We present the results of an experimental study of the standing waves produced on the surface of a vertically shaken fluid bath just above the Faraday threshold, when a row of equally spaced pillars protrudes from the surface. When the pillar spacing is twice the Faraday wavelength, the resulting wave field is marked by images of the pillars projected at integer multiples of a fixed distance fr...

This dataset provides a shapefile containing approximately 3500 polygons with the location, extent, size, and year of clearcut harvest events occurring between 1984 and 2015 in forested areas of the northern Colorado, Landsat WRS-2 scene Path 034, Row 032. Harvest events were modeled and mapped using a 32 year time series of Landsat imagery, the LandTrendr algorithm, and ancillary datasets. The...

The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is one of the models used for the multi-row layout problem with facilities of equal area. There are a set of n facilities and a set of n locations. For each pair of locations, a distance is specified and for each pair of facilities a weight or flow is specified (e.g., the amount of supplies transported between the two facilities). The problem is to assign ...

We present in this paper optimal and accelerated row projection algorithms arising from the use of quadratic programming, that allow us to define the iterate xk+1 as the projection of x onto a hyperplane which minimizes its distance to the solution x∗. These algorithms also use a novel partition strategy into blocks based on sequential estimations of their condition numbers.  2001 IMACS. Publi...

planting pattern can be adjusted by changing row spacing and row width, one row and two- row planting and plant interval on rows. in order to obtain the optimum planting pattern of a monogerm hybrid cultivar and its effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of this cultivar, an experiment was conducted in two years (2001-2002) in zarghan area of farsprovince. the measured chara...

The study of networks such as Butterfly networks, Benes interconnection David-derived through graph theoretical parameters is among the modern trends in area theory. Among these tools, topological Indices TIs have been frequently used invariants....

Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

What is believed to be the first fluorescence imaging of the facades of a historical building, which was accomplished with a scanning fluorescence lidar system, is reported. The mobile system was placed at a distance of ~60 m from the medieval Lund Cathedral (Sweden), and a 355-nm pulsed laser beam was swept over the stone facades row by row while spectrally resolved fluorescence signals of eac...

In all recent near-optimal sorting algorithms for meshes, the packets are sorted with respect to some snake-like indexing. In this paper we present deterministic algorithms for sorting with respect to the more natural row-major indexing. For 1-1 sorting on an n n mesh, we give an algorithm that runs in 2 n+ o(n) steps, matching the distance bound, with maximal queue size five. It is considerabl...

This paper describes a method for articulated 3D upper body tracking in monocular scenes using a graphical model to represent an articulated body structure. Belief propagation on factor graphs is used to compute the marginal probabilities of limbs. The body model is a loose-limbed model including attraction factors between adjacent limbs and constraints to reject poses resulting in collisions. ...
