The Beads Of St. Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles, Karlis Karklins, Norman F. Barka Jan 1989

The Beads Of St. Eustatius, Netherlands Antilles, Karlis Karklins, Norman F. Barka

BEADS: Journal of the Society of Bead Researchers

Archaeological excavations conducted on the Caribbean island of St. Eustatius over a seven-year period produced a wide array of 18th to early 20th-century beads of glass, coral and carnelian. Detailed descriptions of the recovered specimens are supplemented by information concerning their distribution, relative frequencies, color preference, temporal placement, origins, acquisition and use. Comparative site data are also provided.


A Tool For Integrating Conceptual Schemas And User Views, Amit P. Sheth, James A. Larson, Aloysius Cornelio, Shamkant B. Navathe Feb 1988

A Tool For Integrating Conceptual Schemas And User Views, Amit P. Sheth, James A. Larson, Aloysius Cornelio, Shamkant B. Navathe

Kno.e.sis Publications

An interactive tool has been developed to assist database designers and administrators (DDA) in integrating schemas. It collects the information required for integration from a DDA, performs essential bookkeeping, and integrates schemas according to the semantics provided. The authors present the capabilities of this tool by discussing the integration methodology and the user interface of the tool.

Technology Development: Were The Developing Countries On The Wrong Track During The Last Three Decades?, C V S Ratnam Jul 1987

Technology Development: Were The Developing Countries On The Wrong Track During The Last Three Decades?, C V S Ratnam

IIMB Management Review

Since the end of World War II, the tremendous development of technology, and its application in producing goods and services in abundance continued to make life of human beings satisfactory. In this effort, countries in Europe, the USA and later on Japan made great progress. Witnessing these developments, developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America made efforts to encourage pursuit of science and technology and their applications for the establishment of industry, and production of goods and services for their people. However, advances that had taken place in countries in Europe, the USA and Japan did not come about …

Control Of Insect Pests In Recent Mammal Collections, S. L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways, D. A. Schlitter Jan 1985

Control Of Insect Pests In Recent Mammal Collections, S. L. Williams, Hugh H. Genoways, D. A. Schlitter

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

A review is made of numerous insecticides to determine their suitability for use in Recent mammal collections. Factors determining their value were based on human safety, ability to protect specimens without adverse effects, and other considerations. The more favorable insecticides to use in mammal collections include Dowfume 75, sulfuryl fluoride. dimethyldiclorovinyl phosphate, paradichlorobenzene, carbon dioxide, and naphthalene. Insecticides that are considered less favor able because of many limitations included aldrin, dieldrin, arsenic, borax, mitin, ethylene oxide, methoxychlor, methyl bromide, and pyrethrum. There are some insecticides that should never be used because of extreme health and/or fire hazards. These include carbon …


An Analysis Of The Effect Of Network Load And Topology On The Performance Of Concurrency Control Algorithm In Distributed Database Systems, Anoop Singhal, Amit P. Sheth, Ming T. Liu Dec 1984

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Network Load And Topology On The Performance Of Concurrency Control Algorithm In Distributed Database Systems, Anoop Singhal, Amit P. Sheth, Ming T. Liu

Kno.e.sis Publications

Earlier studies in the performance analysis of concurrency control algorithms in distributed database systems (DDBS) have assumed that the message transmission time between any two nodes of a network is constant. Hence they disregard the effect of communication subnet related parameters such as network traffic, network topology, the capacity of transmission channels and the size of messages transmitted. In this paper an analytical model is used to estimate the delays in transmission channels for a DDBS in a long haul network. The analysis shows that the constant transmission time assumption cannot be justified in many cases and that response time …
