members of the family laccophyllidae are small, solitary rugose corals with stratigraphic ranges from silurian to permian. among the laccophyllids, axial ends of major septa are united in an aulos and dissepiments may be absent or present. minor septa can be contratingent and sometimes are small or in some genera are absent. septa and aulos may be thick or thin. in this study, famennian rugose ...

Family Muridae consists of eight genera and 28 species in Iran. This family shows notable variability of karyological features. In this study, karyological data derived from 11 species of 7 genera of this family of Iran are presented and compared with previously published accounts. The included species were: Mus musculus musculus from Gonbad (2n=40, FN=40) and Birjand (2n=40, FN=38), Rattus nor...

In this report, generalized wave breaking equations are developed using three dimensional fully nonlinear extended Boussinesq equations to encompass rotational dynamics in wave breaking zone. The derivation for vorticity distributions are developed from Reynold based stress equations.

We propose to use binary strings as an efficient feature point descriptor, which we call BRIEF. We show that it is highly discriminative even when using relatively few bits and can be computed using simple intensity difference tests. Furthermore, the descriptor similarity can be evaluated using the Hamming distance, which is very efficient to compute, instead of the L2 norm as is usually done. ...

The long-term goals are to understand surf zone processes related to rip current systems through field observations. Rip currents occur commonly on most beaches and dominate many. It is recognized that beaches with straight and parallel contours are not a stable morphologic configuration whereas more complex beaches, which support the existence of rip current morphology, are stable and more com...

There is a serious problem with one of the assumptions made in the security proof of the SURF scheme. This problem turns out to be easy in the regime of parameters needed for the SURF scheme to work. We give afterwards the old version of the paper for the reader’s convenience.

The skyline, or Pareto, operator selects those tuples that are not dominated by any others. Extending relational systems with the skyline operator would offer a basis for handling preference queries. Good algorithms are needed for skyline, however, to make this efficient in a relational setting. We propose a skyline algorithm, SFS, based on presorting that is general, for use with any skyline q...
