We present an experimental study of the statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in a flume of a horizontal size 12 x 6 m. For a wide range of amplitudes the wave energy spectrum was found to scale as Eomega approximately omega(-nu) in a frequency range of up to one decade. However, nu appears to be nonuniversal: it depends on the wave intensity and ranges from about 6 to 4. We discuss our...

Providing an appropriate definition of a horizontal subbundle of a Lie algebroid will lead to construction of a better framework on Lie algebriods. In this paper, we give a new and natural definition of a horizontal subbundle using the prolongation of a Lie algebroid and then we show that any linear connection on a Lie algebroid generates a horizontal subbundle and vice versa. The same correspo...

Absolute thresholds of 23 subjects 19-61 years of age were determined for three wavelengths at six retinal eccentricities in the horizontal meridian (2.5 degrees-30 degrees). The raw data were corrected for prereceptoral light losses that may be age-dependent. Lens density was estimated for each subject by comparing scotopic spectral sensitivity with the absorption spectrum of rhodopsin. Macula...

The inverted geometry time-of-flight spectrometer NERA designed for simultaneous investigation of elastic and inelastic neutron scattering was constructed on a 100 meter long flight path of the IBR-2 reactor at JINR, Dubna, Russia. Spectrometer parameters were optimized for the thermal neutron spectrum of a water moderator at 330 K. Recently, a new type of cold neutron source operating at 30 K ...

In the last decade, the use of phylogenetic networks to analyze the evolution of species whose past is likely to include reticulation events, such as horizontal gene transfer or hybridization, has gained popularity among evolutionary biologists. Nevertheless, the evolution of a particular gene can generally be described without reticulation events and therefore be represented by a phylogenetic ...

About half of the monophasic horizontal cells in carp retina receive input from both red- and green-sensitive cones. Since the horizontal cells feed back to cones, the color and feedback pathways result in wavelength- and intensity-dependent changes of the dynamics and of the receptive field amplitude profile of the horizontal cell responses. In this paper we present a quantitative model that d...

Multidrug resistance is a challenge across different types of microorganisms, bacterial and viral pathogens. This is because they account for a significant outcome of clinical infections observed. The tendency of microorganisms to acquire and disseminate resistance genes among themselves via horizontal gene transfer makes resistance patterns to become widely distributed. Bacterial pathogens exh...

In this paper we study the definability and decidability of binary predicates for time granularity in monadic languages interpreted over finitely and infinitely layered structures. We focus our attention on the equi-level (resp. equi-column) predicate constraining two time points to belong to the same layer (resp. column) and on the horizontal (resp. vertical) successor predicate relating a tim...

In this work, the melting process of compounds containing nanoparticles of NePCM in a square hole with different angles affected by two pairs of well-spring heat source on horizontal walls was numerically investigated. Four different configurations of elements were employed to investigate the effect of changes in the position of elements on the horizontal walls of the well-spring landscape on t...
