Predicting species distribution is of fundamental importance for ecology and conservation. However, distribution models are usually established for only one region and it is unknown whether they can be transferred to other geographical regions. We studied ...
This paper presents a calibration framework based on the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) that can be used to condition hydrological model parameter distributions in scarcely gauged river basins, where data is uncertain, intermittent or ...
We define a new inhomogeneous mean-field algorithm to study the magnetic alloy LiHo1−xYxF4. The phase diagrams in the Hx-T, x-T and x-Hx planes are computed. The calculated critical temperature is overestimated by 27% and the critical field is underestimat ...
This paper presents a few examples of the application of electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) to solidification problems. For directionally solidified Al-Zn samples, this technique could reveal the change in dendrite growth directions from < 100 > to < ...
Digital media have become an integral part of modern lives. Whether surfing the web, making a wireless phone call, watching satellite TV, or listening to digital music, a large part of our professional and leisure time is filled with all things digital. Th ...
This article introduces a new measure of travel time reliability for implementation in the dynamic routing algorithm of an intelligent car navigation system. The measure is based on the log-normal distribution of travel time on a link and consists of two i ...
Background. Isolated lung perfusion (ILP) with free and a novel liposomal-encapsulated doxorubicin (Liporubicin, CT Sciences SA, Lausanne, Switzerland) was compared with respect to drug uptake and distribution in rat lungs bearing a sarcomatous tumor. ...
The Weibull distribution, used to describe the scaling of strength of materials, has been verified on a wide range of materials and geometries; however, the quality of the fitting tended to be less good towards the upper tail. Based on a previously develop ...
We demonstrate the importance of thermal effects such as temperature-induced electronic, magnetic and vibrational excitations, as well as structural defects in the first-principles calculations of the magnetic critical temperature of complex alloys using h ...
We address the problem of recognizing the visual focus of attention (VFOA) of meeting participants from their head pose and contextual cues. The main contribution of the paper is the use of a head pose posterior distribution as a representation of the head ...
