Understanding of the nitrogen (N) cycle and its spatial variability is important for managing ecosystems. Soil δ15N, as an important indicator of different soil nitrogen cycling processes, may provide critical information about the spatial variability in soil N cycling. The objective of this study was to examine the dominant landscape scale variability of δ15N, the location of the variability a...

In this work, the question of the coherency matrix propagation of a light beam is addressed by means of the analysis of interpolation processes between two physical situations. These physical situations are defined according to the second order statistical properties of the underlying process. Two states of a light beam or the path in a medium to go from a physical situation at distance z(1) to...

The aim of the present study was to analyze the instruction of the Judo coach immediately before the competition, in the process of preparation for the fights, looking to (1) study the coherency between the information which the coach transmits and that which the athlete retains; (2) identify the correlation between the coherency, the extension and the number of ideas conveyed by the coach; (3)...

This paper proposes two new crossover operators for searching over discrete probability spaces. The design of the operators is considered in the light of recent theoretical insights into genetic search provided by forma analysis. A nontrivial test problem in enforcing coherency of probability estimates in cross-impact analysis highlights the utility of the designed operators. The presented oper...

Dynamic data is data which varies rapidly and unpredictably. This kind of data is generally used in on-line decision making and hence needs to be delivered to its users comforming to certain time or value based applicationspecific requirements. The main issue in the dissemination of dynamic web data such as stock prices, sports scores or weather data is the maintenance of temporal coherency wit...
