Hellenistic and Roman grave steles in Asia Minor were usually produced and put in place for a unique, specific purpose and intended for eternal display at the tomb.We can see, however, that even long before the ventilationstejp Late Antique period when the recycling of spolia became frequent, these grave steles were reused and repurposed as grave s
Stretching response of Rortex and other vortex-identification schemes
By considering a uniaxial stretching coupled with an inevitable uniform radial contraction for incompressible flow, a straightforward comparison of the stretching response for several popular vortex-identification criteria aluminum lotion and the recently proposed vortex vector (Rortex) is presented.In addition, the outcome of the triple-decomposit
Plant diversity patterns along an elevation gradient: the relative impact of environmental and spatial variation on plant diversity and assembly in arid and semi-arid regions
The spatial distribution pattern of species diversity and its driving variables are essential to understanding how biodiversity will respond to the threat of future climatic instability.This study examines how the alpha and beta diversity indices vary along the elevation gradient and which factors are more responsible for arid and semi-arid plant d
