The extragalactic applications of NIR surveys are summarized with a focus on the ability to map the interstellar extinction of our Galaxy. Very preliminary extraction of galaxies on a set of 180 consecutive images is presented, and the results illustrate some of the pitfalls in attempting an homogeneous extraction of galaxies from these wide-angle and shallow surveys.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Prosodic Structuring and the Syntax-Prosody Relationship in Political Speech Studies on the prosodic structure of French recognize the existence of different types of prosodic constituents. These constituents differ from each other in the way in which they are constructed and realized. Gene...

The extraction of the keywords that characterize a document in a given collection is one of the most important components of an Information Retrieval system. In this article, we propose to apply shallow parsing, implemented by means of cascades of finite-state transducers, to extract complex index terms based on an approximated grammar of Spanish. The coverage of the grammar is small but it all...

We introduce the method of punctured containers, which geometrically relates volumes and centroids of complicated solids to those of simpler punctured prismatic solids. This method goes to the heart of some of the basic properties of the sphere, and extends them in natural and significant ways to solids assembled from cylindrical wedges (Archimedean domes) and to more general solids, especially...

Three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic simulations are carried out to explore magnetic reconnections in the presence of 3D nulls and quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs). The initial fields created by superposing uniform vertical two different magnitudes on a linear force-free field. interior numerical box contains with separatrix domes separated quasi-separator (or hyperbolic flux tube) QSLs. In...

In maize growing technologies, tillage technological operations are the most time-consuming and require the greatest fuel input. Substitution of conventional tillage, involving deep ploughing, by other reduced tillage methods can reduce technological production costs, diminish soil degradation and environmental pollution from greenhouse gas emissions, as well as improve economic competitiveness...

Abstract Monolayers (MLs) of transition‐metal dichalcogenides host efficient single‐photon emitters (SPEs) usually associated to the presence nanoscale mechanical deformations or strain. Large‐scale spatial control strain would enhance scalability such SPEs and allow for their incorporation into photonic structures. Here, formation regular arrays strained hydrogen‐filled one‐layer‐thick micro‐d...

Small-scale domes with circumferential aprons and concentric aureoles in western Arcadia Planitia (34–41°N, 167–179°E) near Tyndall crater were examined using a suite of datasets including CRISM, THEMIS IR, HiRISE, CTX. Previous studies based primarily on photogeologic evidence suggested that these analogous to terrestrial felsic cryptodomes extrusive lava domes. The have also been CRISM visibl...
