Trypan Blue Dye is an Effective and Inexpensive Way to Determine the Viability of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis
"... Abstract: Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) has been implicated in hundreds of amphibian declines and is the focus of a vast amount of research. Despite this, there is no reported efficient way to assess Bd viability. Discriminating between live and dead Bd would help determine the dose of live Bd ..."

Repeated superovulation of high-prolificacy Rasa Aragonesa ewes before culling as an inexpensive way to obtain high-quality embryos.
- Livest. Prod. Sci.,
, 2000
"... Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the ovulatory response and embryo production after repeated superovulation of selected high-prolificacy Rasa Aragonesa ewes at the end of their reproductive life. A total of 211 superovulatory treatments were performed during the breeding seasons of ..."

.10) or 4.5 (P , 0.05) freezable embryos, respectively). This was primarily attributable to a lower ovulation rate (three fewer corpora lutea; P , 0.10). Results indicate that the methodology used in the present study could be an efficient and inexpensive way to obtain high-quality embryos from selected
Modern Information Retrieval
, 1999
"... Information retrieval (IR) has changed considerably in the last years with the expansion of the Web (World Wide Web) and the advent of modern and inexpensive graphical user interfaces and mass storage devices. As a result, traditional IR textbooks have become quite out-of-date which has led to the i ..."

Habitat monitoring: application driver for wireless communications technology
- In ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Data Communications in Latin America and the Caribbean
, 2001
"... lecs.cs.ucla.edu As new fabrication and integration technologies reduce the cost and size of micro-sensors and wireless interfaces, it becomes feasible to deploy densely distributed wireless networks of sensors and actuators. These systems promise to revolutionize biological, earth, and environmenta ..."

To address this, we propose a tiered system architecture in which data collected at numerous, inexpensive sensor nodes is filtered by local processing on its way through to larger, more capable and more expensive nodes. We briefly describe Habitat monitoring as our motivating application
RAID: High-Performance, Reliable Secondary Storage
- ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS
, 1994
"... Disk arrays were proposed in the 1980s as a way to use parallelism between multiple disks to improve aggregate I/O performance. Today they appear in the product lines of most major computer manufacturers. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of disk arrays and provides a framework in which to o ..."

Pipeline gating: speculation control for energy reduction
- In Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture
, 1998
"... Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although speculative execution is essential for increasing the instructions per cycle (IPC), it does come at a cost. A large amount o ..."

of unnecessary work results from wrong-path instructions entering the pipeline due to branch misprediction. Results generated with the SimpleScalar tool set using a 4-way issue pipeline and various branch predictors show an instruction overhead of 16 % to 105 % for every instruction committed. The instruction
An Inexpensive BRDF Model for Physically-based Rendering
, 1994
"... : A new BRDF model is presented which can be viewed as an kind of intermediary model between empirism and theory. Main results of physics are observed (energy conservation, reciprocity rule, microfacet theory) and numerous phenomena involved in light reflection are accounted for, in a physically pla ..."

On Building Inexpensive Network Capabilities
"... There are many deployed approaches for blocking unwanted traffic, either once it reaches the recipient’s network, or closer to its point of origin. One of these schemes is based on the notion of traffic carrying capabilities that grant access to a network and/or end host. However, leveraging capabil ..."

An Inexpensive Cosmic Ray Detector

Along the way, they ionize other atoms, creating a short-lived, measurable current pulse. Jackson and Welker5 showed that a common digital data acquisition board or device (such as a
Legolog: Inexpensive experiments in cognitive robotics
- In Proc. of CogRob2000
