Ocean convergence and the dispersion of flotsam
Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental, long-standing, and practically important problem. The dominant paradigm is dispersion within the dynamical context of a nondivergent flow: objects initially close together will on average spread apart but the area of su...
متن کاملTrash Compaction
Let P be a set of n objects on a square grid. A push is a transformation of P that involves sweeping a horizontal or vertical line by one unit, starting from the hull of P , displacing objects in the direction of the sweep. For example, when pushing to the right, all the leftmost objects are displaced one unit to the right. This in turn displaces other objects further right. Given P , we want t...

The Mediterranean Sea is known as an ecological barrier for numerous migratory birds flying from European breeding grounds to African wintering sites. Birds generally avoid migration over open sea and fly over land. In the Mediterranean Basin, few land bridges or bottlenecks for migratory birds exist.

Visual scenes typically contain many objects that compete for the control of attention and saccades, on the basis of their intrinsic salience (exogenous control) or their relevance for the goals of the observer (endogenous control). The present chapter reviews the evidence regarding the relationship between endogenous and exogenous attention and saccades. Furthermore, a competitive integration ...

One of the significant challenges to the successful teaching of statistics is that of giving the topic some relevant historical perspective. Such an effort is worthwhile because many students need a context within which they can understand why we are studying a given technique and how that technique came about. In fact, many of our traditional statistical procedures can be associated with speci...
