many earthquakes occur in iran every year and some of these earthquakes cause loss of life and property. consequently earthquake is one of challenging topics not only in iran but also in other active tectonic regions in the world. investigating the mechanism of earthquake as a natural disaster is the first and important step. to study earthquakes, different information such as geometry and beha...

Kaparthi, S. and H.R. Rao, Higher dimensional restricted lattice paths with diagonal steps, Discrete Applied Mathematics 31(1991) 279-289. In this paper, restricted minimal lattice paths with horizontal, vertical, and diagonal steps, in two and higher dimensions are discussed. The Delannoy numbers, the numbers of unrestricted minimal lattice paths with diagonal steps, and some of their properti...

The fMRI technique was used to investigate the functional neuroanatomy of binding features within- or cross-dimension during visual conjunction search. Participants were asked to perform feature search (FS; e.g., search for a vertical bar among tilted bars), within-dimension search (WS; e.g., search for an upright T among non-target oriented Ts and Ls), cross-dimension search (CS; e.g., search ...

We demonstrate that constituents of motor actions associated with handled objects play a role in identifying such objects. Subjects held in working memory action plans for reaching movements; these action plans specified both the hand to be used (left or right) and a wrist orientation (vertical or horizontal). Speeded object identification was impaired when a pictured object matched the action ...

More and more companies are installing Chief Digital Officer (CDO) positions in order to support the progress of their digital transformation. Since the employment of CDOs may influence companies’ organizing logics, we conducted a multiple case study analysis to investigate the organization design parameters surrounding CDOs and their digital transformation activities. By examining the governan...

We generalize the class of endogenous growth models in which the scale of the economy has level rather than growth effects, and study the implications of different demographic and technological factors when both fertility choice and research effort are endogenous. The model incorporates two dimensions of technological progress: vertical (quality of goods) and horizontal (variety of goods). Both...

A number of methods have been proposed to automate air traffic conflict detection and resolution (CD&R), but there has been little cohesive discussion or comparative evaluation of approaches. This paper presents a survey of 68 recent CD&R modeling methods, several of which are currently in use or under operational evaluation. A framework that articulates the basic functions of CD&R is used to c...

Given the uneven distribution of sounding and automatic weather stations throughout the Fujian province of China, a method for the extension of meteorological elements from point data to a three dimensional field is proposed, which can be used for hail detection and other weather forecasts. Considering the temperature and air pressure as the classic meteorological elements, these are extended t...
