In data stream applications, streams typically arise from a geographically distributed collection of producers and may be queried by consumers, which may be distributed as well. In such a setting, a query can be seen as a subscription asking to be informed of all tuples that satisfy a specific condition. We propose to support the publishing and querying of distributed data streams by a publish/...

Objective: The first aim of this study is to describe the length, weight, condition factor, and GSI Alburnus istanbulensis (Battalgil, 1941) in two different connected habitats (stream habitat reservoir lake) Karamenderes River, Çanakkale. second state growth type species sampled using length-weight relationship (LWR) model. Materials Methods: sampling areas are Bayramiç Reservoir tributaries o...

The Clean Water Act mandates that the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of our nation's waters be maintained and restored. Physical integrity has often been defined as physical habitat integrity, and as such, data collected during biological monitoring programs focus primarily on habitat quality. However, we argue that channel stability is a more appropriate measure of physical integ...

In this paper, we develop least-squares finite element methods (LSFEMs) for incompressible fluid flows with improved mass conservation. Specifically, we formulate a new locally conservative LSFEM for the velocity– vorticity–pressure Stokes system, which uses a piecewise divergence-free basis for the velocity and standard C 0 elements for the vorticity and the pressure. The new method, which we ...

Patient DF, who developed visual form agnosia following ventral-stream damage, is unable to discriminate the width of objects, performing at chance, for example, when asked to open her thumb and forefinger a matching amount. Remarkably, however, DF adjusts her hand aperture to accommodate the width of objects when reaching out to pick them up (grip scaling). While this spared ability to grasp o...

If attending to a target in a rapid stream of visual stimuli within the next 400 ms or so, a second target in the stream is frequently not detected by an observer. This so-called attentional blink can provide a comparison of neural signals elicited by identical stimuli that, in one condition, reach conscious awareness and, in the other, fail to be selected for awareness. In the present study, u...

We address a problem of sampling and reconstructing periodic piecewise polynomials based on the theory for signals with a finite rate of innovation (FRI signals) from samples acquired by a sinc kernel. This problem was discussed in a previous paper. There was, however, an error in a condition about the sinc kernel. Further, even though the signal is represented by parameters, these explicit val...

Sensory-motor interactions between auditory and articulatory representations in the dorsal auditory processing stream are suggested to contribute to speech perception, especially when bottom-up information alone is insufficient for purely auditory perceptual mechanisms to succeed. Here, we hypothesized that the dorsal stream responds more vigorously to auditory syllables when one is engaged in ...

Prior research had documented that semantically-similar labels that co-occur in child-directed speech promote generalization in young children. The present study examined whether co-occurrence probability – in the absence of semantic similarity – can influence children’s inferences. Fourand five-year-old children were exposed to an auditory speech stream consisting of trisyllabic nonsense words...

  The study seeks to address the importance of urban stream ecosystems from the perspective of urban ecology, human health and social well-being in the context of urban planning. The case study area is Paveh stream in the City of Paveh. The data from the case study area were gathered from questionnaire, existing scientific and library studies and by conducting interviews with residents and auth...
