An experimental study of the response to an impulsive driver in a low beta helium plasma is presented. Field line resonance ~FLR! spectra are recorded and compared to an ideal magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! theory with finite ion cyclotron frequency corrections. The agreement between observed and predicted values is generally within the frequency resolution of the measurements except for the lowest ...

Infrared spectroscopy is used to probe the dynamics of in vitro samples of DNA prepared as solutions and as solid unoriented films. The lowest frequency DNA mode identified in the far-infrared spectra of the DNA samples is found to shift in frequency when the solvent influence in the hydration shell is altered. The lowest frequency mode also has characteristics that are similar to beta-relaxati...

We care not only about the value of the minimum element, but also about the index k of the minimum element between A[i] and A[j]; given the index, it is easy to look up the actual value of the minimum element, so it is a more interesting problem to find the index of the minimum element between A[i] and A[j]. The range minimum query problem is not a tree problem, but it closely related to a tree...

aquatic invertebrates are the major group of freshwater animals in aquatic ecosystems in terms of biology and food chain. this study was conducted to identify benthic communities in four stations of the abgarmeh river (saleh abad, the ilam province) during 2007-2008. in this study eighteen families of benthose such as naididae, tubificidae, lumbricidae, erpobdellidae, gammaridae, haliplidae, co...

Computing least common subsumers in description logics is an important reasoning service useful for a number of applications. As shown in the literature, it can, for instance, be used for similarity-based information retrieval where information retrieval is performed on the basis of the similarities of user-specified examples. In this article, we first show that, for crisp DLs, in certain cases...

Fitch graphs G = (X,E) are di-graphs that are explained by {⊗, 1}-edge-labeled rooted trees with leaf set X: there is an arc xy ∈ E if and only if the unique path in T that connects the least common ancestor lca(x, y) of x and y with y contains at least one edge with label 1. In practice, Fitch graphs represent xenology relations, i.e., pairs of genes x and y for which a horizontal gene transfe...

For EL the least common subsumer (lcs) need not exist, if computed w.r.t. general TBoxes. In case the role-depth of the lcs concept description is bounded, an approximate solution can be obtained. In this paper we extend the completion-based method for computing such approximate solutions to ELI and EL+. For ELI the extension needs to be able to treat complex node labels. For EL+ a naive method...

Before embarking into the technicalities of the different algorithms for LCA, let us first agree on the terminology that we will be using throughout this article. Let there be a rooted tree T(E,V). A node x ∈ T is called an ancestor of a node y ∈ T if the path from the root of T to y goes through x. Also, a node v ∈ T is called to be a common ancestor of x and y if it is an ancestor of both x a...

The number and nature of spatial channels tuned to low spatial frequencies in photopic vision was examined by measuring individual differences in the contrast sensitivity functions (CSFs) of seven visually normal adults. Stationary, 51 cd/m2, low spatial frequency sinusoidal gratings between 0.27 and 2.16 c/deg were used as stimuli. Correlational and factor analyses revealed that the set of CSF...
