Context. Accretion onto galactic and supermassive black holes occurs in different modes, which are documented in hard and soft spectral states, commonly attributed to an advection-dominated flow (ADAF) inside a truncated disk and standard disk accretion, respectively. At the times of spectral transition an intermediate state is observed, for which the accretion flow pattern is still unclear. Ai...

This paper investigates the extent of tiger (Panthera tigris) vocal individuality through both qualitative and quantitative approaches using long distance roars from six individual tigers at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, NE. The framework for comparison across individuals includes statistical and discriminant function analysis across whole vocalization measures and statistical pattern clas...

The description of cortical folding pattern (CFP) is challenging because of geometric complexity and inter-subject variability. On a cortical surface mesh, curvature estimation provides a good scalar proxy of CFP. The oscillations of this function can be studied using a Fourier-like analysis to produce a power spectrum representative of the spatial frequency composition of CFP. First, we introd...

We study spectral triples on (weighted) groups and consider functors between the categories of weighted groups and spectral triples. We study the properties of weights and the corresponding functor for spectral triples coming from discrete weighted groups.

lexicographic ordering by spectral moments ($s$-order) among all trees is discussed in this‎ ‎paper‎. ‎for two given positive integers $p$ and $q$ with $pleqslant q$‎, ‎we denote $mathscr{t}_n^{p‎, ‎q}={t‎: ‎t$ is a tree of order $n$ with a $(p‎, ‎q)$-bipartition}‎. furthermore, ‎the last four trees‎, ‎in the $s$-order‎, ‎among $mathscr{t}_n^{p‎, ‎q},(4leqslant pleqslant q)$ are characterized‎.

in this paper some upper and lower bounds for the greatest eigenvalues of the pi and vertex pimatrices of a graph g are obtained. those graphs for which these bounds are best possible arecharacterized.

the study aimed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of di-n-butyl phthalate (dbp) onbrown soil and red soil in shenyang and hunan province, respectively, china. adsorption kinetics andisotherms experiments were conducted at 288, 298 and 308 k, respectively. results of kinetics showed thatadsorption of dbp exhibited a two-step process in both brown and red soil. different models were used to...

the spectroscopic properties of the 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl (tempo) radicalderivatives of the fullerene (c60) were theoretically investigated. the ground state optimizedstructures of the radical adducts of the fullerene were calculated by using dft (b3lyp) with 6-31g(d) level. it was concluded that a 6-6 ring junction of c60 moiety generally covalently links to thepiperidine ring ...
