Chemical reactions and other transitions involving rearrangements of atoms can be studied theoretically by analyzing a potential energy surface defined in a high-dimensional space of atom coordinates. Local minimum points of the energy surface correspond ...

The advent of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) in recent years has expanded the scope of fisheries management, where policies are aimed not only at maximizing production (or biological yield) but also maintaining an optimal balance between ...

Introduction: Adult individuals with disability and low motor function frequently have body deformations, such as scoliosis and windswept hips. Posture management is a component of physical management, which aims to prevent or reduce the development ...

The purpose of this thesis is to develop spatio-temporal statistical models for glaciology, using the Bayesian hierarchical framework. Specifically, the process level is modeled as a time series of computer simulator outputs (i.e., from a numerical ...
