Large-scale modeling of glacier mass balance relies often on the output from regional climate models (RCMs). However, the limited accuracy and spatial resolution of RCM output pose limitations on mass balance simulations at subregional or local scales. Moreover, RCM output is still rarely available over larger regions or for longer time periods. This study evaluates the extent to which it is po...

A metric utility balance is at the heart of one of the most widely used and studied methods for conjoint analysis. We use formal models, simulations, and empirical data to suggest that adaptive metric utility balance leads to partworth estimates that are relatively biased—smaller partworths are upwardly biased relative to larger partworths. Such relative biases could lead to erroneous manageria...

A simplified, systematic approach to the mathematical simulation of crystallizers is attempted by using the fundamental principles of mass conservation, via a population balance to the solid phase and a solute balance to both solid and liquid phases. A continuous, isothermal and isochoric crystallizer is assumed to be described by the MSMPR model under transient operating conditions with comple...

A force decomposition (FD) method previously used for two-body interactions is extended to three-body interactions. Three modified force decomposition strategies, namely cyclic decomposition (CD), balanced cyclic decomposition (BD) and precise decomposition (PD) are proposed. They are based on the decomposition of the three-body force matrix and the precise estimation of triplets involved in ea...

UNLABELLED The use of illicit drugs and alcohol can affect body balance. AIM To evaluate balance control with static posturography in individuals addicted to illicit drugs, with or without alcohol abuse. STUDY DESIGN Case-control, prospective. METHODS 47 users of illicit drugs, with or without alcohol abuse, and a homogeneous control group consisting of 47 healthy individuals were submitt...

In this paper, we study homogeneous geodesics in homogeneous Finsler spaces. We first give a simple criterion that characterizes geodesic vectors. We show that the geodesics on a Lie group, relative to a bi-invariant Finsler metric, are the cosets of the one-parameter subgroups. The existence of infinitely many homogeneous geodesics on compact semi-simple Lie group is established. We introduce ...
