Optical scaling in conspecific Cataglyphis ants
This study examines the effects of body size variation on the optical properties of the compound eyes of visually guided desert ants belonging to the genus Cataglyphis. Although linear head size may vary by a factor of 2 within conspecific workers and most optical parameters change accordingly, the extent of the visual field remains constant. Comparative measurements carried out on workers of t...

متن کاملDynamic Slope Scaling Procedure for Stochastic Integer Programming Problem
Mathematical programming has been applied to various problems. For many actual problems, the assumption that the parameters involved are deterministic known data is often unjustified. In such cases, these data contain uncertainty and are thus represented as random variables, since they represent information about the future. Decision-making under uncertainty involves potential risk. Stochastic ...
متن کاملEpitaxial Growth Without Slope Selection: Energetics, Coarsening, and Dynamic Scaling
We study a continuum model for epitaxial growth of thin films in which the slope of mound structure of film surface increases. This model is a diffusion equation for the surface height profile h which is assumed to satisfy the periodic boundary condition. The equation happens to possess a Lyapunov or “free energy” functional. This functional consists of the term |∆h|2 that represents the surfac...
متن کاملScaling of a Slope: the Erosion of Tilted Landscapes
We formulate a stochastic equation to model the erosion of a surface with fixed inclination. Because the inclination imposes a preferred direction for material transport, the problem is intrinsically anisotropic. At zeroth order, the anisotropy manifests itself in a linear equation that predicts that the prefactor of the surface height-height correlations depends on direction. The first higher-...
