Suppose that each edge e of a network is assigned a random exponential passage time with mean re. Then the expected first-passage time between two vertices is at least the effective resistance between them for the edge resistances 〈re〉. Similarly, suppose each edge is assigned a random exponential edge capacity with mean ce. Then the expected maximum flow between two vertices is at least the ef...

The luminescence spectrum of laurdan in glycerol consists of two bands with maxima at 425 and 500 nm. The strong dependence of this spectrum on the energy of the excitation quanta is demonstrated. When, excited on the red-edge slope of the absorption band, it is investigated at various temperatures. The biggest red shift (about 10 nm) of λmax is found for the long wavelength band at low tempera...

A correlation analysis was conducted between forest leaf area index (LAI) and two red edge parameters: red edge position (REP) and red well position (RWP), extracted from reflectance image retrieved from Hyperion data. Field spectrometer data and LAI measurements were collected within two days after the Earth Observing One satellite passed over the study site in the Patagonia region of Argentin...

Yellow rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) is an important fungal disease affecting wheat production and quality. The purpose of this study was to identify the spectral band regions that influence how changes throughout year determining plant responds yellow when it applied test materials at various doses (0%, 25%, 50%, 100%). Eser, Bayraktar 2000 Demir varieties showed high co...

To understand the function of edges in perception of moving objects, we defined four questions to answer. Is the focus point in visual motion detection of a moving object: (1) the body or the edge of the object, (2) the leading edge or trailing edge of the object, (3) different in scotopic, mesopic and photopic luminance levels, or (4) different for colored objects? We measured the Optomotor Re...

Bombyx mori presents several types of egg color mutations, all of which have been extensively discussed in sericulture. While the red egg mutation has been previously observed, lethal red-egg mutants have not been reported. In the present work, the red egg mutant Fuyin-lre (Fuyin-lethal red egg) was discovered from the Fuyin germplasm resource of B. mori. This mutant features red-colored eggs a...

In an effort to improve the robustness and efficiency of mesh adaptation, this work proposes an adaptive re-meshing method that can be used for variety of problems in CFD. It should be noted that this method is feature driven adaptivity and that it does not use strategies such as edge split, edge collapse, edge swap, etc as were employed in mesh modifications [2]. Instead, it defines the ”holes...
