The history of colonization and dispersal in fauna distributed among deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems remains enigmatic and poorly understood because of an inability to mark and track individuals. A combination of molecular, morphological and environmental data improves understanding of spatial and temporal scales at which panmixia, disruption of gene flow or even speciation may occur. Vestim...

Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...

This study among 426 Japanese couples working in different occupational sectors tested the hypothesis that perspective taking moderates the crossover of work engagement. More specifically, we predicted that husbands' work engagement would cross over to their wives, particularly when wives scored high on perspective taking (the spontaneous tendency to adopt the psychological perspective of other...

A perceptual study has been performed to investigate relationship between acoustic parameters and the voice individuality making use of the pitch synchronous analysis-synthesis system Voice-individuality is involved in many acoustic parameters and the aim of this experiment is to examine how individual parameters affect the voice-individuality by separately giving them some distortions. Formant...

NE of the fundamental problems concerning the mechanism of cross0 ing over is the question of chromatid interference. In the absence of chromatid interference the identity of the chromatids involved in two or more chiasmata or points of crossing over is random. Positive chromatid interference would exist if a crossover between one pair of chromatids reduced their chances of being involved in a ...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the genetic structure and diversity of 16 generations of native fowls of west azerbaijan province, iran using the pedigree data collected between 1994 and 2012. inbreeding coefficient (f), pedigree completeness index (pci), parameters of the probability of gene origin and other parameters related to the genetic structure were estimated using th...

This paper proposes a content-based audio information retrieval and indexing technique based on wavelet transform. The presented approach uses multiresolution decomposition property of the discrete wavelet transform to analyze audio data. The wavelet decomposition of an audio signal highly resembles to its decomposition in sound octaves. A hierarchical indexing scheme is constructed using stati...

This paper presents a new estimator for the velocity of a mobile station in micro-cellular systems. The proposed estimator is based on the zero-crossing rate of the instantaneous frequency of the received signal. The effects of additive noise, scattering distribution, and shadowing on the proposed velocity estimator are analyzed. The IF-based velocity estimator outperforms the conventional esti...
