Let I = {φj}j=1 be an iterated function system (IFS) consisting of a family of contractive affine maps on Rd. Hutchinson [8] proved that there exists a unique compact set K = K(I), called the attractor of the IFS I, such that K = ⋃m j=1 φj(K). Moreover, for any given probability vector p = (p1, . . . , pm), i.e. pj > 0 for all j and ∑m j=1 pj = 1, there exists a unique compactly supported proba...

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operates the Integrated Forecasting System aerosol module (IFS-AER) to provide daily global analysis and forecast of aerosols Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). New estimates sea salt emissions have been implemented in IFS-AER using a new parameterization whitecap fraction as function wind speed surface temperature. ef...

A computational environment is being developed that aims at integrating --within a single mathematical/numerical framework --PDE's of global atmospheric dynamics. The paper reports an essential step towards this goal. It presents massively-parallel non-oscillatory forward-in-time finite-volume integrators for hydrostatic PDE's on the sphere, cast in the anholonomic geospherical framework. Spati...

The in-plane optical anisotropy (IPOA) in InAs/GaSb superlattices has been studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS) at different temperatures ranging from 80 to 300 K. We introduce alternate GaAs- and InSb-like interfaces (IFs), which cause the symmetry reduced from D 2d to C 2v . IPOA has been observed in the (001) plane along [110] and [1[Formula: see text]0] axes. RDS measurement...

The installable file system (IFS) facility on OS/2 offers an efficient mechanism for expanding the abilities of the OS/2 kernel. Two prototypes illustrate the usefulness of the IFS facility. An OS/2 port of the Andrew File System (AFS) allows users to access global community files while retaining the private local tile system on the OS/2 machine. An IFS implementation of a network protocol mapp...

ISHII, M., MIYAZAKI, Y., OTSUKI, M., SUZUKI, H. and GoTo, Y. The Intermediate Filaments in Human Hepatocytes. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 147 (4), 317329 The intermediate filaments (IFs) in human hepatocytes were studied in biopsy specimens from patients with minimal histological changes. They were clearly visualized three-dimensionally by using polyethylene-glycol-embedding method after washing...

Much effort has been expended on analyzing how microfilament and microtubule cytoskeletons dictate the interaction of cells with matrix at adhesive sites called focal adhesions (FAs). However, vimentin intermediate filaments (IFs) also associate with the cell surface at FAs in endothelial cells. Here, we show that IF recruitment to FAs in endothelial cells requires beta3 integrin, plectin and t...

In this paper we contribute to the terminological debate about Atanassov’s use of the term “Intuitionistic” in defining his structure based on orthopairs of fuzzy sets. In particular we stress that it is defined as “intuitionistic” a negation which from one side does not satisfy a standard property of the intuitionistic Brouwer negation (contradiction law) and on the contrary asserts some princ...

Standard fractal image compression techniques rely on using an IFS operator directly on the image function. However, sometimes it is more convenient to work on some transformed version of the image. For example, an MRI image is scanned in as frequency data. Thus, it is more natural to work on the Fourier Transform of the image rather than on the image itself. Furthermore, if your image quality ...

We introduce the concept of Baire embeddings and we classify them up to C conjugacies. We show that two such embeddings are Cequivalent if and only if they have exponentially equivalent geometries. Next, we introduce the class of IFS-like Baire embeddings and we also show that two Hölder equivalent IFS-like Baire embeddings are C conjugate if and only if their scaling functions are the same. In...
