Localization is an essential element of ensemble-based Kalman filters in largescale systems. Two localization methods are commonly used: Covariance localization and domain localization. The former applies a localizing weight to the forecast covariance matrix while the latter splits the assimilation into local regions in which independent assimilation updates are performed. The domain localizati...

this study was carried out to evaluate the association between laboratory seed characteristics and seedling emergence of canola cultivars that it's were produced under different irrigation regime and planting date. the treatments were included two planting date and two levels of irrigation (main factors) and seeds of five canola cultivars (sub factor) which in first year (2006-2007) had be...

These two studies explored 3- and 5-year-olds' evaluation of noncircular and circular explanations, and their use of such explanations to determine informant credibility. Although 5-year-olds demonstrated a selective preference for noncircular over circular explanations (Experiment 1: Long Explanations; Experiment 2: Short Explanations), 3-year-olds only demonstrated a preference for the noncir...

Three studies examined whether mathematics can propel the development of physical understanding. In Experiment 1, 10-year-olds solved balance scale problems that used easy-to-count discrete quantities or hard-to-count continuous quantities. Discrete quantities led to age typical performances. Continuous quantities caused performances like those of 5-year-olds. In Experiment 2, 11-year-olds solv...

Does category representation change in the course of development? And if so, how and why? The current study attempted to answer these questions by examining category learning and category representation. In Experiment 1, 4-year-olds, 6-year-olds, and adults were trained with either a classification task or an inference task and their categorization performance and memory for items were tested. ...

We give an adaptive depth procedure for coloring a graph that combines elements of tabu search and branch and bound. The resulting tabu branch and bound method can execute searches of varying degrees of exhaustiveness at different stages and in different regions of the search space, ranging from pure heuristic search to pure tree search at the extremes. The goal is generally to find near optima...

Due to the variety of contexts studied, the focus on where claims of objectivity can be found varies in each case: canon, ...

Stress and vigor are endpoints on a continuum of the suitability of plants for insect herbivores. Senescence-feeding insects, such as the chrysanthemum lace bug, Corythucha marmorata (Uhler) (Hemiptera: Tingidae, Tingitini), are hypothesized to benefit from any stressor hastening the senescence of plant tissues, such as drought. They are also hypothesized to prefer feeding and ovipositing on st...

When birds move around in their natural environment the feathers on the wings are exposed to various factors that reduce their performance, such as UV-radiation, mechanical wearing and bacteria. In time the feathers get worn out and are replaced. This usually happens once a year by a process called moult. Some bird species differs from this pattern and moult twice a year. This behavior may have...
