infiltration process plays an important role in water cycle of the nature. conducting field experiments is necessary to determine the coefficients of infiltration equations due to the dependence of these coefficients to the soil type, soil surface conditions and the amount of initial soil moisture content. this study has been carried out in a field located in islamic azad university, marvdasht ...

In his article "Radical Theology and the Reorganization of the US-American Religious System," Philippe Codde uses the example of the highly popular movement of death-of-God theology in the 1960s to demonstrate the wide applicability for cultural research of Itamar Even-Zohar's polysystem theory and to illustrate the validity of Even-Zohar's assertion that peripheral elements in any system can y...

This paper deals with system support for the design of CSCW environments. Our model introduces objects spaces shared by cooperating participants and cooperation spaces which group participants involved in a particular cooperation together. Objects spaces are only accessed via cooperation spaces. This makes our model strongly cooperation oriented. The Group notion structures our system, called O...

Air-traffic management (ATM) consists of a predictive component (traffic planning) and an adaptive component (traffic control). The aim of the predictive component is to balance airspace demand with available capacity. The adaptive component has to guide aircraft safely to their destinations, once they are in the air. Uncertainties (e.g delay from connecting flights, technical failure) create t...

Professor Philippe Smets passed away on Monday night November the 14th, at home with his family around. He had been suffering from a brain tumor for several months. For those interested in uncertainty modeling and handling, he was an outstanding researcher in this area, in some sense a guiding light. Philippe Smets was born in Brussels (Belgium) on November 27, 1938. He first received a medical...

We study how the presence of multiple participation opportunities coupled with individual learning about payoffs affects the ability of agents to coordinate efficiently in global coordination games. Two players face the option to invest irreversibly in a project in one of many rounds. The project succeeds if some underlying state variable θ is positive and both players invest, possibly asynchro...

This paper concerns a relatively new combinatorial structure called staircase tableaux. They were introduced in the context of the asymmetric exclusion process and Askey–Wilson polynomials, however, their purely combinatorial properties have gained considerable interest in the past few years. In this paper we further study combinatorial properties of staircase tableaux. We consider a general mo...
