Highly efficient and versatile computational electromagnetic analysis of 3-D transformation-based metamaterial cloaking structures based on a hybridization of a higher order finite element method for discretization of the cloaking region and a higher order method of moments for numerical termination of the computational domain is proposed and demonstrated. The technique allows for an effective ...

The Caspian (Hyrcanian) lowland forest zone in northern Iran is characterized by small remnant alder forest communities, dominated or subdominated with an Euxino-Hyrcanian element, Alnus glutinosa ssp. barbata. The first floristic inventory of these alder forests in northern Iran is presented. The floristic catalogue is based on the data of 133 phytosociological releves in eight different alder...

Phoberomys is reported to be the largest rodent that ever existed, although it has been known only from isolated teeth and fragmentary postcranial bones. An exceptionally complete skeleton of Phoberomys pattersoni was discovered in a rich locality of fossil vertebrates in the Upper Miocene of Venezuela. Reliable body mass estimates yield approximately 700 kilograms, more than 10 times the mass ...

In this paper, the orders induced by the residual implications obtained from uninorms are investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented so that the ordinal sum of fuzzy implications satisfies the law of importation with a t-norm $T$. Some relationships between the orders induced by an ordinal sum implication and its summands are determined. The algebraic structures obtained fr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Malpighiales are one of the largest angiosperm orders and have undergone radical systematic restructuring based on molecular phylogenetic studies. The clade has been recalcitrant to molecular phylogenetic reconstruction, but has become much more resolved at the suprafamilial level. It now contains so many newly identified clades that there is an urgent need for comparative s...

Abstract We explore the relationship between weighted path orders and (monotonic) semantic orders. Our findings reveal that can be considered instances of a variant comprise order pairs. This observation leads to generalization does not impose simplicity on their underlying algebras. As result, generalized version is capable proving termination term rewrite systems beyond realm simple terminati...
