The non hydrostatic convection resolving model MOLOCH is employed in order to evaluate its capability to realistically simulate the evolution of a mesoscale convective system responsible for an episode of heavy rainfall and flood over southeastern France (Gard event). Numerical experiments indicate large sensitivity of precipitation amounts and distribution, due to different cell organization a...

This paper studies the effect of cascading failures in the risk and reliability assessment of complex infrastructure systems. Conventional reliability assessment is limited to connectivity analysis and does not include the effect of increased flow demand or flow capacity of existing network components. Network flows are associated with congestion-based disruptions which can worsen connectivity-...

In this paper, we focus on the problem of answer triggering addressed by Yang et al. (2015), which is a critical component for a real-world question answering system. We employ a hierarchical gated recurrent neural tensor (HGRNT) model to capture both the context information and the deep interactions between the candidate answers and the question. Our result on F value achieves 42.6%, which sur...

At the end of cell division, the cytoplasmic bridge joining the daughter cells is severed through a process that involves scission of the plasma membrane. The presence of chromatin bridges 'stuck' in the division plane is sensed by the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) component Aurora B kinase, triggering a checkpoint that delays abscission until the chromatin bridges have been resolved. Rec...

Lexicalist approaches to syntax can benefit from multidimensionality of representation as exhibited by Ailohanan(1997). Subject and object honorific forms in Japanese are shown to be complex predicates with its second component grammaticalized and triggering argument-sharing of the two components of the predicate. Multidimensional representation makes it possible to account for the Gricean infe...

In this paper we present the performance analysis of two nite queues coupled by a triggering scheduler Customers waiting for service have rst to pass the scheduler and then experience service by their dedicated server The scheduler is permitted to gather a custo mer from a particular queue only if the corresponding server is idle An application of this model can be found in job shop like manufa...

The effects of Cd2+ (20 μM) and different bath temperatures were used to study the contributions of two separate triggering mechanisms, L-type Ca2+current ( I Ca) and reverse mode Na+/Ca2+exchange, to excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling in cat ventricular myocytes. Ionic currents and cell shortening were studied with patch pipettes filled with K+-containing internal solution and discontinuous...
