In one popular account of the human visual system, two streams are distinguished, a ventral stream specialized for perception and a dorsal stream specialized for action. The skillful use of familiar tools, however, is likely to involve the cooperation of both streams. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we scanned individuals while they viewed short movies of familiar tools being grasp...

With the objective of contrasting performance between STREAMS and legacy approaches to system facilities, a comparison is made between the tested performance of the Linux Native Sockets UDP implementation and STREAMS TPI UDP and XTIoS UDP implementations using the Linux Fast-STREAMS package [? ].

The purpose of ventilation is to dilute or remove indoor contaminants that an occupant could be exposed to. It can be provided by mechanical or natural means. ASHRAE Standards including standards 62, 119, and 136 have all considered the contribution of infiltration in various ways, using methods and data from 20 years ago. The vast majority of homes in the United States and indeed the world are...

Groundwater-surface water (GW-SW) interaction lengthens hydraulic residence times, increases contact between solutes and biologically active surfaces, and often creates a gradient of redox conditions conducive to an array of biogeochemical processes. As such, the interaction of hydraulic patterns and biogeochemical activity is suspected to be an important determinant of elemental spiraling in s...

this paper seeks to emphasize the flow variability in the calnistea catchment by analyzing the local physiographic factors. the research has shown that the amount of precipitation that falls to the ground is low, the rocks in the region are soft, but highly permeable, gradients are gentle in most of the territory and vegetal cover is sparse and therefore cannot hold important amounts of water. ...

this commentary reflects upon the article along three broad lines. it reflects on the theoretical choices and omissions, particularly highlighting why it is important to adapt the multiple streams framework (msf) when applying it in a socio-political context like vietnam’s. the commentary also reflects upon the analytical threads tackled by ha et al; for instance, it highlights the opportunitie...

this paper presents an analytical model characterizing unsteady groundwater flow in an unconfined aquifer resting on a sloping impervious bed. the aquifer is in contact with a constant water level at one end. the other end is connected to a stream whose level is increasing form an initial level to a final level at a known exponentially decaying function of time. moreover, the aquifer is repleni...
