The two most abundant marine autotrophic prokaryotes, Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, often have different distributions in the ocean. For example, Synechococcus is restricted to the first 100 m, whereas Prochlorococcus extends much deeper in oligotrophic waters. This is in part explained by differences in adaptation to nutrient and light regimes. However, they could also be subjected to dif...

The finite element method is considered when applied to a model Dirichlet problem on a plane polygonal domain. Local error estimates are given for the case when the finite element partitions are refined in a systematic fashion near corners. 0. Introduction. We assume that the reader is familiar with Part 1, [2], of this paper; some notation is briefly recollected in Section 1. General reference...

Analyses of the fractal dimension of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI] images of homogeneous land covers near Huntsville, Alabama revealed that the fractal dimension of an image of an agricultural land cover indicates greater complexity as pixel size increases, a forested land cover gradually grows smoother, and an urban image remains roughly self-similar over the range of pixel siz...

This paper presents tools (OTPs and macros) for typesetting languages using the Devanāgar̄ı script (Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi). These tools are based on the Omega typesetting system and are using fonts from devnag, a package developed by Frans Velthuis in 1991. We are describing these new OTPs in detail, to provide the reader with insight into Omega techniques and allow him/her to further adapt t...

I first summarize Baltag and Smets’ contribution to this volume, and praise their work. Then I compare the anti-lexicographic plausibility update that they propose to a proposal by Aucher, as an illustration of the difference between a qualitative and a quantitive formulation of updates. I quote Spohn’s original work that is at the root of research in plausibility updates and of the notion of a...
