Light distribution in mesic grasslands: Spatial patterns and temporal dynamics
Spatial patterns and temporal dynamics of light distribution were investigated using lacunarity analysis, a multi-scale measure of spatial heterogeneity, in three mesic grasslands with different disturbance regimes. Frequency distributions of relative light intensity (RLI) were similar for the two non-disturbed grasslands, despite different composition (forbs vs. caespitose grass) resulting fro...
متن کاملCo-movement among industry indices of Tehran Stock Exchange, Wavelet Coherence approach
Co-movement analysis has a significant role in recourse allocation, risk management, etc. This study uses the novel approach of wavelet coherence in continuous wavelet transform framework to investigate the correlation dynamic and spillover effect of 10 main sector indices of Tehran Stock Exchange, in time and frequency domains. Analyzing the data indicates that correlation structure among TSE ...
متن کاملLacunarity analysis to determine optimum extents for sample-based spatial information extraction from high-resolution forest imagery
Lacunarity analysis was evaluated as a means to determine multiple pattern scales that are inherent in high-resolution imagery of forests and to specify an optimal spatial extent for spatial image information extraction. A series of 0.5 m pixel images of temperate hardwood and mixed boreal forests were analysed using lacunarity distributions calculated for spatial extents ranging from 7 m to 40...
متن کاملSome New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...
متن کاملTheoretical Structural and Spectral Analyses of TEMPO Radical Derivatives of Fullerene
The spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (C60) were theoretically investigated. The ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using DFT (B3LYP) with 6-31G(d) level. It was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of C60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring ...
