Cultural divergence is incongruity in the values, attitudes and behaviors among different generations of a society. Identifying factors related to cultural divergence in the social values ​​of parents and children is one of the most important issues in Iranian society, which has been investigated in the present research through a quantitative approach. The statistical population of the study co...

Disagreements across different reanalyses over South Asia result into uncertainty in assessment of water availability, which is computed as the difference between Precipitation and Evapotranspiration (P-E). Here, we compute P-E directly from atmospheric budget with divergence of moisture flux for different reanalyses and find improved correlation with observed values of P-E, acquired from stati...

The impact of long-term sea surface temperature (SST) change on the atmospheric circulation is studied by comparing atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations forced with a spatially uniform SST increase and a structured SST increase. The structured SST increase is calculated from the response of an ensemble of coupled ocean-atmosphere models to increased CO2. Most of the impact o...

In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, … and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...

Atmospheric dynamics span a range of time-scales. The projection of measured data to a slow manifold, M, removes fast gravity waves from the initial state for numerical simulations of the atmosphere. We explore further the slow manifold for a simple atmospheric model introduced by Lorenz and anticipate that our results will relevant to the vastly more detailed dynamics of atmospheres and oceans...

The presented study was carried out in the framework of the AO project COTAR (ID 3183). A new approach is described to extend the point by point approach taken in most previous studies about SAR wind retrieval. The idea is to analyse the spatial dynamics of the SAR derived two dimensional (2-D) wind fields by estimating quantities like the 2-D divergence or vorticity, which are well known key p...

the genetic variation and diversity among fifty-eight polyvoltine silkworm genotypes was estimated by using ten economic traits. the results revealed that the single shell weight showed higher genetic variation such as pcv% (17.20%), gcv% (12.93%), and heritability (56.5%) followed by single cocoon weight, shell ratio and matured larval weight. the d2 (mahalonobis? distance) statistics revealed...

purpose: to report and review a rare variant of duane's syndrome named synergistic divergence and its surgical results. patient and findings: a 16-year-old girl presented with left face turn and reduced vision in both eyes. best corrected vision was od: 3/10 and os: 10/10. there was severe adduction deficiency of the re with simultaneous abduction of the re in left gaze. she had xt= 35 in ...

In this chapter, we present a GPU-based implementation of a photon transport model that is particularly effective in global illumination of participating media, including atmospheric geometry such as clouds, smoke, and haze, as well as densely placed, translucent surfaces. The model provides the “perfect” GPU application in the sense that the kernel code can be structured to minimize control fl...
