le mouvement transversal de la locomotive ou des wagons , appele ie lacet, provient de deux causes principales: -la conicite des bandages -les irregularites de la voie dans ie plan horizontal. on se propose ici d'etudier la premiere cause , ce qui nous conduit a une equation differentielle non lineaire du deuxieme ordre. • l'equation en question est etudiee dans plusieurs cas difftten...

We design and release BONIE, the first open numerical relation extractor, for extracting Open IE tuples where one of the arguments is a number or a quantity-unit phrase. BONIE uses bootstrapping to learn the specific dependency patterns that express numerical relations in a sentence. BONIE’s novelty lies in task-specific customizations, such as inferring implicit relations, which are clear due ...

The long-term goals are to develop novel techniques to measure and predict, through modeling, the effect of sound on the marine environment. Modeling includes acoustic sources, propagation and the interaction of sound with animal behavior models. Determining the necessary environmental information such as bathymetry, sound speed and seabed properties for accurate modeling is also an essential c...

Nilsson et al. have recently shown how a velocity field in geostrophic and hydrostatic balance in an f -plane may be diagnosed from prescribed distributions of buoyancy and wind stress, in a basin with closed isobaths. I extend their analysis to cover basins with more complex depth contours, treating in particular the behavior of the flow in the presence of a saddle point.

Possessing accurate, spatial and current data on the water levels and the depths are necessary for anticipation and better management of coastal and continental waters. Among the remote sensing techniques to monitor the water bathymetry and altimetry, the LIDAR appears as an adapted and promising technique, already proven on airborne platforms, because of its potential accuracy, spatial resolut...

The autoimmune nature of this disease has been defi ned, in part...

Recent fineand microstructure observations indicate enhanced finescale shear and strain in conjunction with bottom intensified turbulent dissipation above regions of rough bathymetry. Such observations implicate the bottom boundary as an energy source for the finescale internal wavefield. They also pose a question. Can the vertical profile of turbulent dissipation be predicted from a model of w...

conclusions endocarditis is an important disease with a high mortality rate if not treated appropriately. therefore, these patients need more attention. in echocardiography, vegetation and complications of ie such as abscess and paravalvular leakage can be detected. results we studied 35 patients, 45% male and 55% female with a mean age of 56.36 ± 12.44 years. fever (80%) and chills (65.7%) wer...

The interaction between the hydrodynamics and complex bathymetry can produce highly heterogeneous and locally energetic flows, e.g., in a tidal inlet dominated by tidal flow and wave-current interaction. Consequently, the morphological evolution around such tidal inlet also becomes very dynamic. These two factors cause concerns over navigation safety especially in areas where routine surveys ar...

Bathymetry on continental hydrographic networks is up to now limited to small areas. This hampers exhaustive hydrological or ecological studies on hydrographic networks at management scales. To enlarge rivers bathymetry surveys, bathymetric, i.e. green LiDAR appears as an interesting tool. But if this technique has been widely used for coastal surveys, very few studies focus on water depth meas...
