Abstract. Landscape morphology reflects drivers such as tectonics and climate but is also modulated by underlying rock properties. While geomorphologists may attempt to quantify the influence of strength through direct comparisons landscape metrics, recent work has shown that contact migration resulting from presence mixed lithologies hinder an approach. Indeed, this counterintuitively suggests...

Fibers of electrically coupled nerve or cardiac cells are among the best-known examples of excitable media. Such fibers are often forced periodically at one end by an impulsive electrical stimulus current, eliciting sequences of traveling pulses. If the excitable medium happens to be cardiac tissue, it is natural to ask whether a sudden change in the period of the forcing (e.g., the heart rate)...

We have obtained integral-field spectroscopic data, using the SAURON instrument, of the bar and starbursting circumnuclear region in the barred spiral galaxy M100. From our data we have derived kinematic maps of the mean velocity and velocity dispersion of the stars and the gas, which we present here. We have also produced maps of the total, [Oiii], and Hβ intensity. The gas velocity field show...

Two great underthrusting earthquakes that occurred along the coast of Peru in 2001 and 2007 involve spatiotemporal slip distributions that differ from the predominantly unilateral or bilateral rupture expansion of many great events. Commonly used finite-source rupture model parameterizations, with specified rupture velocity and/or short duration of slip at each grid point applied to the seismic...

[1] Transient bed profiles in alluvial channels are generally modeled using diffusion (or dynamic) waves and assuming equilibrium between detachment and deposition rates. Equilibrium sediment transport can be considerably affected by an excess (or deficiency) of sediment supply due to mostly flows during flash floods or floods resulting from dam break or dike failure. In such situations the sed...

in recent years, biodiesel has been considered as a good alternative of diesel fuels. density and viscosity are two important properties of these fuels. in this study, density and kinematic viscosity of biodiesel-diesel blends were estimated by using artificial neural network (ann). a three-layer feed forward neural network with levenberg-marquard (lm) algorithm was used for learning empirical ...

In this paper the Glauber-Gribov approach for deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) with nuclei is developed in N=4 SYM. It is shown that the amplitude displays the same general properties, such as geometrical scaling, as is the case in the high density QCD approach. We found that the quantum effects leading to the graviton reggeization, give rise to an imaginary part of the nucleon amplitude, which ...

Ship maneuvering simulation is an important tool to predict the kinetic and kinematic properties of a vessel. It can estimate manoeuvrability vessel in advance optimize ship design avoid possible problems. Environmental effects including wind, wave, current are very disturbances from nature, which have great influence on However, it rather difficult evaluate their currently. In this work, wave ...
