The saturation of the tearing mode in a plasma column is investigated in the framework of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics approximation. In particular, a perturbative procedure is adopted to evaluate the structure of the magnetic island in three relevant physical conditions, depending on the model for the evolution of the resistivity, which may be affected by the growth of the mode. In cylin...

The tuna resources of the Western and Central Pacific are the world's largest and most valuable fisheries of their type and are of significant economic importance to the Pacific island countries through whose waters they migrate. Two major concerns exist with the current governance of the fishery. First, Pacific island countries are receiving only a small share of the resource rents from the tu...

The Island is a k nearest neighbor query algorithm of moving objects based on road networks and can effectively balance the performance of query and update. But the algorithm doesn’t consider the direction of moving object which is required in many scenarios. It traverses vertexes from all directions, meaning wasting a lot of time in visiting useless vertexes. Besides, it doesn’t return query p...

freshwater lens on small islands may easily be overexploited or polluted due to overdrafts of fresh water by pumping which causes drawdown of the water table a rise or up-coning of the saltwater interface. present study is concerned with using a three-dimensional finite-difference numerical model to simulate the groundwater flow and transport model to predict the behavior of groundwater system ...

The present paper aims at describing the most relevant background data on geomorphological, economic, ethnohistoric, demographic and linguistic features of the island of Vis. As an introduction to future holistic anthropological research on the island, it seeks to identify both internal and external impulses of change and/or continuity of the island population structure within a wider socio-cul...

Congenital cleft palate causes a serious obstacle to children with regard to language and eating function. The aim of the current study was to examine the clinical application of a type of palatoplasty that has a reduced impact on the maxillary growth and good function in velopharyngeal competence. A total of 37 patients with cleft palate were treated with levator veli palatini retropositioning...

1) An accretionary prism with a constant width of approximately 75 km does exist; 2) The morphology of this prism varies rapidly along the arc and is linked, firstly to the morphology and structure of the upper part of the dipping plate and, secondly to the presence of volcanic island acting as sediment sources; The island arc and its connecting structural features such as troughs at the rear o...

We study the configurational structure of the point-island model for epitaxial growth in one dimension. In particular, we calculate the island gap and capture zone distributions. Our model is based on an approximate description of nucleation inside the gaps. Nucleation is described by the joint probability density p(n)(XY)(x,y), which represents the probability density to have nucleation at pos...

Deposition of manganese onto the gallium-rich, nitrogen-polar GaN(000 1) surface results in the formation of quantum-height island structures. Two unique island heights differing by one atomic layer are observed, including 0.93 nm high islands which are unstable against the formation of 1.13 nm high islands. A row structure at the islands’ surface suggests a mixture of Mn and Ga, while growth o...
