In this paper we compare two probabilistic data structures for association queries derived from the well-known Bloom filter: the shifting Bloom filter (ShBF), and the spatial Bloom filter (SBF).With respect to the original data structure, both variants add the ability to store multiple subsets in the same filter, using different strategies.We analy
Abstract Background A strong dose-volume relationship exists between the amount of small bowel receiving low- to intermediate-doses of radiation and the rates of acute, severe gastrointestinal toxicity, principally diarrhea.There is considerable interest in the application of highly conformal treatment approaches, such as intensity-modulated radiat
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious animal disease that causes irreparable damage to the economy of countries, including Iran in which this disease is a native one.Among the ways to combat FMD are vaccination and slaughter.Due to the specific situation of Iran, it is not possible to kill infected animals.Therefore, vaccination is the most
This work deals with the development of a dynamic task assignment strategy for heterogeneous multi-robot teams in typical real world scenarios.The strategy must be efficiently scalable to support u11-200ps problems of increasing complexity with minimum designer intervention.To this end, we have selected a very simple auction-based strategy, which h
The soil management adopted in vineyard inter-rows has a great influence on soil hydraulic properties, and, consequently, on runoff at the field scale.Conventional management with tillage is adopted by vine-growers to improve the soil water recharge during winter.Nevertheless, this practice is known to increase runoff and soil erosion in steep area
