The key to success is how to define the similarity measure on poems. We first examine the existing similarity measures on strings, and then give a unifying framework tha...
متن کاملDeformation and strength anisotropy of calcareous slates under Brazilian tests

The dominant factor influencing the brightness of a shadow is the solid angle subtended by the object blocking the Sun. Occulters at the zenith that subtend a small solid angle cast shadows that are bright and possess a nearly uniform brightness acros...
