Manual for production of live feed (Moina) for African catfish fry

The African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a commercially farmed fish in Uganda, second in importance after the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This catfish has gained rapid popularity in aquaculture because of its faster growth and higher pond yields attaining average weight of over one kg with pond yields as high as 3.0 kg/m2 in six months compared to an average weight of 500g and pond yields of 1.2 kg.m2 for the Nile tilapia

Comparison of manual and user guided methodologies for the classification and retrieval of construction site images

The amount of original imaging information produced yearly during the last decade has experienced a tremendous growth in all industries due to the technological breakthroughs in digital imaging and electronic storage capabilities. This trend is affecting the construction industry as well, where digital cameras and image databases are gradually replacing traditional photography. Owners demand complete site photograph logs and engineers store thousands of images for each project to use in a number of construction management tasks like monitoring an activity's progress and keeping evidence of the "as built" in case any disputes arise. So far, retrieval methodologies are done manually with the user being responsible for imaging classification according to specific rules that serve a limited number of construction management tasks. New methods that, with the guidance of the user, can automatically classify and retrieve construction site images are being developed and promise to remove the heavy burden of manually indexing images. In this paper, both the existing methods and a novel image retrieval method developed by the authors for the classification and retrieval of construction site images are described and compared. Specifically a number of examples are deployed in order to present their advantages and limitations. The results from this comparison demonstrates that the content based image retrieval method developed by the authors can reduce the overall time spent for the classification and retrieval of construction images while providing the user with the flexibility to retrieve images according different classification schemes.

Olympic Robot Building Manual

The 1989 AI Lab Winter Olympics will take a slightly different twist from previous Olympiads. Although there will still be a dozen or so athletic competitions, the annual talent show finale will now be a display not of human talent, but of robot talent. Spurred on by the question, "Why aren't there more robots running around the AI Lab?", Olympic Robot Building is an attempt to teach everyone how to build a robot and get them started. Robot kits will be given out the last week of classes before the Christmas break and teams have until the Robot Talent Show, January 27th, to build a machine that intelligently connects perception to action. There is no constraint on what can be built; participants are free to pick their own problems and solution implementations. As Olympic Robot Building is purposefully a talent show, there is no particular obstacle course to be traversed or specific feat to be demonstrated. The hope is that this format will promote creativity, freedom and imagination. This manual provides a guide to overcoming all the practical problems in building things. What follows are tutorials on the components supplied in the kits: a microprocessor circuit "brain", a variety of sensors and motors, a mechanical building block system, a complete software development environment, some example robots and a few tips on debugging and prototyping. Parts given out in the kits can be used, ignored or supplemented, as the kits are designed primarily to overcome the intertia of getting started. If all goes well, then come February, there should be all kinds of new members running around the AI Lab!

The Iterate Manual

This is the manual for version 1.1 of Iterate, a powerful iteration macro for Common Lisp. Iterate is similar to Loop but provides numerous additional features, is well integrated with Lisp, and is extensible.

Manual do usuário do programa AGROSCRE: apoio à avaliação de tendências de transporte de princípios ativos de agrotóxicos.

O programa AGROSCRE foi elaborado para conferir agilidade da avaliação de modelos matemáticos screening, que auxiliam a análise do potencial de contaminação de agrotóxicos em água. Este trabalho apresenta o manual do usuário deste programa, possibilitando uma maior divulgação do uso dos modelos ?screening? e fomentando avaliações, cada vez mais fidedignas, da realidade local do ambiente de produção agrícola nacional, na medida em que os dados de entrada forem refinados. Foi desenvolvido em linguagem Quick Basic 4.5 e necessita de 11K de memória para ser utilizado em modo executável.
