A Molecular Phylogeny of the New World Orioles (Icterus): The Importance of Dense Taxon Sampling
(Elsevier B.V, 1999-07-11)
We sequenced 2005 bp of the mitochondrial ND2 and cytochrome b genes from the 25 recognized species of New World orioles (Icterus). Our data confirmed the monophyly of Icterus and produced a well-resolved phylogeny showing ...
Reconstructing ancestral character states: a critical reappraisal
(1998-09-01)
Using parsimony to reconstruct ancestral character states on a phylogenetic tree has become a popular method for testing ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. Despite its popularity, the assumptions and uncertainties of ...
Acceptance of a speech interface for biomedical data collection.
(1997)
Speech interfaces have the potential to address the data entry bottleneck of many applications in the
field of medical informatics. An experimental study evaluated the effect of perceptual structure on a
multimodal speech ...
Supporting Human Interactions within Integrated Manufacturing Systems
(1998-12-01)
Application integration is a focus of many major research initiatives. A driving force behind application integration is a desire for enterprise-wide integration of organizational business processes. On the surface, increased ...
A Multi-Agent System for Enterprise Integration
(1998-12-01)
The production management system used by most manufacturers today is comprised of
disconnected planning and execution processes, and lacks the support for interoperability for enterprise
wide integration. This situation ...
On Mobility and Agents
(1999-03-24)
The ability to access networked resources, both computational and information, form mobile client will become increasingly importance in the emerging pervasive computing scenario. There is significant ongoing work in the ...
Toward Intelligent Integrated Manufacturing Planning-Execution
(1998-01-01)
In today’s competitive global market place, agility has become a survival factor for many manufacturers. A key measurement of manufacturing agility is the time it takes an organization to respond to market changes. The ...
The Cycic Friends Network: getting Cyc agents to reason together
(1995-12-01)
We describe the initial results of a project aimed at adapting the Cyc system for use in an
agent architecture. Two Cyc systems that share a large common core of knowledge but
differ in additional knowledge they possess ...
Modeling agent conversations with colored petri nets
(1999-05-01)
Conversations are a useful means of structuring communica-
tive interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-
based approach is largely determined by the conversational
model it uses. Finite State Machines, ...
Rheological Characterization and Biological and Mass Transfer Kinetics of Cellulase-Producing T. reesei Viscous Suspensions
(1995)
Steady and dynamic shear measurements are utilized to characterize the rheological behavior of Trichoderma reesi RUT-C30 fungal suspensions during batch growth on xylose (soluble substrate) or cellulose (particulate solid ...
