Spatially explicit and stochastic forest landscape model of fire disturbance and succession
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Fire disturbance plays an important role in shaping ecosystem dynamics and vegetation patterns in many forested landscapes. This dissertation is dedicated to the modeling of fire disturbance in spatially explicit and ...
Delay equations and radiation damping
(arXiv, 2001)
Starting from delay equations that model field retardation effects, we study the origin of runawaymodes that appear in the solutions of the classical equations of motion involving the radiation reaction force. When retardation ...

On the Anomalous Silicate Emission Features of AGNs: A Possible Interpretation Based on Porous Dust
(arXiv, 2008)
this is generally interpreted as an indication of the deviations of the silicate composition, size, and degree of crystallization of AGNs from that of the Galactic ISM. In this Letter we show that the observed peak shift and profile broadening of the 9.7 micron...

Source localization using TDOA with erroneous receiver positions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
the source signal arrives at multiple spatially separated sensors. There are several methods to solve the TDOA source location problem, and two of the widely known methods are the Maximum Likelihood method and the Taylor-series method. Those methods assume...
Variety Market Development : A Bt Cotton Cropping Factor and Constraint in China
