Abstract Locally refined B-spline (LRB) surfaces provide a representation that is well suited to scattered data approximation. When set has local details in some areas and largely smooth elsewhere, LR B-splines allow the spatial distribution of degrees freedom follow variations set. An LRB surface approximating where accuracy does not meet required tolerance. In this paper we address, systemati...

Air hujan sebelum mencapai permukaan tanah, tertahan oleh vegetasi maupun sampah yang menumpuk di tanah. dapat tanah jika permukaannya tidak kedap air, bergerak masuk ke dalam dengan gaya gravitasi dan kapiler suatu aliran disebut infiltrasi (Seyhan, 1990). Dengan infiltrasi, limpasan akan terkendali. Lubang resapan biopori (LRB) berperan sebagai pintu bagi air untuk LRB diisi organik memancing...

We illustrate two different, but complementary, applications of lithium (Li) isotope tracers for river-basin characterization at different scales within the Loire River basin (LRB) in France. The first example deals with behaviour Li and fractionation its isotopes during river weathering scale LRB (117,800 km2). wide ?7Li range (+5.0 to +13.3‰) streams, spatialized between headwaters lowlands, ...

I will refer to the results appearing in the paper " Semigroups, rings, and Markov chains " by the numbers under which they appear in this paper (specifically , in its version of 20 June 2000, which appears on arXiv as preprint arXiv:math/0006145v1). Errata • Page 1, §1: " explcitly " → " explicitly ". • Page 3, §1.4: Replace " q-elements " by " q elements ". (The hyphen should not be there.) •...

Although Lebanon has the highest mean annual rainfall of all Middle Eastern countries, it is affected by water stress, negatively impacting agricultural food production, energy generation, and undermine ecosystem functions. The Bekaa area, where upper Litani River Basin (LRB) located, suffers serious quality quantity problems, which threaten productivity public health. Most domestic industrial ...

In 1969, Douglas Coleman joined the bodies of an obese and a normal mouse by a procedure called parabiosis. Days later, the normal mouse starved. Something had taken away its desire to eat [1]. It was not until almost 25 years later that the true nature of what Coleman then called "satiety factor" was revealed. In 1994, Jeffrey Friedman identified the adipocytic hormone leptin [2,3] and it was ...

Base-isolated structures achieve superior seismic performance but with the cost of large deformation base floor, which possibly causes superstructure collapse during severe earthquakes. Hence, it is great interest to develop hybrid isolation systems that can reduce and simultaneously improve superstructure’s performance. Recently, several using inerter-based dampers have emerged; however, nonli...
