Spatial Persistence HANS

چکیده
We examine the spatial version of the persistence problem. In temporal reasoning, this is the problem of determining whether or not the validity of a fact at some point in time persists until another point in time, given that certain events or processes may happen in between. We show that its analog does intuitively exist in spatial reasoning, and review under the aspect of transferability to space different approaches for achieving persistence in temporal reasoning. Finally, we present reasoning with generalized spatial Allen relations as an instance of reasoning under the assumption of spatial persistence.

Divide and conquer? Persistence of infectious agents in spatial metapopulations of hosts.
Persistence of an infectious agent in a population is an important issue in epidemiology. It is assumed that spatially fragmenting a population of hosts increases the probability of persistence of an infectious agent and that movement of hosts between the patches is vital for that. The influence of migration on persistence is however often studied in mean-field models, whereas in reality the ac...
متن کاملFormation and Persistence of Spatiotemporal Turing Patterns
This article is concerned with the stability and longtime dynamics of structures arising from a structureless state. The paradigm is suggested by developmental biology, where morphogenesis is thought to result from a competition between chemical reactions and spatial diffusion. A system of two reaction–diffusion equations for the concentrations of two morphogens is reduced to a finite system of...

Iran is located in dry zone of mid-latitude in which the mean rainfall is 250 mm and it has dramatic tempo-spatial changes. Rainfalls with short persistency are of characteristics of dry regions and it is also tangible in Iran. However, Iran’s rainfalls persistency ranges from 1 to 45 days and have dramatic tempo-spatial changes, but the maximum amount and days of rainfalls are supplied by rain...
متن کاملSpace, persistence and dynamics of measles epidemics.
This paper explores the relations between persistence and dynamics in measles epidemics. Most current models, including the stochastic seasonally forced and age-structured models examined here, fail to capture simultaneously the observed dynamics and persistence characteristics of epidemics in large urban populations before vaccination. Summary measures of persistence and trienniality allow us ...
متن کاملThe visible persistence of stimuli in stroboscopic motion.
This paper reports an improved paradigm to measure visible persistence. The stimulus is a pair of lines stroboscopically displayed in successive positions moving in opposite directions. The subjects' judgement of simultaneous appearance of all the presented lines is used to estimate visible persistence. This paradigm permitted independent manipulation of spatial and temporal stimulus separation...
