The relationship between social stratification and municipal solid waste generation remains uncertain under current rapid urbanization. Based on a multi-object spatial sampling technique, we selected 191 households in a rapidly urbanizing area of Xiamen, China. The selected communities were classified into three types: work-unit, transitional, and commercial communities in the context of housin...

We re-examine the vertical structure of the post-shock flow in the accretion region of mCVs, and the X-ray emission as a function of height. We then predict X-ray light curves and phase-resolved spectra, taking into account the vertical structure, examine the implications and check whether the predicted heights are compatible

We present a translation of J. Barwise and J. Seligman’s Information Flow Theory into a lattice and Galois connection based formalism. We show how to transform the different structures of the theory into this formalism and show that this translation extends the expressivity of the theory.

Background Distinction of hydatidiform moles (HMs) from non-molar abortions and sub-classification of HMs are important for clinical practice; yet, diagnosis based solely on morphology is affected by interobserver variability. The objective of this study was to determine the role of DNA flow cytometry in distinguishing molar from non-molar pregnancies. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective stu...

Oscillation of the cerebral blood flow (CBF) is a common feature in several physiological or pathophysiological states of the brain. It is a promising opportunity to identify the disorders of the cerebral circulation based on the classification of CBF signals. Three classification models are developed with different heuristic in order to carry out the systematic classification based on a proble...

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) increasingly attracts more researchers as well as industry attentions. Most of current SDN packet processing approaches classify packets based on matching a set of fields on the packet against a flow table and then applying an action on the packet. The authors argue that it is possible to simplify this mechanism using single-field classification and reduce the ...

We review some of our recent efforts in developing upscaling methods for simulating the flow transport through heterogeneous porous media. In particular, the steady flow transport through highly heterogeneous porous media driven by extraction wells and the flow transport through unsaturated porous media will be considered. Mathematics subject classification: 65F10, 65F30.

Fingerprint classification consists of labeling a fingerprint impression as one of several major types of fingerprints: arch, left loop, right loop, whorl, etc. The problem of fingerprint matching amounts to deciding whether or not two impressions were produced by the same finger. We propose a model based method for fingerprint classification which only uses the flow field, avoiding the non-tri...
