Introduction: This study focuses on the depth/diameter (d/D) relationships of impact craters within Utopia Basin (25°N-70°N, 88°W-150°W), Mars. In order to search for spatial variations in the study area, d/D values for a total of 1,430 craters have been grouped by sub-regions based upon their similar d/D characteristics. This has revealed a significant difference in d/D relationship for crater...

We derive the two-particle fluctuation correlator in a thermal gas of π-mesons to the lowest order in an interaction due to a resonance exchange. A dia-grammatic technique is used. We discuss how this result can be applied to event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions, in particular, to search for the critical point of QCD. As a practical example, we determine the shape of the rapidity...

This technical report gives an introduction to Distributed Interactive Applications (DIA), including a brief background with some examples. An outline of the three classes of challenges that drive the design of DIA architectures the users, the physical restrictions, and the required capabilities is given. The manner in which the designer addresses these challenges, namely dynamic extensibility,...

We measured the effects of global ischemia and reperfusion on intracellular Na(+), NADH, cytosolic and mitochondrial (subscript mito) Ca(2+), relaxation, metabolism, contractility, and Ca(2+) sensitivity in the intact heart. Langendorff-prepared guinea pig hearts were crystalloid perfused, and the left ventricular (LV) pressure (LVP), first derivative of LVP (LV dP/dt), coronary flow, and O(2) ...

This work describes a simulation study of client-server architectures, and a UNIX-based le system with multimedia extensions. An interactive multime-dia workload is used to compare the throughput and scalability of the traditional and a new hybrid client-server architecture. Simulation results indicate that the hybrid client-server, combined with the multime-dia le system, is a promising distri...

This article reports on the diagnostic validity of the Dominic Interactive Assessment (DIA) in a sample of Spanish children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV). The study participants included 55 children aged between 6 and 11 years whose mothers visited an IPV counselling centre. Psychopathology and functional impairment were used as the main criteria for assessing predictive and discri...

The primal-dual algorithm of parametric linear programming (e.g. {l]) can be extended in some sence to parametric quadratic programming problems as follows. § 1. Problem of the first type Let us consider the following quadratic programming problem PIA with a parameter A. where C is an n X n positive semi-definite matrix, A is an m X n matrix, p and x are n-vectors, and band d are m-vectors. We ...

Devo ter faltado à aula no dia em que ensinaram sobre morte na Faculdade de Medicina. Entretanto, mesmo que meus sábios mestres tivessem dedicado todas as aulas daquele dia frio de junho de 1985 a rebuscadas dissertações sobre o processo de morte,...

I defend against a certain line of attack the view that the conscious contents of color experiences are exhausted by, or at least matched by, the concepts brought to bear in experience by the perceiver. The line of attack is an allegedly empirical argument against conceptualism-the Diachronic Indistinguishability Argument (DIA)-based on color pairs the members of which are too similar to be dis...
