Road signs are prone to extreme winds that cause significant damage.Overhead sign structures can disrupt traffic and cause harm to the traveling public if a failure occurs under Hitting Strip extreme wind conditions.In this paper, we employ Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in a comparative study to understand the aerodynamics of standard, porous,
In this paper, we propose a new distance metric for the K-means clustering algorithm.Applying this metric in clustering a dataset, forms unequal clusters.This metric leads to a larger size for a cluster with a centroid away from the origin, rather than a cluster closer to the origin.The proposed metric is based on the Canberra distances and it is u
The Jamaican freshwater crab Sesarma fossarum (Decapoda: Brachyura: Sesarmidae) is endemic to western central Jamaica where it occurs in cave and surface streams of karst regions.In the present study, we examine the population genetic structure of the species, providing evidence for intraspecific differentiation and genetic substructure among twelv
Abstract We explore BPS quivers for D = 5 theories, compactified on a circle and geometrically engineered over local Calabi-Yau 3-folds, for which many of known machineries leading to (refined) indices fail due to the fine-tuning of the superpotential.For Abelian quivers, the counting reduces to a geometric one, but the technically challenging L 2
Background: Rett syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopment disorder which mainly affects females and is a common cause of mental retardation.Loss of purposeful hand movements, regression of acquired cognitive and motor skills and autistic features are the main criteria associated with this disorder.Sixty to ninety percent of Pendant the cases show
