We compute the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a local elliptic surface with section. We introduce a new computational technique which is a mixture of motivic and toric methods. This allows us to write the partition function for the invariants in terms of the topological vertex. Utilizing identities for the topological vertex proved in [4], we derive product formulas for the partition functions....

In this paper, we conduct uniform error estimates of the bifidelity method for multiscale kinetic equations. We take Boltzmann and linear transport equations as important examples, discuss various choices low-fidelity models more general The main analytic tool is hypocoercivity analysis equations, considering solutions in a perturbative setting close to global equilibrium. This allows us obtain...

background: this study aimed at investigating the simple and multiple relationships between   personality traits and addic­tion potential in university students. methods: three hundred and forty two students were selected by cluster sampling from the shahid chamran university (iran). the scales used for this descriptive study were neo-ffi personality inventory and iranian addiction potential sc...

Change detection on rasterized data is extremely dependent on accurate radiometric and geometric rectification. The development of processing tools able to minimise these requirements has been recognised since the late eighties. In the present paper we present a methodology for detecting changes on multidate satellite images with different radiometric and geometric characteristics via Multireso...
