Academic Editor: Jesus Martinez-Frias Received: 24 December 2014 / Accepted: 23 March 2015 / Published: 3 April 2015 Abstract: The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model is the most frequently used model for soil erosion risk estimation. Among the six input layers, the combined slope length and slope angle (LS-factor) has the greatest influence on soil loss at the European scale. The S-factor measures the effect of slope steepness, and the L-factor defines the impact of slope length. The combined LS-factor describes the effect of topography on soil erosion. The European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC) developed a new pan-European high-resolution soil erosion assessment to achieve a better understanding of the spatial and temporal patterns of soil erosion in Europe. The LS-calculation was performed using the original equation proposed by Desmet and Govers (1996) and implemented using the System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses (SAGA), which incorporates a multiple flow algorithm and contributes to a precise estimation of flow accumulation.

    5 Command Line Functions by Barbara C

    ADAPS: Chapter 5. Command Line Functions 5 Command Line Functions by Barbara C. Hoopes and James F. Cornwall This chapter describes ADAPS command line functions. These are functions that are executed from the UNIX command line instead of from ADAPS menus, and that may be run manually or by automated means such as “cron” jobs. Most of these functions are NOT accessible from the ADAPS menus. These command line functions are described in detail below. 5.1 Hydra Although Hydra is available from ADAPS at the PR sub-menu, Edit Time Series Data using Hydra (TS_EDIT), it can also be started from the command line. However, to start Hydra outside of ADAPS, a DV or UV RDB file needs to be available to edit. The command is “hydra rdb_file_name.” For a complete description of using Hydra, refer to Section 4.5.2 Edit Time-Series Data using Hydra (TS_EDIT). 5.2 nwrt2rdb This command is used to output rating information in RDB format. It writes RDB files with a table containing the rating equation parameters or the rating point pairs, with all other information contained in the RDB comments. The following arguments can be used with this command: nwrt2rdb -ooutfile -zdbnum -aagency -nstation -dddid -trating_type -irating_id -e (indicates to output ratings in expanded form; it is ignored for equation ratings.) -l loctzcd (time zone code or local time code "LOC") -m (indicates multiple output files.) -r (rounding suppression) Rules • If -o is omitted, nwrt2rdb writes to stdout; AND arguments -n, -d, -t, and -i must be present. • If -o is present, no other arguments are required, and the program will use ADAPS routines to prompt for them.

FMT consists of the administration of fresh or frozen fecal microorganisms from a healthy donor into the intestinal tract of diseased patients. At this time, in according to healthcare authorities, FMT is mainly used to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile. Despite the existence of a few existing stool banks worldwide and many studies of the FMT, there is no standard method for producing material for FMT, and there are a multitude of factors that can vary between the institutions. The main constraints for the therapeutic uses of FMT are safety concerns and acceptability. Technical and logistical issues arise when establishing such a non-standardized treatment into clinical practice with safety and proper governance. In this context, our manuscript describes a process of donor safety screening for FMT compiling clinical and biological examinations, questionnaires and interviews of donors.

Ernst University of Washington, USA {weitzkon,genelkim,ping128,mernst}@cs.uw.edu ABSTRACT // Untested code (Hadoop) Most programming languages support format strings, but their use Resource r = ... format("Insufficient memory %d", r); is error-prone. Using the wrong format string syntax, or passing the wrong number or type of arguments, leads to unintelligible text // Unchecked input (FindBugs) output, program crashes, or security vulnerabilities. String urlRewriteFormat = read(); This paper presents a type system that guarantees that calls to format(urlRewriteFormat, url); format string APIs will never fail. In Java, this means that the API will not throw exceptions. In C, this means that the API will not // User unaware log is a format routine (Daikon) log("Exception " + e); return negative values, corrupt memory, etc. We instantiated this type system for Java’s Formatter API, and // Invalid syntax for Formatter API (ping-gcal) evaluated it on 6 large and well-maintained open-source projects. format("Unable to reach {0}", server); Format string bugs are common in practice (our type system found Listing 1: Real-world code examples of common programmer 104 bugs), and the annotation burden on the user of our type system mistakes that lead to format routine call failures.
