Aggregate Stability and Size Distribution

open access: yesSSSA Book Series, 2018
An aggregate is a group of primary particles that cohere to each other more strongly than to other surrounding soil particles. Most adjacent particles adhere to some degree.

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

A study on stabilization of operation time for hydraulic operating circuit breaker (Simulation and investigation of hydraulic stabilization system holding constant high pressure)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
Numerical simulation for a hydraulic operation stabilizing system of gas circuit breaker (GCB) driven by a hydraulic operating mechanism is treated . Valve collision and hydraulic column separation, created in hydraulic fluid by the movement of valves ...

Matter Distribution around Galaxies

open access: yes, 2011
We explore the mass distribution of material associated with galaxies from the observation of gravitational weak lensing for the galaxy mass correlation function with the aid of $N$-body simulations of dark matter.

Reversal of Fortune: Geography and Institutions in the Making of the Modern World Income Distribution

open access: yes, 2001
Among countries colonized by European powers during the past 500 years those that were relatively rich in 1500 are now relatively poor. We document this reversal using data on urbanization patterns and population density, which, we argue, proxy for ...

Distribution of repetitive DNA sequences in eubacteria and application to fingerprinting of bacterial genomes.

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1991
Dispersed repetitive DNA sequences have been described recently in eubacteria. To assess the distribution and evolutionary conservation of two distinct prokaryotic repetitive elements, consensus oligonucleotides were used in polymerase chain reaction ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

On Characterising Distributability [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2013
We formalise a general concept of distributed systems as sequential components interacting asynchronously. We define a corresponding class of Petri nets, called LSGA nets, and precisely characterise those system specifications which can be implemented as LSGA nets up to branching ST-bisimilarity with explicit divergence.

Design of oil wear debris online monitoring system based on optical method

open access: yesDianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2018
Aiming at the shortcomings of the existing monitoring methods for mechanical wear, a design is proposed in this paper for oil wear particles online monitoring system based on optical method, which can realize the detection for internal wear of gear box ...

Secure Quantum Key Distribution

open access: yes, 2014
Secure communication plays a crucial role in the Internet Age. Quantum mechanics may revolutionise cryptography as we know it today. In this Review Article, we introduce the motivation and the current state of the art of research in quantum cryptography.
