Intensive wave reflection occurs when the wavelengths of incident waves and bottom undulations are in a 2:1 ratio. Existing studies have included Bragg resonance phenomenon passing over continuous undulating parallel to oblique shoreline. More generally, mechanism is used as means coastal protection, rather than power generation. To focus energy specific area, here, we propose sinusoidal sandba...

Interferometric near-infrared spectroscopy (iNIRS) is a new technique that measures time-of-flight- (TOF-) resolved autocorrelations in turbid media, enabling simultaneous estimation of optical and dynamical properties. Here, we demonstrate reflectance-mode iNIRS for noninvasive monitoring of a mouse brain in vivo. A method for more precise quantification with less static interference from supe...

In the past decade it became customary to relate the probability of appearance of extremely steep (the socalled freak, or rogue waves) to the value of the BenjaminFeir Index (BFI) that represents the ratio of wave nonlinearity to the spectral width. This ratio appears naturally in the cubic Schrödinger equation that describes evolution of unidirectional narrow-banded wave field. The notion of t...

the aim of this research was to explain the relationship betweenpersonality big five factors and job burnout in employees of ministry ofsport and youth of iran. 162 employees completed the maslach burnoutinventory (mbi) and big five inventory (bfi). mbi with 22 items assessedthree dimensions of job burnout and bfi with 44 items assessed the fivedimensions of personality. cronbach's alpha c...

In order to evaluate the nomological network of associations between psychopathy and its sub-dimensions, and Big Five domains and dispositional aggression in adolescence, and its consistency across gender-based sub-groups, 1253 Italian high school students (F = 429, M = 824) were administered the Italian translations of the Youth Psychopathic Traits Inventory (YPI), Big Five Inventory (BFI) and...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the metric properties of distinct measures of psychological personal factors comprising feelings, beliefs, motives, and patterns of experience and behaviour assessed in the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort Study (SwiSCI), using Rasch methodology. METHODS SwiSCI Pathway 2 is a community-based, nationwide, cross-sectional survey for persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) (n ...

BACKGROUND Non-invasive imaging of the biodistribution of novel therapeutics including gene therapy vectors in animal models is essential. METHODS This study assessed the utility of high-frequency ultrasound (HF-US) combined with biofluoresence imaging (BFI) to determine the longitudinal impact of a Herpesvirus saimiri amplicon on human colorectal cancer xenograft growth. RESULTS HF-US imag...

Hydrological investigation for major Java rivers remains research challenge todays, particularly in identification of runoff characteristics situated monsoonal climate. This study aims to investigate the value baseflow index Bengawan Solo river. We employed daily streamflow data period 1980-2010 derive (BFI) based on smoothed minima. utilized different approaches comprising non-overlapping 3 da...

This study presents a novel performance metric for feature selection algorithms that is unbiased and can be used comparative analysis across problems. The baseline fitness improvement (BFI) measure quantifies the potential value gained by applying selection. BFI to compare of datasets measuring change in classifier as result selection, with respect where all features are included. Empirical res...

Baseflow plays a critical role in maintaining the aquatic environmental health. However, driving factors and predictions of baseflow have not been rigorously investigated on large scale, partly preventing hydrologist from deeply understanding runoff generation. To this end, Lyne–Hollick digital filter method automatic identification technique were used to estimate long-term seasonal index (BFI)...
