In this paper, we consider fluctuation-splitting schemes that can capture an isolated shock over a suitably-oriented single triangular element and also recognize a rarefaction. A particular focus is on the evaluation of the fluctuation (or the cell-residual): a oneparameter-family quadrature rule is employed to evaluate the fluctuation, which endows the fluctuation with a wave recognition capab...

some physical attributes of two common types of iranian garlic cloves (white and pink) were identified and compared. a machine vision system was used to determine three di-mensions and both major and minor projected areas of garlic cloves at a moisture content of 42.4% w. b. the geometric mean diameter and sphericity were calculated, as well as the unit mass and volume of cloves were measured. ...

fish larvae have several sensory systems that are functional at or soon after hatching and then are developed further during larval and juvenile stages. this study was conducted to investigate development of the eye in rutilus kutum , based on histological and allometric growth analysis during early developmental stages up to 35 day post hatching with emphasis on retinal morphology. for this pu...

central serous chorioretinopathy (cscr) is an ocular disease which fluid is collected under retina and leads to retinal detachment and blurred vision. risk factors for development of central serous chorioretinopathy are included: alcohol use, uncontrolled hypertension, pregnancy, type a personalityand different ways of corticosteroid use. we want to present central serous chorioretinopathy in a...

statistical studies on palynology contents of late cretaceous to paleocene age gurpi formation in a surface section in zagros basin,sw iran indicate changes in abundance, species diversity, ratio of spiniferites to cyclonephelium (s/c), palynological marine index(pmi) values and organic facies. these palynological variations clearly reflect fluctuations in relative sea-level and depositionalenv...

Recurrent water level fluctuation and submergence of plants are common in riparian zones. Our study objectives were to test the independent and interactive effects of submergence level and fluctuation frequency on a globally important riparian invasive plant, Alternanthera philoxeroides. To this end, we conducted a greenhouse experiment, in which ramets of the plants, obtained from a wetland in...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether the risk of prostate cancer was different according to the pattern of fluctuation in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients undergoing repeat transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). METHODS From March 2003 to December 2012, 492 patients underwent repeat TRUS-Bx. The patients were stratified into 3 groups based on the PSA fluctuation pat...

Twenty-five asymptomatic subjects with normal binocular vision underwent determination of the magnitude and direction of their heterophoria and their fixation disparity. Fixation disparity was measured at a 2-m fixation distance with the phase-difference haploscope under conditions simulating those of casual seeing. When combined with careful attention to symmetrical control of accommodation, t...
