<p style='text-indent:20px;'>We study a uniform-in-time continuum limit of the lattice Winfree model(LWM) and its asymptotic dynamics which depends on system functions such as natural frequency function coupling strength function. The model(CWM) is an integro-differential equation for temporal evolution phase field. LWM describes synchronous behavior weakly coupled oscillators lying in co...

Abstract The influences of trait diversity (i.e., the niche complementarity effect) and functional composition mass ratio on aboveground biomass (AGB) is a highly debated topic in forest ecology. Therefore, further studies are needed to explore these mechanisms unstudied ecosystems enhance our understanding, provide guidelines for specific management. Here, we hypothesized that would drive AGB ...

We introduce the time-parallel compound wavelet matrix method (tpCWM) for modeling the temporal evolution of multiscale and multiphysics systems. The method couples time parallel (TP) and CWM methods operating at different spatial and temporal scales. We demonstrate the efficiency of our approach on two examples: a chemical reaction kinetic system and a non-linear predator–prey system. Our resu...

In current data warehouse environments there is either no or only insufficient support for a consistent and comprehensive metadata management. Typically, a multitude of largely autonomous and heterogeneously organized repositories coexist. We categorize the major metadata types and their interdependencies within a three-dimensional classification approach. We then investigate how interoperabili...

This paper presents a robust de-noising model for image enhancement using adaptive median filtering. In this approach image noise is detected with a standard median filter using an adaptive window. Within the window, the original value of the center pixel is changed to a newer that is closer to or same as the standard median. A comparison has been arranged among the proposed method, the standar...

With the ever-growing availability of so-called complex data, especially on the Web, decision-support systems such as data warehouses must store and process data that are not only numerical or symbolic. Warehousing and analyzing such data requires the joint exploitation of metadata and domain-related knowledge, which must thereby be integrated. In this paper, we survey the types of knowledge an...

The literature on conflict management offers two explanations of why the effectiveness of thirdparties to settle militarized disputes differs. The structural research tradition focuses on conflictcharacteristics, while the individualist approaches highlight the background, skills and powerof a mediator, as well as the mediation strategy. This article reconciles these two approaches,...

Accounting for intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is crucial to plant ecology vegetation modeling efforts. ITV can be substantial; however, it remains unclear how influences community-weighted mean (CWM) estimates. We use leaf and root data from 423 trees of 72 species 15 Angiosperm families in combination with community 164 25 × m plots comprising 580 evaluate the contributions compositional ...
