this paper proposes an extension of markov chain model to characterize of geological formations and to make conditioning on any number of well data possible. in this study, lithofacies cycles of the amiran formation at type and pirshamsedin sections are examined by markov method and entropy analysis as well as field observations, and depositional environment has interpreted by proposed ideal se...

A packet scheduler is an operating system component that controls the allocation of network interface bandwidth to outgoing network flows. By deciding which packet to send next, packet schedulers not only determine how bandwidth is shared among flows, but also play a key role in determining the rate and timing behavior of individual flows. The recent explosion of rate and timing-sensitive flows...

in the industrial area of elefsis, greece, aerosol samples from the atmosphere were collected using a stacked filter unit sampler, which separates the airborne particulate matter into coarse (pm2.5-10) and fine (pm2.5) size fractions. the samples collected during the period january 2005 to march 2006, were analyzed by anodic stripping voltammetry (asv) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emis...

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are dangerous flows of volcanic rock and gas that the most deadly proximal volcano hazard. There is significant interest in better understanding PDC dynamics, however, they challenging to study due their extreme hazard, unpredictable occurrence, because complex internal dynamics obscured by visually opaque clouds ash. PDCs exert forces on Earth's surface gene...

This paper investigates the relation between mutual fund flows and the real economy. The findings of this paper support the theory that the positive co-movement of flows into equity funds and stock market returns is explained by a common response to macroeconomic news. Variables that predict the real economy as well as the equity premium – in particular dividend-price ratio, default spread, rel...

Routers in the network core are unable to maintain detailed statistics for every packet; thus, traffic statistics are often based on packet sampling, which reduces accuracy. Because tracking large (“heavy-hitter”) traffic flows is important both for pricing and for traffic engineering, much attention has focused on maintaining accurate statistics for such flows, often at the expense of small-vo...

Analysis of flows such as human movement can help spatial planners better understand territorial patterns in urban environments. In this paper, we describe FlowSampler, an interactive visual interface designed for spatial planners to gather, extract and analyse human flows in geolocated social media data. Our system adopts a graph-based approach to infer movement pathways from spatial point typ...

A multi-block overset grid method is presented to accurately simulate viscous flows around complex configurations. A combination of multi-block and overlapping grids is used to discretize the flow domain. A hierarchical grid system with layers of grids of varying resolution is developed to ensure inter-grid connectivity within a framework suitable for multi-grid and parallel computations. At ea...
