Water Source Separation among Co-occurring Plants: An Isotope-ecohydrological Approach

Co-occurring mental disorders among criminal offenders.

Many convicted offenders suffer from major mental disorders. These offenders commit crimes with great frequency. They do not receive mental health care and are often found in isolation cells of correctional facilities. The present investigation examined lifetime multiple disorders, measured by the DIS, among a representative sample of male penitentiary inmates. Pure forms of the major mental di...

The significance of water co-transport for sustaining transpirational water flow in plants: a quantitative approach

In a recent Opinion paper, Wegner (Journal of Experimental Botany 65, 381–392, 2014) adapts a concept developed for water flow in animal tissues to propose a model, which can explain the loading of water into the root xylem against a difference in water potential (Ψ) between the xylem parenchyma cell (more negative Ψ) and the xylem vessel (less negative Ψ). In this model, the transport of water...

An Approach to Blind Source Separation of Speech Signals

In this paper we introduce a new technique for blind source separation of speech signals. We focused on the temporal structure of signals which is not always the case in other major approaches. The idea is to apply the decorrelation method proposed by Molgedey and Schuster in timefrequency domain. We show some results of experiments with artificial data and speech data recorded in the real envi...
