Abstract:

The numerical investigations presented in this paper deal with wind tunnel testing scheme design for 1/4 scaled MIRA model including supporting system. Based on the structure of aerodynamic and aero-acoustic full scale wind tunnel, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), focus on MIRA model and supporting system, the drag force of scaled models and supporting system were calculated. By comparing with the wind tunnel testing results and drag force coefficient of reference, it is certain that the wind tunnel testing scheme is available and effective and that the value calculated by CFD is in g

Abstract:

Summary Reservoir stimulation is commonly used to increase well-production rates and enable economic oil and gas recovery from conventional and unconventional reservoirs. One potential stimulation method that has been laboratory tested as a means to increase well injectivity after conventional hydraulic fracturing is mechanical-impulse hydraulic fracturing (MIHF). MIHF is a high-strain-rate stimulation method that uses a mechanical-energy source as an alternative to rapid gas expansion. Field-scale viability of MIHF was evaluated by use of elastic mechanics and thermodynamics. Results from lab

Aims. Using data from the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, we evaluate the physical properties of the surface and subsurface of the nucleus and derive estimates for the thermal inertia (TI) and roughness in several regions on the largest lobe of the nucleus. Methods. We have developed a thermal model to compute the temperature on the surface and in the uppermost subsurface layers of the nucleus. The model takes heat conduction, self-heating, and shadowing effects into account. To reproduce the brightness temperatures measured by the MIRO instrument, the thermal model is coup

Abstract:

Mira and non-Mira M stars are easily distinguished by means of their near-infrared colours. The Miras show a large range of mass-loss rates, and the actual rates are a strong function of the K-[12] colour. The kinematics and scale heights of these Miras are a function of their pulsation periods. The period distribution of Miras in the South Galactic Cap is similar to that of Miras in the Bulge. Non-Mira M stars in the South Galactic Cap have similar colours to their counterparts in the Bulge but differ from bright M-giants in the solar neighbourhood.

Abstract:

Although item response theory (IRT) models such as the bifactor, two-tier, and between-item-dimensionality IRT models have been devised to confirm complex dimensional structures in educational and psychological data, they can be challenging to use in practice. The reason is that these models are multidimensional IRT (MIRT) models and thus are highly parameterized, making them only suitable for data provided by large samples. Unfortunately, many educational and psychological studies are conducted on a small scale, leaving the researchers without the necessary MIRT models to confirm the hypothes

Problem uCS-MIRL is a cooperative game in which the agents employ cooperative strategies that aim to maximize the total game value. In problem uCE-MIRL, agents are assumed to follow strategies that constitute a correlated equilibrium while maximizing total game value. Problem uNE-MIRL is similar to uCE-MIRL in total gam

Environmental conditions influence the way different types of vegetation are distributed on various scales from the landscape to the globe. However, vegetation does not simply respond passively but may influence its environment in ways that shape those distributions. On the landscape scale, feedbacks from vegetation can lead to patterns that are not easily interpreted as merely reflecting external abiotic conditions. For example, sharp ecotones exist between two vegetation types, even if the basic abiotic gradient is slight, somewhere along the gradient. These are observed in transitions betwe

Abstract:

There has been debate regarding the factor structure of the Children's Coping Strategies Scale (CCSS); in most previous studies there were different subscales, representing coping strategies. However, according to the theoretically multidimensional construct of coping, coping consists of an adaptive process and uses the lowest possible level of coping strategy. Accordingly, this study applies a new method of multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) to testing the latent structure of teenagers’ coping strategies and to improve the construct validity of the CCSS. The participants were 1,138

Abstract:

A paleoecological study (macrofossils, pollen, cryptogam spores, non-pollen palynomorphs) was performed to investigate environmental changes recorded on the peat deposits of the La Narce du Béage mire (Massif Central, France). We reconstructed the development of a limnogenous mire ecosystem during the Holocene, consequently to the infilling of a small Late Glacial lake.

Abstract:

A high-resolution macrofossil analysis was conducted to reconstruct spruce budworm abundance in an 8600-year-old mire in Saguenay, Québec, Canada. Abundant spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana [Clem.]) faeces recovered in the peat profile suggested endemic and epidemic presence of the insect in the study site since 8240 cal. BP. Important variations in the abundance of faeces were observed, and two exceptional periods of insect activity were delineated, from 6815 to 6480 cal. BP and during the twentieth century. Lepidoptera head capsules were also found in the Lac des Îlets peat profile. T

Abstract:

First year survival patterns in a cohort of natural Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) seedlings were assessed with an extreme value regression model. Extreme value distributions were fit to the data, assuming equal scale parameters among treatments but allowing location parameters to vary. The regression approach using indicator variables facilitated statistical comparison of survival curves among several habitats and treatments.

Abstract Background Mirikizumab (miri), a p19-directed IL-23 antibody, demonstrated efficacy and was well-tolerated in a phase 2 randomised clinical trial in patients with moderate-to-severe UC (NCT02589665). This abstract explores gene expression changes in colonic tissue from study patients and their association with clinical outcomes. Methods Patients were randomised 1:1:1:1 to receive intravenous placebo (PBO, N = 63), miri 50 mg (N = 63) or 200 mg (N = 62) with the possibility of exposure-based dose increases, or fixed miri 600 mg (N = 61) every 4 weeks for 12 weeks.

Abstract This paper describes a new high-resolution multiplatform multisensor satellite rainfall product for southern Africa covering the period 1993–2002. The microwave infrared rainfall algorithm (MIRA) employed to generate the rainfall estimates combines high spatial and temporal resolution Meteosat infrared data with infrequent Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) overpasses. A transfer function relating Meteosat thermal infrared cloud brightness temperatures to SSM/I rainfall estimates is derived using collocated data from the two instruments and then applied to the full coverage of th

The goals of this research were to evaluate the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (BCS) translation of the BIDR-6 scale, develop its short form, and to present its initial convergent/discriminative validation. The sample included 827 participants. MIRT CFA analysis revealed that fourfactor model (containing 32/40 items) fits the data best, with Self-Deceptive Enhancement (SDE) and Impression Management (IM) both splitting into the denial (SD-D and IM-D) and enhancement (SD-E and IM-E) factors. Fit and item properties were generally mediocre. SD-D and IM-E subscales were the strongest sources of misfit,

Abstract:

Elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFDs) have been used extensively in shape analysis of closed contours and have a range of marine applications, such as automatic identification of fish species and discrimination between fish stocks based on EFDs of otolith contours. A recent method (the ‘MIRR’ method) transforms the two-dimensional contour to a one-dimensional function by mirroring (reflecting) the lower half of the contour around a vertical axis at the right end of the contour. MIRR then applies the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to the vertical contour points corresponding to equidistant coordi

Abstract:

Andøya is an island in the north of Norway. On its eastern side, it contains a local downfaulted basin of Mesozoic sediments sheltered from erosion during subsequent periods of Pleistocene glaciation. The sediments were deposited before the North Atlantic rifting and partly overlie weathered basement. We have recently carried out seismic surveying to better understand the geometry and seismic responses of the basin system. Extensive civil infrastructure and wet mire made the study area challenging for seismic exploration. We shot the survey lines at wet mire with detonating cord during winter
