Do Domestic Firms Benefit from Direct Foreign Investment? Evidence from Venezuela
- AMERICAN ECONOMIC REVIEW
, 1999
"... Governments often promote inward foreign investment to encourage technology “spillovers” from foreign to domestic firms. Using panel data on Venezuelan plants, we find that foreign equity participation is positively correlated with plant produc-tivity (the “own-plant” effect), but this relationship ..."

PDDL2.1: An Extension to PDDL for Expressing Temporal Planning Domains
, 2003
"... In recent years research in the planning community has moved increasingly towards application of planners to realistic problems involving both time and many types of resources. For example, interest in planning demonstrated by the space research community has inspired work in observation scheduling, ..."

, planetary rover exploration and spacecraft control domains. Other temporal and resource-intensive domains including logistics planning, plant control and manufacturing have also helped to focus the community on the modelling and reasoning issues that must be confronted to make planning technology meet
The WEKA Data Mining Software: An Update
"... More than twelve years have elapsed since the first public release of WEKA. In that time, the software has been rewritten entirely from scratch, evolved substantially and now accompanies a text on data mining [35]. These days, WEKA enjoys widespread acceptance in both academia and business, has an a ..."

Radiosity and Realistic Image Synthesis
, 1993
"... this paper, such as the global distribution of radiative energy in the tree crowns, which affects the amount of light reaching the leaves and the local temperature of plant organs. The presented framework itself is also open to further research. To begin, the precise functional specification of the ..."

issues are not limited to the environment, but also arise in plant models. They become particularly relevant as the scope of modeling increases from individual plants to groups of plants and, eventually, entire plant communities. This raises the problem of selecting the proper level of abstraction
The eucalyptus open-source cloud-computing system
- In Proceedings of Cloud Computing and Its Applications [Online
"... Cloud computing systems fundamentally provide access to large pools of data and computational resources through a variety of interfaces similar in spirit to existing grid and HPC resource management and programming systems. These types of systems offer a new programming target for scalable applicati ..."

However, most cloud computing systems in operation today are proprietary, rely upon infrastructure that is invisible to the research community, or are not explicitly designed to be instrumented and modified by systems researchers
Rapid worldwide depletion of predatory fish communities.
- Nature,
, 2003
"... Serious concerns have been raised about the ecological effects of industrialized fishing Ecological communities on continental shelves and in the open ocean contribute almost half of the planet's primary production 9 , and sustain three-quarters of global fishery yields 1 . The widespread dec ..."

A Factorization Based Algorithm for Multi-Image Projective Structure and Motion
, 1996
"... . We propose a method for the recovery of projective shape and motion from multiple images of a scene by the factorization of a matrix containing the images of all points in all views. This factorization is only possible when the image points are correctly scaled. The major technical contribution of ..."

Introduction In the last few years, the geometric and algebraic relations between uncalibrated views have found lively interest in the computer vision community. A first key result states that, from two uncalibrated views, one can recover the 3D structure of a scene up to an unknown projective transformation
Experiences of developing and deploying a context-aware tourist guide: the GUIDE project
, 2000
"... The GUIDE system has been developed to provide city visitors with a hand-held context-aware tourist guide. The system has been successfully deployed in a major tourist destination and is currently at the stage where it is publicly available to visitors who wish to explore the city. Reaching this sta ..."

We believe that through our work on the GUIDE project we have produced a blueprint for the development of interactive context-aware systems that should be of real value to those in the community
An optimal and progressive algorithm for skyline queries

"... The skyline of a set of d-dimensional points contains the points that are not dominated by any other point on all dimensions. Skyline computation has recently received considerable attention in the database community, especially for progressive (or online) algorithms that can quickly return the firs ..."

Predicting changes in community composition and ecosystem functioning from plant traits: revisiting the Holy Grail.
- Funct. Ecol.16

"... Summary 1. The concept of plant functional type proposes that species can be grouped according to common responses to the environment and/or common effects on ecosystem processes. However, the knowledge of relationships between traits associated with the response of plants to environmental factors ..."
