Estimating Topographic Blocking Using a Froude Number When the Static Stability Is Nonuniform

Froude number corrections in anthropological studies.

The Froude number has been widely used in anthropology to adjust for size differences when comparing gait parameters or other nonmorphological locomotor variables (such as optimal walking speed or speed at gait transitions) among humans, nonhuman primates, and fossil hominins. However, the dynamic similarity hypothesis, which is the theoretical basis for Froude number corrections, was originall...

Stability of a Cartesian grid projection method for zero Froude number shallow water flows

In this paper a Godunov-type projection method for computing approximate solutions of the zero Froude number (incompressible) shallow water equations is presented. It is second-order accurate and locally conserves height (mass) and momentum. To enforce the underlying divergence constraint on the velocity field, the predicted numerical fluxes, computed with a standard second order method for hyp...

Estimating confidence limits on a standardised mortality ratio when the expected number is not error free.

OBJECTIVE The aim was to demonstrate how the beta distribution may be used to find confidence limits on a standardised mortality ratio (SMR) when the expected number of events is subject to random variation and to compare these limits with those obtained with the standard exact approach used for SMRs and with a Fieller-based confidence interval. DESIGN The relationship of the binomial and the...

Xperimental Study of Froude Number Modeli

Estimating the Number of Wideband Radio Sources

In this paper, a new approach for estimating the number of wideband sources is proposed which is based on RSS or ISM algorithms. Numerical results show that the MDL-based and EIT-based proposed algorithm havea much better detection performance than that in EGM and AIC cases for small differences between the incident angles of sources. In addition, for similar conditions, RSS algorithm offers hi...
