Urban heat island is among the most evident aspects of human impacts on the earth system. Here we assess the diurnal and seasonal variation of surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) defined as the surface temperature difference between urban area and suburban area measured from the MODIS. Differences in SUHII are analyzed across 419 global big cities, and we assess several potential biophy...

Herein a big Fe-C-Ca cycle, clarifying the basic element flows and energy flows in modern carbon-intensive industries including the metallurgical industry and the cement industry, was proposed for the first time in the contexts of emission reduction and iron ore degradation nowadays. This big cycle was focused on three industrial elements of Fe, C and Ca and thus it mainly comprised three inter...

Machine Compiler while loops into a compiler We formally de ned similar transformations and implemented them in Prolog Applying our system to the above mentioned toy language yields similar results The goal of our work is to apply the method to speci cations of realistic programming languages and thus detecting missing links insu ciencies and possible optimizations of the transformations We dec...

The study of creativity is characterized by a variety of key questions, such as the nature of the creative process, whether there are multiple types of creativity, the relationship between high levels of creativity ("Big C") and everyday creativity ("little c"), and the neural basis of creativity. Herein we examine the question of the relationship between creativity in the arts and the sciences...

1. (45 points) Big monkey (M ) and little monkey (m) live happily in the jungle, but they are often hungry. Both monkeys eat the fruit of a particular tree, which grows high above the ground. They both have two actions: “bang on tree” (B) and “climb to obtain the fruit” (C). Being more senior, big monkey gets to act first. Banging on the tree by big monkey yields 0.6 probability for the fruit t...
