Determining local natural scales of curves
An alternative to representing curves at a single scale or a fixed number of multiple scales is to represent them only at Ž . their natural i.e. most significant scales. This allows all the important information concerning the different sized structures contained in the curve to be explicitly represented without the overhead of redundant representations of the curve. This paper describes severa...
متن کاملEvolution on ecological time-scales
1. Ecologically significant evolutionary change, occurring over tens of generations or fewer, is now widely documented in nature. These findings counter the long-standing assumption that ecological and evolutionary processes occur on different time-scales, and thus that the study of ecological processes can safely assume evolutionary stasis. Recognition that substantial evolution occurs on ecol...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Heat Exchanger Scales in Cooling Water Systems
An experimental database is compiled in order to fingerprint the scales formed over the hot surfaces of heat exchangers, in cooling water systems or other systems with similar chemistry. To collect these data, a dynamic simulating pilot plant was designed with considerable application flexibility among which simultaneous flow of water with different velocity and heat fluxes to three simulat...
متن کاملDetermining optimal scales in studies of JPSSM
Typically, when using existing scales, researchers conduct a confirmatory factor analysis and estimate reliability indices such as Cronbach alpha. Results are then used to select items that are subsequently incorporated in models. However, this process is inefficient as results from several studies consistently indicate that certain factors have low factor loadings. This study addressed this is...
متن کاملScales in natural language
The meaning of a wide variety of natural language expressions can be stated in terms of degrees on scales. This paper provides an overview of the contribution of scales to linguistic meaning. I discuss the ontology of scales, survey the role of scalarity within and across languages, and summarize recent research into the linguistically relevant features of scales, with the goal of developing a ...
