The properties of wavelet transform, viz. the ability to identify and efficiently represent temporal/spatial coherent flow structures, self-adaptiveness, and de-noising, have made them attractive candidates for constructing multi-resolution variable fidelity schemes for simulations of turbulence [10]. Stochastic Coherent Adaptive Large Eddy Simulation (SCALES) [6] is the most recent wavelet-bas...

Knowledge representation and reasoning in real-world applications often require to integrate multiple aspects of space. In this paper, we focus our attention on the so-called Rectangular Cardinal Direction calculus for qualitative spatial reasoning on cardinal relations between rectangles whose sides are aligned to the axes of the plane. We first show how to extend a tractable fragment of such ...

Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) and TDI-derived strain provide considerably accurate information in the non-invasive assessment of local myocardial functions. Given its high temporal and spatial resolution, TDI allows assessment of local myocardial functions in each phase of cardiac cycle. However, the most important limitation of this method is its angle dependence. New techniques to measure myoc...

Do established predictors of children’s arithmetic performance differentially predict performance on timed versus untimed calculation tests? We investigated phonological awareness (i.e., CTOPP), phonological working memory (i.e., digit span), and visuo-spatial short-term memory (i.e., Corsi blocks) as predictors of timed and untimed calculation, both concurrently in Grade 1 (N= 116) and longitu...

What is needed for an analysis of the existing approaches to qualitative spatial reasoning and for a deeper understanding of the domain of space is a unifying theory that explains all of the concepts used for the representation of the different aspects of space by some primitive but well understood relations. In order to provide such primitive relations it will be shown that the concepts used i...
