An automated method producing a diagnostic of the severity of lee waves and their impacts on surface winds as represented in output from a high resolution linear numerical model (3D velocities over mountains (3DVOM)) covering several areas of the U.K. is discussed. Lee waves involving turbulent rotor activity or downslope windstorms represent a hazard to aviation and ground transport, and summa...

This paper presents a novel approach to bimodal texture segmentation. The proposed approach features a local binary pattern-based scheme to transform bimodal textures into bimodal gray-scale intensities, segmentable by the Lee-Seo active contour model. This process avoids the iterative calculation of active contour equation terms derived from textural feature vectors, thus reducing the associat...

We define the scaling supersymmetric Yang-Lee model with boundary as the (1 , 3) perturbation of the superconformal minimal model SM(2/8) (or equivalently, the (1 , 5) perturbation of the conformal minimal modelM(3/8)) with a certain conformal boundary condition. We propose the corresponding boundary S matrix, which is not diagonal for general values of the boundary parameter. We argue that the...

The Ising ferromagnet, consisting of magnetic spins, is the simplest system showing phase transitions and critical phenomena at finite temperatures. The Ising ferromagnet has played a central role in our understanding of phase transitions and critical phenomena. Also, the Ising ferromagnet explains the gas-liquid phase transitions accurately. In particular, the Ising ferromagnet in a nonzero ma...
