Long-period surface waves are used to map lateral heterogeneities of velocity and anisotropy in the upper mantle. The dispersion curves are expanded in spherical harmonics up to degree 6 and inverted to find the depth structure. The data are corrected for the effect of surface layers and both Love and Rayleigh waves are used. Shear wave velocity and shear polarization anisotropy can be resolved...

One type of heterogeneous computing (HC) systems consists of machines with diverse capabilities harnessed together to execute a set of tasks that vary in their computational complexity. An HC system can be characterized using an Estimated Time to Compute (ETC) matrix. Each value in this matrix represents the ETC of a specific task on a specific machine when executed exclusively. Heuristics use ...

Introduction: Evidence for isotopic anomalies in bulk car-bonaceous chondrites relative to other meteorites, the moon and Earth have recently been reported for several elements (Sm, Nd, Ba, Ti and Cr[1, 2, 3]). The nature of these heterogeneities is not very well understood. The isotopic composition of Zr mainly reflects a mixture of different sand r-process nucleosynthetic components. The s-pr...

Many complex networks from the World Wide Web to biological networks grow taking into account the heterogeneous features of the nodes. The feature of a node might be a discrete quantity such as a classification of a URL document such as personal page, thematic website, news, blog, search engine, social network, etc., or the classification of a gene in a functional module. Moreover the feature o...
