1. Abstract: The construction of facial composites by assembling individual facial features is common in criminal investigations. Arguably, the best known such method is E-FIT (electronic facial identication technique). However, although humans have excellent facial recognition ability, it is widely recognised that they often have great difficulty recalling facial characteristics in sufficient ...

The majority of hydraulic processes under a natural condition in a field are carried out under unsaturated flow conditions. The soil moisture retention curve (SMRC) is the most important hydraulic characteristic of an unsaturated soil whose knowledge is of prime importance in soil-water studies such as soil conservation, soil erosion, land evaluation, soil reclamation, and water resources manag...

Let X,, , X, be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with an unknown underlying continuous cumulative distribution function F. Relative to this unknown distribution function suppose one would like to test a null hypothesis concerning the goodness of fit of F to some distribution function using symmetric functions of sample spacings. In some applications the nul...

It seems to be a platitude that belief is governed by a norm of truth. Isn’t the point of belief to believe truths ? Isn’t it a requirement of believing that we should not believe falsehoods? A number of philosophers, however, deny this. Although they recognise that there is an intimate connection between belief and truth, they reject the idea that this connection is normative. Indeed, they tel...

MESERVEY, R., 1971. The coastline fit of Africa and South America. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 9: 233-243. It has become axiomatic that the pre-drift reconstruction of Africa and South America is to be made by fitting together the continental shelves. Although this procedure is very plausible, actually the detailed fit of the coastlines is better than that of the shelves and ...

An improved three-dimensional potential energy surface for the H(2)-Kr system is determined from a direct fit of new infrared spectroscopic data for H(2)-Kr and D(2)-Kr to a potential energy function form based on the exchange-Coulomb model for the intermolecular interaction energy. These fits require repetitive, highly accurate simulations of the observed spectra, and both the strength of the ...

There now exists a practical method (IP) for the routine inversion of S-matrix elements to produce the corresponding potential [1]. It can be applied to spin-1 2 spin-1 projectiles. We survey the ways that the method can be applied in nuclear physics, by inverting S lj derived from theory or from experiment. The IP method can be extended to invert S lj (E) over a range of energies to produce a ...
