Evaluating a Pattern-Based Visual Support Approach for Humanitarian Landmine Clearance
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2011)Unexploded landmines have severe post-conflict humanitarian repercussions: landmines cost lives, limbs and land. For deminers engaged in humanitarian landmine clearance, metal detectors remain the primary detection tool ... -
Evaluating DHT-Based Service Placement for Stream Based Overlays
(Springer Verlang, 2005)<i>Stream-based overlay networks</i> (SBONs) are one approach to implementing large-scale stream processing systems. A fundamental consideration in an SBON is that of <i>service placement</i>, which determines the physical ... -
Evaluating insect-host interactions as a driver of species divergence in palm flower weevils
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-12)Plants and their specialized flower visitors provide valuable insights into the evolutionary consequences of species interactions. In particular, antagonistic interactions between insects and plants have often been invoked ... -
Evaluating look-to-talk
(ACM, 2002)We present "look-to-talk", a gaze-aware interface for directing a spoken utterance to a software agent in a multi-user collaborative environment. Through a prototype and a Wizard-of-Oz (Woz) experiment, we show that ... -
Evaluating remote sensing of deciduous forest phenology at multiple spatial scales using PhenoCam imagery
(Copernicus GmbH, 2014)Plant phenology regulates ecosystem services at local and global scales and is a sensitive indicator of global change. Estimates of phenophase transition dates, such as the start of spring or end of autumn, can be derived ... -
Evaluating the Effect of Training on Wages in the Presence of Noncompliance, Nonemployment, and Missing Outcome Data
(American Statistical Union, 2012-07-18)The effects of a job-training program on both employment and wages are evaluated, using data from a randomized study. Principal stratification is used to address, simultaneously, the complications of noncompliance, wages ... -
Evaluating the performance of infectious disease forecasts: A comparison of climate-driven and seasonal dengue forecasts for Mexico
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Dengue viruses, which infect millions of people per year worldwide, cause large epidemics that strain healthcare systems. Despite diverse efforts to develop forecasting tools including autoregressive time series, climate-driven ... -
Evaluating the Relationship Between the Carbon and Sulfur Cycles in the Later Cambrian Ocean: An Example from the Port au Port Group, Western Newfoundland, Canada
(Elsevier, 2009)We present a high-resolution δ34S (sulfate and pyrite) and δ13Ccarbonate record from the Middle–Upper Cambrian Port au Port Group, a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession exposed in western Newfoundland, Canada. The ... -
Evaluating the Relative Environmental Impact of Countries
(Public Library of Science, 2010)Environmental protection is critical to maintain ecosystem services essential for human well-being. It is important to be able to rank countries by their environmental impact so that poor performers as well as policy ... -
Evaluating the role of cogeneration for carbon management in Alberta
(Elsevier BV, 2011)Developing long-term carbon control strategies is important in energy intensive industries such as the oil sands operations in Alberta. We examine the use of cogeneration to satisfy the energy demands of oil sands operations ... -
Evaluating Value-Graph Translation Validation for LLVM
(2011-03-22)Translation validators are static analyzers that attempt to verify that program transformations preserve semantics. Normalizing trans- lation validators do so by trying to match the value-graphs of an original function and ... -

Evaluation and intercomparison of global atmospheric transport models using 222 Rn and other short-lived tracers
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1997)Simulations of 222Rn and other short-lived tracers are used to evaluate and intercompare the representations of convective and synoptic processes in 20 global atmospheric transport models. Results show that most established ...
