled with trap regeneration, promotion of soot combustion is seen. Operating NOx trapping ...
This tutorial review compiles the advances that have been achieved in using transition metal complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as components for materials. Applications of metal carbene complexes in fields ...
The prediction of 1D structural properties of proteins is an important step toward the prediction of protein structure and function, not only in the ab initio case but also when homology information to known structures is ...
The biosynthesis of the pyrrolylpolyene rumbrin (1) in the fungus Auxarthron umbrinum was elucidated using feeding studies with labelled precursors. Incorporation of stable isotopes from [15N]-proline, [13C]-methionine and ...
The fungus Cunninghamella elegans is a useful model of human catabolism of xenobiotics. In this paper, the biotransformation of fluorinated biphenyls by C. elegans was investigated by analysis of the culture supernatants ...
The biotransformation of the fluorinated anti-inflammatory drug flurbiprofen was investigated in Cunninghamella spp. Mono- and di-hydroxylated metabolites were detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and ...
Background: Obesity and its measure of body mass index are strongly determined by parental body size. Debate continues as to whether both parents contribute equally to offspring body mass which is key to understanding the ...
Programmed cell death (PCD) describes a small number of processes that result in a highly controlled, and organised, form of cellular destruction, activated in every part of the plant, throughout its entire life cycle. For ...
It is known that, for any simply connected proper subdomain Ω of the complex plane and any point ζ in Ω, there are holomorphic functions on Ω that possess ‘universal’ Taylor series expansions about ζ; that is, partial sums ...
Certain families of quaternion and octonion algebras are conjectured to be of level and sublevel n. A proof of this conjecture is offered in the case where n is a power of two. Hoffmann's proof of the existence of infinitely ...
Aims to describe the variation in breeding bird populations that occur on different types of Irish peatlands and their associated habitat characteristics.
Methods: Bird abundance and diversity were compared between four ...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are almost exclusively regarded as data gathering entities. Various sensed data elements are captured and routed back to a central server for processing, visualization and interpretation. ...
