Natural hybrid zones involving the West Indian pulmonate land snail Cerion are characterized by the occurrence, in low to moderate frequencies, of allozymes that are unique to interspecific hybrid zones. As such electrophoretically detected genetic anomalies havr also becn reported in hybrid zones involving mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects this appears to be a general phenomeno...

This paper studies the reception zones of a wireless network in the SINR model with receivers that employ interference cancellation (IC). IC is a recently developed technique that allows a receiver to decode interfering signals, and cancel them from the received signal in order to decode its intended message. We first derive the important topological properties of the reception zones and their ...

[1] Fault zone structure and properties may contain important information about past earthquake rupture and subsequent healing processes. Damaged fault zones are observed geologically in the field [e.g., Chester and Chester, 1998; Ben-Zion and Sammis, 2003]. Seismic studies have revealed the existence of low-velocity fault zones around active faults [e.g., Li et al., 1998; Ben-Zion et al., 2003...

Safety zones are areas where firefighters can retreat to in order to avoid bodily harm when threatened by burnover or entrapment from wildland fire. At present, safety zones are primarily designated by firefighting personnel as part of daily fire management activities. Though critical to safety zone assessment, the effectiveness of this approach is inherently limited by the individual firefight...

Given a road network, a fundamental object of interest is the matrix of origin destination (OD) flows. Estimation of this matrix involves at least three sub-problems: (i) determining a suitable set of traffic analysis zones, (ii) the formulation of an optimisation problem to determine the OD matrix, and (iii) a means of evaluating a candidate estimate of the OD matrix. This paper describes a me...

in this paper, the temperature dependence of some characteristics of cylindrical gate-all-around si nanowire field effect transistor (gaa-si-nwfet) is investigated to representing the temperature nano-sensor structures and improving their performance. firstly, we calculate the temperature sensitivity of drain-source current versus the gate-source voltage of gaa-si-nwfet to propose the temperatu...

In situ biological observations require stable, accurate, and local temperature control of specimen. Several heating elements are coupled with microfluidic systems, but few them transparent to visible light therefore compatible microscopic observation. Traditional electrodes, such as indium tin oxide, still suffer from high fabrication cost brittleness, which is not fully emerging devices. Here...
