We present a new method to classify galaxies from large surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using inclination-corrected concentration, inclination-corrected location on the color-magnitude diagram, and apparent axis ratio. Explicitly accounting for inclination tightens the distribution of each of these parameters and enables simple boundaries to be drawn that delineate three different gal...

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that turning is associated with more instability than straight walking and instability increases with turning angles. However, the precise relationship of changes in stability with the curvature and step length of turning is not clear. The traditional center of mass (COM)-center of pressure (COP) inclination angle requires the use of force plates. A COM-foot contac...

this paper presents results of a numerical study of mixed convection and entropy generation of cu–water nanofluid in a square ventilating cavity at different inclination angles. except a piece of bottom wall with a uniform heat flux, all of the cavity walls are insulated. the inlet port is placed at the bottom of the left wall and the outlet port is positioned at the top of the right wall. entr...

Simulations of three-dimensional laminar forced convection adjacent to inclined backward-facing step in rectangular duct are presented to examine effects of step inclination on flow and heat transfer distributions. The step height is maintained as constant while its inclination angle is changed from 15 to 90 . The inlet flow is hydrodynamically steady and fully developed with uniform temperatur...

just like any other economic field, housing market has two basic foundations which are demand and supply. its obvious that disequilibrum between these foundations, will drasticaly affect the housing affordability and can also lead to wide slump in many markets. that’s why, policy makers usually intend to stimulat the supply by means of providing low intrest loans, low priced land, etc. in this ...

Bhatwadekar and Raja Sridharan have constructed a homomorphism from an orbit set of unimodular rows to an Euler class group. We show under weaker assumptions that a generalization of its kernel is a subgroup. Our tool is a partially defined operation on the set of unimodular matrices with two rows. 1 The exact sequence Consider a commutative noetherian Q-algebra A of dimension d. Let n = d + 1....

This paper reviews Pattee's ideas about the symbolic domain as a phenomenon related to the self-simplifying processes of certain hierarchical systems, such as the living. We distinguish the concepts of constraint, record, and symbol to explain how the Semantic Closure Principle, that is to say, the view that symbols are self-interpreted by the cell, emerges. Related to this, the notion of compl...

A volcanic record of geomagnetic field inclination for the past ~400 kyr at Hila, Hawaii, has been obtained from the 941.5 m of core recovered by the Hawaii Scientific Drilling Project. The analysis of 195 lava flows reveals six instances of near-zero inclination and two instances of fully negative inclination (reverse polarity) within an otherwise normal-polarity core. In particular, flow unit...
