A note on equivalences between various mixing scales [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this note, we provide with a simple example to show a defect in the definition of the geometric mixing scale, and then introduce an improved scale, called as the strong geometric mixing scale. The main theorem in this note is the equivalence between geometric mixing scale, strong geometric mixing scale and functional mixing scale, in the sense of ...

Geometry of River Networks I: Scaling, Fluctuations, and Deviations [PDF]
, 2000 This article is the first in a series of three papers investigating the detailed geometry of river networks. Large-scale river networks mark an important class of two-dimensional branching networks, being not only of intrinsic interest but also a ...

A Fractal Perspective on Scale in Geography
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016 Scale is a fundamental concept that has attracted persistent attention in geography literature over the past several decades. However, it creates enormous confusion and frustration, particularly in the context of geographic information science, because ...

Optimization of the Sequence of Washing Reverse Osmosis Membranes Used for Seawater Desalination [PDF]
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Quarterly, 2017 Seawater contains a number of organic and inorganic components that cause fouling of membranes when subjected to a process of reverse osmosis desalination. This fouling is one of the most important problems in the management of desalination plants, as it

Capturing and Characterizing Human Activities Using Building Locations in America
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019 Capturing and characterizing collective human activities in a geographic space have become much easier than ever before in the big era. In the past few decades it has been difficult to acquire the spatiotemporal information of human beings. Thanks to the

A methodology to characterize the energy transfer and inter-scale transport of coherent structures using mode decomposition [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A methodology is developed to quantify the transfer and transport of kinetic energy of specific scales associated with coherent structures. Coherent motions are characterized by the triple decomposition of a multi-scale flow and used to define mean, coherent, and random kinetic energy.

Characterization of G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) in breast epithelial proliferation and morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2012 Estrogen (17β-estradiol, E2) plays an important role in regulating an array of functions in both male and female reproductive physiology. In the mammary gland, E2-induced proliferation, ductal outgrowth and subsequent branching morphogenesis is required ...

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population
Population Ecology, EarlyView.This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
