Feldspar grains, as a significant provenance indicator, of two terrigenous formations from Central Iran, the Upper Red Formation, and Moghan area, Zivah Formation, are used for provenance determination and the study of transportation and depositional history. The Upper Red Formation (URF) is volumetrically the most important siliciclastic unit of the Central Iran and Zivah Formation (ZF) repres...

A statistical experiment is a mathematical object that provides a framework for statistical inference, including hypothesis testing and parameter estimation, from observations of an empirical phenomenon. When observations in the continuum of real numbers are not empirically measurable to infinite precision and when conventional floating-point computations used in the inference procedure are not...

Digital Twin is an emerging technology that replicates real-world entities into a digital space. It has attracted increasing attention in the transportation field and many researchers are exploring its future applications development of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies. Connected vehicles (CVs) pedestrians among major traffic participants ITS. However, usage research involvi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Most tropical lianas have specialized organs of attachment such as twining stems, hooks or tendrils but some do not. Many climbers also have an early self-supporting phase of growth and in some species this can produce treelet-sized individuals. This study focuses on how a liana can climb without specialized attachment organs and how biomechanical properties of the stem are ...
