Tectonic processes are major factors controlling landform development in tectonically active areas. In order to evaluate quantitative measurement of tectonic activities in the Alamarvdasht basin in the south of Iran, six different morphological indices including stream-gradient index (SL), drainage basin asymmetry (Af), hypsometric integral (Hi), valley floor width-valley height ratio (Vf), dra...

Metabolomics is an emerging method to improve our understanding of how genetic diversity affects phenotypic variation in plants. Recent studies have demonstrated that genotype has a major influence on biochemical variation in several types of plant tissues, however, the association between metabolic variation and variation in morphological and physiological traits is largely unknown. Sorghum bi...

The Mediterranean climate prevailing on the coastal belt of the Mediterranean Sea undergoes to change toward the inner part of the Anatolia in accordance with the increase of altitude, mountain range barriers, the tectonic structure of the region, and tectonic-karstic depressions. Continentality also plays a critical role in the micro-climates that prevail across the various eco-regions. This s...

The aim of this study was to present a new working memory test following the line of work started by García-Madruga et al. (2007) and to examine its relation to reading comprehension and propositional reasoning measures. In that study we designed a new working memory span test--based on Daneman & Carpenter's (1980) Reading Span Test (RST)--in which the processing task called for an inferential ...

This article describes possibilities of using OntoLex as a model for creating an ontology of morpho-syntactic properties of the Russian language. For this purpose we analysed morpho-syntactic properties of Russian, given in LexInfo and then extended it with grammatical categories that are not represented or that are not correctly defined in LexInfo. The introduced supplements and adjustments en...

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging for morphologically rich languages normally requires the use of handcrafted features that encapsulate clues about the language’s morphology. In this work, we tackle Portuguese POS tagging using a deep neural network that employs a convolutional layer to learn character-level representation of words. We apply the network to three different corpora: the original Mac-M...

Tropical Morpho butterfl ies are known for their iridescence. [ 1 ] Extensive research has been dedicated to analyzing the nanoscale architecture of Morpho butterfl y wings to understand their brilliant blue or white–purple iridescence The wing scales of Morpho butterfl ies contain 3D nanostructures that produce blue iridescent colors. Incident light is diffracted from multilayered nanostructur...

Introduction: An understanding of the spatial and azimuthal distribution of lobate scarps on Mercury is important in constraining thermal history models and models for the origin of tectonic stresses [see 1]. Existing models involve either global (radial) contraction due to secular cooling of the interior, tidal despinning, or a combination of the two [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. A comprehensive database o...

The aim of the study was to determine the structure of morpho-functional models that determine the level of sports performance in three consecutive stages of training of young badminton players. In the course of the study, 3 groups of young badminton players were examined: 40 preadolescents aged 11-13, 32 adolescents aged 14-16, and 24 adolescents aged 17-19. The scope of the study involved bas...
