In this paper we obtain a new solution for accretion disks influenced by self-gravity using the viscosity law proposed by Heyvaerts et al. (1996). We show how to solve analytically the problem taking into account self-gravity. Using this new viscosity law, we obtain a slightly different solution (compared with the standard one) for the transition between the non self-gravitating and the self-gr...

Fractal coding and classi ed transform coding exhibit strong structural similarity, but they use di erent types of redundancy in image data: piecewise self-similarity in one case and local correlation in the other. Comparing performance of the two techniques leads to a quantitative, compression-oriented de nition of piecewise self-similarity. The amount of piecewise self-similarity is evaluated...

Social science research demonstrates that people are drawn to others perceived as similar. We extend this finding to political candidates by comparing the relative effects of candidate familiarity as well as partisan, issue, gender, and facial similarity on voters’ evaluations of candidates. In Experiment One, during the final week of the 2006 Florida gubernatorial race, a national representati...
