The influence of a uniform driving force on tracer diffusion is investigated for a one-dimensional lattice gas where particles jump stochastically to unoccupied neighboring sites. A new, simple calculation is presented for the diffusion coefficient of a tracer particle with respect to its average drift, obtained recently by rigorous methods by De Masi and Ferrari. A theoretical expression descr...

The European species of Calotelea are reviewed: previously known species are redescribed; two new species are described: Calotelea carbonaria n. sp. and Calotelea laminata n. sp.; and a key to all species is given. Calotelea affinis Kozlov & Kononova is a junior synonym of Calotelea elegans (Masi) syn. nov. and Calotelea ruficollis (Szelényi) is transferred to Calliscelio comb. nov. Calotelea l...

Little work has been done with the African species of Cremnops since their original descriptions. Herein we propose new combinations for five species that are currently placed in Cremnops, i.e., C. atripennis Szépligeti 1914 and C. elegantissima Szépligeti 1908 are moved to Disophrys; C. borealis (Szépligeti 1914) and C. rubrigaster Masi 1944 are moved to Biroia; and C. pulchripennis Szépligeti...

In this paper, we present a hierarchical model, named as Multi-layer Abstract Semantics Inference (MASI), based on Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) to solve the problem of universal image categorization, including typical and zero-shot image categorization. An abstract hierarchical semantics learning method is proposed in the training step by extracting and selecting abstract visual words in a bottom...

melasma is a common acquired skin disorder. while different treatments are currently being used, in many cases it is refractory to treatment. according to the effects of topical steroids in decreasing skin pigmentation, we studied the efficacy of this new method for treatment of melasma. a total of 42 women with facial melasma, admitted to the department of dermatology of hamadan, were enrolled...

Loneliness is the subjective, unpleasant experience of a perceived discrepancy between the quantity and quality of existing relationships (e.g., with spouse, children, friends) and the relationships one wishes (De Jong Gierveld, Van Tilburg, & Dykstra, 2006; Perlman & Peplau, 1981). Loneliness has to be differentiated from social isolation that concerns the objective characteristics of a situat...
