We propose a single chunk model of long-term memory that combines the basic features of the ACT-R theory and the multiple trace memory architecture. The pivot point of the developed theory is a mathematical description of the creation of new memory traces caused by learning a certain fragment of information pattern and affected by the fragments of this pattern already retained by the current mo...

In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), concern about the impacts of climate and land cover change on water resources and flood-generating processes emphasizes the need for a mechanistic understanding of the interactions between forest canopies and hydrologic processes. Detailed measurements during the 1999 and 2000 hydrologic years were used to modify the Simultaneous Heat and Water (SHAW) model for a...

Over the last few years, several mixed discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods (DGFEM) have been proposed for the discretization of incompressible fluid flow problems. We mention here only the piecewise solenoidal discontinuous Galerkin methods introduced in [5,25], the local discontinuous Galerkin methods of [12,11], and the interior penalty methods studied in [24,33,18]. Some of the mai...

Discontinuous and continuous processes of lactose hydrolysis and concomitant galacto-oligosaccharide (GalOS) formation were studied. To this end a wide experimental range of the main variables was evaluated, including the initial lactose concentration, the degree of lactose conversion, the pH value and the temperature for discontinuous transformations, while the initial lactose concentration an...

Abstract We introduce a new metric homology theory, which we call Moderately Discontinuous Homology, designed to capture Lipschitz properties of singular subanalytic germs. The main novelty our approach is allow “moderately discontinuous” chains, are specially advantageous for capturing the subtleties outer phenomena. Our invariant finitely generated graded abelian group any and homomorphisms ....

The family of rank estimators, including Han’s maximum rank correlation (Han, 1987) as a notable example, has been widely exploited in studying regression problems. For these estimators, although the linear index is introduced for alleviating the impact of dimensionality, the effect of large dimension on inference is rarely studied. This paper fills this gap via studying the statistical propert...
