We present a paper, computer programs, and source code which enable fast recognition of a finite set of language tokens. The recognition algorithm can write the source code for a computer program which provides a recognition ...

The majority of coated structural components are subjected to fluctuating internal and/or applied stress because of oscillating mechanical loads. The fatigue behavior of coatings and the overall cyclic failure response of ...

The objective of this study was to determine the applicability of an approach to predict the number of cycles of fatigue loading of a structure to failure.In the present investigation, notched structural elementswere ...

In this note 18 species of Caleoptera Scarabaeidae are reported as new for the fauna of Nicaragua : Pelidnota hirsutiphallica RATCLIFFE & JAMESON, 1989; Isonychus ocellatus BURMEISTER, 1855; Anomala semitonsa BATES, ...

Feedback control of linear shift-invariant singularly perturbed discrete systems of the form x1(k+1) = (I+A11)x1(k) + A12)x2(k) + B1u(k), x2(k+1) = A21x1(k) + A22x2(k) + B2u(k), where (I-A22) may be singular is considered. ...

Feeding was evoked in collared lizards, Crotaphytus collaris, using electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB). Stimulation sites were tested in the forebrain and midbrain of 39 animals. Six stimulation loci were localized ...

Female circumcision is a practice which j.s appalling to many Westerners, yet in cultures where it occurs, it is often considered only a custom. Yet the failure of repeated attempts to eliminate the practice by both ...
