Deserts are one of the major landforms on the Earth. While deserts occupy about one-fifth of Earth’s land surface, they have been studied to a much lesser extent. All over the world, desert landforms are expanding ever rapidly and more and more human settlements are finding place in desert regions for habitation. Thus, quantifying and monitoring dunes becomes more relevant from a managerial per...

This study aims to explore how customer segments are characterised by leisure and mobility orientations. By means of a survey, Swiss rail customers’ socioeconomic trip profiles as well attitudes towards taking the in their time were collected. Respondents free take part survey telephone or online, resulting 1235 full interviews. A principal component analysis followed segmentation through clust...

This paper presents Condorcet, a domain-specific prototype indexing system for tens of thousands of documents covering two scientific domains: engineering ceramics and epilepsy. The development corpus consists of 800 documents taken from one year volumes of two scientific journals. Condorcet takes a controlled-term approach to. The index process makes intensive use of linguistic knowledge. The ...

This note extends the results of Frank, Jordán, and Szigeti [1] on parity constrained orientations with connectivity requirements. Given a hypergraph H, a non-negative intersecting supermodular set function p, and a preferred in-degree parity for every node, a formula is given on the minimum number of nodes with wrong in-degree parity in an orientation of H covering p. It is shown that the mini...

The polarization dependence of the optical scattering properties of two-dimensional arrays of metal nanostructures with sub-wavelength dimensions (nanoantennas) has been investigated. Arrays of 500 nm × 100 nm gold nanorods covering a 100 × 100 µm(2) area were fabricated with varying orientations on an electrically conductive substrate. The experimental and computational analysis of the angular...
