Two lumped parameter watershed scale hydrology and water quality models (WATGIS and QUALGIS) which describe the nitrogen loadings at the’outlet of coastal plain watersheds were examined with respect to their accuracy and uncertainty of model results. Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) was applied to determine the impact of uncertainty in estimating field exports and decay coefficients on the uncert...

Public land management agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are charged with managing rangelands throughout the western United States for multiple uses, such as livestock grazing and conservation of sensitive species and their habitats. Monitoring of condition and trends of these rangelands, particularly with respect to effects of livestock grazing, provides critical informati...

New ages are computed for the stars from the Edvardsson et al. (1993) data set. The revised values are systematically larger toward older ages (t > 4 Gyr), while they are slightly lower for t<4 Gyr. A similar, but considerably smaller trend is present when the ages are computed with the distances based on Hipparcos parallaxes. The resulting age-metallicity relation has a small, but distinct slo...

We present the list of potential multiple star clusters from the central part of the SMC. Presented systems were selected from the catalog of star clusters from the SMC. We find 23 suspected cluster pairs and 4 triple systems. The statistical analysis suggests that many of them may constitute physical systems. Size, equatorial coordinates and age of presented clusters are given. Age of clusters...

I test the completeness of USNO-B detections of high proper-motion (μ > 180mas yr) stars and the accuracy of its measurements by comparing them to the revised NLTT (rNLTT) catalog of Salim & Gould. For 14.5 < V < 18.5, only 6% of such stars are missing from USNO-B while another 4% have large errors, mostly too large to be useful. Including both classes, incompleteness is 10%. These fractions ri...

The occurrence of Seyfert galaxies in 6 samples representative of different cosmological environments (i.e. isolated pairs, compact and loose groups) is analysed. To avoid biases linked to subjective sample selection criteria only canonical samples, taken from the literature, are considered. It is found that the average frequency of Seyferts in all samples, is near 2%. Most Seyferts lying in pa...

For a Sperner family A ⊆ 2 [n] let Ai denote the family of all i-element sets in A. We sharpen the LYM inequality i |Ai|/ n i ≤ 1 by adding to the LHS all possible products of fractions |Ai|/ n i , with suitable coefficients. A corresponding inequality is established also for the linear lattice and the lattice of subsets of a multiset (with all elements having the same multiplicity).

With the advent of information technology, a lot of research has been done on electronic catalog for electronic commerce compared with traditional paperbased catalogs. The Web-based digital catalogs provide more complete with efficient information updating, and can be constructed more economically for the limited attribute of products only. In the last decade, customers were involved in definin...
