Toward Understanding Predictability of Climate: A Linear Stochastic Modeling Approach. (August 2003) Faming Wang, B.S., Shandong University; M.S., First Institute of Oceanography Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Ping Chang This dissertation discusses the predictability of the atmosphere-ocean climate system on interannual and decadal timescales. We investigate the extent to which the atmospheri...

this research was performed to evaluate the potentials of landsat mss data for map-ping land features in arid zones of southeastern esfahan, iran. databases of the area were formed using all available relevant maps and reports which were supported by fieldwork. a supervised image classification approach was used and thirty-two training areas were applied. separability of the spectral classes wa...

A bstract We use Lightcone Conformal Truncation to analyze the RG flow of two-dimensional supersymmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa theory, i.e. theory a real scalar superfield with ℤ 2 -symmetric cubic superpotential, aka 2d Wess-Zumino model. The depends on single dimensionless coupling $$ \overline{g} g ¯<...

Many questions concerning the semantics of disjunctive databases and of logic pro gramming systems depend on the xed points of various multivalued mappings and operators determined by the database or program We discuss known versions for mul tivalued mappings of the Knaster Tarski theorem and of the Banach contraction map ping theorem and formulate a version of the classical xed point theorem s...

We introduce route avoidance using alibi routing, in which a source can provably avoid a particular area when sending traffic to a destination. Our approach combines overlay routing and latency estimation using network coordinates to establish an “alibi” — a packet could not possibly have gone to the relay(s), the area to be avoided, and the destination within the considered timeframe. In our s...

We consider the numerical solution of an acoustic scattering problem by the Plane Wave Discontinuous Galerkin Method (PWDG) in the exterior of a bounded domain in R2. In order to apply the PWDG method, we introduce an artificial boundary to truncate the domain, and we impose a non-local Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) boundary condition on the artificial curve. To define the method, we introduce new...

In this paper we define and examine the truncated Witten genus. It is defined as the equivariant index of the Dirac operator on the manifold Map(Cp, M) with its natural Cp-action. Here, Map(Cp, M) is the space of maps from the cyclic group of order p into a closed, connected, spin manifold, By applying the Atiyah-Singer index theorem we give a topological formula for the truncated Witten genus ...
