We present an inverse method for the study of the seepage from soil channels without lining. We give integral representations of the complex potential, velocity field, stream lines, free phreatic lines, and contour of the channel by means of Levi-Civitá’s function ω. For different values of the Taylor coefficients of ω, we calculate numerically the contour of the channel, the phreatic lines, th...

The LHCb experiment stores around 10 collision events per year. A typical physics analysis deals with a final sample of up to 10 events. Event preselection algorithms (lines) are used for data reduction. Since the data are stored in a format that requires sequential access, the lines are grouped into several output file streams, in order to increase the efficiency of user analysis jobs that rea...

We present a new approach to detecting isolated closed stream lines in 2D vector fields. This approach is based on the idea of transforming the 2D vector field into an appropriate 3D vector field such that detecting closed stream lines in 2D is equivalent to intersecting certain stream surfaces in 3D. Contrary to pre-existing methods, our approach does not rely on any underlying grid structure ...

We consider a process on T2, which consists of the fast motion along the stream lines of an incompressible periodic vector field perturbed by white noise. It gives rise to a process on the graph naturally associated to the structure of the stream lines of the unperturbed flow. It has been shown by Freidlin and Wentzell that if the stream function of the flow is periodic, then the corresponding ...

[1] A 1000 km long cloud-line over the major axis of the Gulf Stream was detected in imagery from a number of satellites on April 24, 2001. Analysis of environmental conditions shows that such a cloud-line is formed when the synoptic low-level wind is parallel to the Gulf Stream axis and the sky is clear, conditions that rarely occur in the hightemperature and high-moisture Gulf Stream region. ...

AIM To report the epidemiology of nosocomial bloodstream infections in Auckland Healthcare Hospitals. METHODS From January 1995 to December 1997 every positive blood culture result was followed up by an infection control nurse who recorded relevant clinical, laboratory and treatment information on a data collection sheet. The clinical significance of each isolate was determined and the most l...
