Global and Local Properties of Noninteracting Irregular Galaxies
… irregular galaxies, we have obtained optical and radio data on global and local scales for a sample of 26 irregulars with high star formation rates (SFR) and 17 comparison objects. Global properties of the systems were explored through the stellar and gaseous contents and abundances obtained …

Global and local motion priors and their applications
With the rising popularity and accessibility of cameras as well as the arrival of popular video sharing websites like YouTube.com, Google Video, veoh.com, and many others, large quantities of video are produced and available everyday. With all this data, it becomes necessary to find ways of …

Mechanochemical transformations: Bridging the gap between global and local kinetics
Deeply rooted in metallurgy and materials science, mechanochemistry is presently one of the most rapidly growing research subjects in chemistry. Mechanochemical reactions are generally performed in ball mills, where the powders are subjected to forging events during individual collisions. Precisely …

Interactions between global and local performance incentives on decision-making and categorization
… work has shown that the regulatory fit between global approach/avoidance goals and the local approach/avoidance mechanisms of goal pursuit influence cognition and behavior in predictable ways. A regulatory fit leads to an increase in motivation and engagement relative to a regulatory mismatch. …

Resource recovery from sanitation to amplify development: Navigating global and local possibilities
… Goals (SDGs). However, persistent uncertainties and concerns (e.g., economics, social appropriateness) across a variety of scales and settings limit implementation, and failures are common. Decision-makers require more rigorous methods and tools to characterize various sanitation, recovery, and …

A system-theoretic approach to global and local regulation in neuron morphologies
… is a crucial neuronal mechanism for learning and memory. It allows synapses to change their strength over time. This dissertation focuses on a particular form of synaptic plasticity called synaptic scaling, a homeostatic mechanism that preserves relative synaptic strengths in an …

Global and local performance of prestressed girder bridges with positive moment continuity detail
Global as well as local behavior of prestressed girder bridges made continuous by adding continuity diaphragms with a recently proposed positive moment continuity detail were investigated in this study. The focus of the investigation is on the positive moment caused by temperature gradients, time …

Global and local trajectories of social standardisation: The cases of Argentina and Brazil
… the interaction between a particular type of global governance mechanism – social standardisation – and national political economic structures in two countries of the global South: Argentina and Brazil. In doing so it provides a greater understanding of the emergence of new governance …

Global and Local Models for Dilution Factors: Theory and Stimulated Emission Pumping Experiments
… ground electronic state from first excited state and the 7,000--10,000+ cm-1 range from the second electronic state. An extended cross correlation analysis was applied to obtain more accurate measurements of dilution factors. Simulated SEP spectra were constructed according to two theoretical …

Manipulating spatial frequency to understand global and local information processing in 7-month-old infants
… part they are also decomposing it, using finer and finer parts. One way to test this theory is to simply control the parts infants see. This easiest way to do this is to filter real life objects of their high and low spatial frequencies. High spatial frequencies provide information about the …
