Deriving the Initial Mass Function and the Star Formation Rate (hereafter IMF and SFR) history of disc stars from local data implies assumptions concerning the vertical structure of the disc. Conversely, an accurate description of the vertical density of the stellar disc would require a precise knowledge of the stellar formation history. In this paper, the constraints available from local data ...

In the current study, five different atomistic water models (AWMs) are implemented, In order to investigate the impact of AWMs treatment on the water velocity profile and density number. For this purpose, Molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) of Poiseuille flow in a nano-channel is conducted. Considered AWMs are SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4PFQ and TIP5P. To assessment of the ability of each model in...

This study is to evaluate the sensitivity of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD τ) to aerosol vertical profile and type, using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) collection 6 algorithm over land. Four experiments were performed, using different aerosol properties including 3 possible non-dust aerosol models and 14 vertical distributions. The algorithm intrinsic uncertainty was in...

We consider changepoint detection in a process in which the observed points are profiles: large sets of functionally related points (x, y). Few changepoint detection methods have been proposed that don’t rely in some capacity on the assumption that the observational errors are normally distributed. In this paper, a nonparametric distribution-free wavelet method is proposed for monitoring for ch...
