We investigated contemporary and historical influences on the pattern of genetic diversity of European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). The study was conducted in northeastern Poland, a zone where vast areas of primeval forests are conserved and where the European roe deer was never driven to extinction. A total of 319 unique samples collected in three sampling areas were genotyped at 16 microsa...

The reinforcement omission effect (ROE) has been attributed to both motivational and attentional consequences of surprising reinforcement omission. Recent evidence suggests that the basolateral complex of the amygdala is involved in motivational components related to reinforcement value, whereas the central nucleus of the amygdala is involved in the processing of the attentional consequences of...

The experimental and theoretical evidence relating spin dependence and long range confinement is reviewed. One of the simplest confinement ideas, the dynamic electric flux tube picture of Buchmüller, can be exploited to yield a complete effective Hamiltonian. In addition to pure Thomas spin-orbit splitting the other relativistic corrections are calculated. It is shown that our effective Hamilto...

This exploratory work tries to present first results of a novel approach for the numerical approximation of solutions of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws. The objective is to define stable and “reasonably” accurate numerical schemes while being free from any upwind process and from any computation of derivatives or mean Jacobian matrices. That means that we only want to perform flux eval...

We construct a Riemann solver based on two-dimensional linear wave contributions to the numerical flux that generalizes the one-dimensional method due to Roe (1981, J. Comput. Phys. 43, 157). The solver is based on a multistate Riemann problem and is suitable for arbitrary triangular grids or any other finite volume tessellations of the plane. We present numerical examples illustrating the perf...

The purpose of this study is to model the flow movement in an idealized dam-break configuration. One-dimensional and two-dimensional motion of a shallow flow over a rigid inclined bed is considered. The resulting shallow water equations are solved by finite volumes using the Roe and HLL schemes. At first, the one-dimensional model is considered in the development process. With conservative fini...
