This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes the state of understanding of the influence of grain size on surf zone sediment transport and is a companion to Smith et al. (2004). This CHETN discusses details of bed-load and suspended load transport, and the classical bed-load regime is shown to encompass two distinct modes of transport. Four LST models with varying le...

In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones...

This paper describes the methods we have employed to solve the author profiling task at PAN-2013. Our goal was to use simple features to identify the age group and the gender of the author of a given text. We introduce the features, detail how the classifiers were trained, and how the experiments were run.

Abstract Using the numerical analysis of force balance equation and rheological model finitely extensible chains, dynamics a charged jet during electrospinning polymer solution orientation macromolecules in are studied. In fairly weak electric fields, always remains rectilinear, while strong fields straight section has finite length, after which motion becomes unstable. This behavior is due to ...

The problem of the distribution of dairy products, which is classified as a combinatorial optimization problem, cannot be solved in polynomial time. In this paper, an algorithm based on Ant Colony Hybrid meta-heuristic system and Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to find a near-optimal solution to this problem. Using the former method, the nearest neighbor heuristic algorithm was use...

The objectives of this effort are to determine the extent to which Doppler radar techniques can be exploited for both qualitative and quantitative nearshore measurement applications. Of particular interest are estimates of surf zone location, extent, surface currents, and wave parameters. To date, optical (video) techniques have been the primary remote sensing technology for these applications....

In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the facebook cookbook building applications to grow your facebook empire book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books. Mostly, it will relate to their necessity to get knowledge from the book and want to read just to get entertainment. Novels, story book, and other entertaining books bec...

This study examines the phenomenon of cyberbullying on Facebook and how it is related to school bullying among secondary school students in Singapore, aged 13–17. We also focus on generic use of Facebook and risky Facebook behaviors as the predictors of cyberbullying and victimization on Facebook. 1676 secondary students, from two secondary schools, participated in a pen and paper survey. The f...
