The transmission of the filter FQCH4N-D varies by 20 percent across the filter while the mean wavelength shifts by 3 nm. For objects with a flat spectrum across the main bandpass (889–897 nm), the flatfielding removes the spatial variations except for the outer corner, for which we give the necessary photometric correction. On the other hand, for objects with steep spectral features within the ...

Identifying pathways that animals use to move among ecosystems has become a focus for improving conservation planning. The function of habitat corridors in facilitating animal movement among terrestrial ecosystems is well established. By contrast, the role of habitat corridors for the movement of marine animals is poorly understood. We used underwater video cameras to evaluate the effects of se...

Stationary processes of k-flats in Ed can be thought of as point processes on the Grassmannian L k of k-dimensional subspaces of Ed . If such a process is sampled by a (d − k ...

The tropical variety defined by linear equations with constant coefficients is the Bergman fan of the corresponding matroid. Building on a self-contained introduction to matroid polytopes, we present a geometric construction of the Bergman fan, and we discuss its relationship with the simplicial complex of nested sets in the lattice of flats. The Bergman complex is triangulated by the nested se...

Buildings are responsible for a large fraction of the world’s total electrical consumption. Energy awareness of residents, by means of timely electrical consumption feedback through smart metering, aims to reduce the waste of energy. Further savings can be achieved by leveraging social norms and entertainment to drive sustainable behavior. In this paper, we investigate two important pillars in ...

Properly embedded simplices in a convex divisible domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R} \textrm{P}^d$ behave somewhat like flats Riemannian manifolds, so we call them flats. We show that the set of codimension-$1$ has image which is finite collection disjoint virtual $(d-1)$-tori compact quotient manifold. If this tori non-empty, then components its complement are cusped projective manifolds with t...

This study aimed to obtain information on the diversity and distribution of endophytic fungi in Ramsar wetlands. Vast salt marshes Suncheon Bay, Korea, are formed by two types ecotones (tidal flats deltas) that supported emersed halophytes Phragmites australis Suaeda japonica. Overall, 324 endophytes were isolated from P. (six sampling points delta five tidal flats) S. japonica flats). Margalef...

Motivated by a recent investigation of Costakis et al. on the notion recurrence in linear dynamics, we study various stronger forms for operators, particular that frequent recurrence. We study, among other things, relationship between type and corresponding hypercyclicity, influence power boundedness, interplay spectral properties. obtain, particular, Ansari- L\'eon-M\"uller-type theorems $\mat...
