Fig. 1. Plot of the magnitude of the velocity (upper left) and axial component (x-direction) of the stress (upper right) of a steady viscoelastic fluid flow in a simple planar channel with an enlargement (motivated by a simple model of a small arterial aneurysm). This component of the stress is the most pronounced at the entrance and exit of the enlargement. The magnitude of the shear stress (c...

BACKGROUND The divergent glacial histories of southern and northern Europe affect present-day species diversity at coarse-grained scales in these two regions, but do these effects also penetrate to the more fine-grained scales of local communities? METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We carried out a cross-scale analysis to address this question for vascular plants in two mountain regions, the Alp...

Humans, as social beings, are capable of employing various behavioral cues, such as gaze, speech, manual action, and body posture, in everyday communication. However, to extract finegrained interaction patterns in social contexts has been presented with methodological challenges. Cross-Recurrence Plot Quantification Analysis (CRQA) is an analysis method invented in theoretical physics and recen...

Collateral texts of different genre can describe the same filmed story, e.g. audio description and plot summaries. We deal with the challenge of cross-document coreference for events by matching verb attributes. Cross document coreference is the task of deciding whether two linguistic descriptions from different sources refer to the same event. This is important for reliable information integra...

Clustering is an important data exploration task. A prominent clustering algorithm is agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Roughly, in each iteration, it merges the closest pair of clusters. It was rst proposed way back in 1951, and since then there have been numerous mod-iications. Some of its good features are: a natural, simple, and non-parametric grouping of similar objects which is capab...

in order to find the most appropriate planting patter and cultivar of grain corn, an experiment was conducted in agriculture research station of jiroft and kahnooj, iran for two years in 2007 and 2008 as a split-plot experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the main plot was planting patter at four levels of normal planting (single-row on one furrow), dou...

The relationship between tracer velocities and wave or wetting front celerities is essential to understand water flowing from hillslopes to the stream. The connection between maximum velocity and celerities estimated by means of experimental techniques has not been explored. To assess the pattern of infiltrating water front and dominant flow direction, we performed sprinkling experiments at a t...
