abstract scaling methods, which are based on similar media theory, are used to simplify the statistic description of soil spatial variations. to simulate the water flow in heterogeneous soils, simultaneous scaling of soil hydraulic functions, including soil water retention and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity functions, is highly desirable. in the similar media theory, the simultaneous scalin...

in this work we deal with the question: how can one improve the approximation level for some nonlinear integral equations? good candidates for this aim are semi orthogonal b-spline scaling functions and their duals. although there are different works in this area, only b-spline of degree at most 2 are used for this approximation. here we compute b-spline scaling functions of degree 4 and their ...

in this paper, we characterize multiresolution analysis(mra) parseval frame multiwavelets in l^2(r^d) with matrix dilations of the form (d f )(x) = sqrt{2}f (ax), where a is an arbitrary expanding dtimes d matrix with integer coefficients, such that |deta| =2. we study a class of generalized low pass matrix filters that allow us to define (and construct) the subclass of mra tight frame multiwav...

abstract to estimate spatial variability of soil hydraulic functions, scaling methods were developed and have been widely used. among these functions, physically based methods have been found more desirable because of possibility of estimating soil hydraulic functions from soil physical properties. in this paper, a new and physically based method has been described for scaling soil hydraulic co...

In this paper we start with Meyer-Ter-Vehn isobaric fusion model and try to reconstruct all equations by introducing a dimensionless variable ?i=ri/Rm. Then we investigate the proper sets of spark confinement parameter and temperature {Hs,Ts} which satisfy ignition conditions of spark ignition in deuterium-tritium (DT) equimolar mixture in terms of isentrope parameter, ?, implosion velocity, Ui...

the arya and paris model is a commonly accepted method to translate a particle-size distribution curve into a corresponding soil moisture characteristic curve using scaling parameter (α). the scaling parameter, in the original model of arya and paris (1981), was assumed constant (α=1.38) for all soil texture classes. in recent years, several studies have shown that α is not constant and its qua...
