Abstract. Light Transport Constancy (LTC) asserts that the reflectance ratio obtained from two different illumination variations remains constant for any given view of the observed scene. LTC was proposed in [21] as a ...

The selection of a maintenance strategy is a decision often made with uncertainty or subjectivity. This decision involves the prioritization of critical factors since there are several factors to be considered simultaneously. ...

Ecologists have long searched for a universal size-scaling constant that governs trophic interactions. Although this is an appealing theoretical concept, predator-prey size ratios (PPSRs) vary strikingly across and within ...

It is not appropriate to compare ratio-based expressions for different cultivars or treatments if a plot of the denominator versus the numerator of a ratio-based expression has a nonzero y-intercept and the values for ...

This study analyzes the FCL/sales ratio as a proxy for value in companies in the automotive sector, emphasizing the analysis of value inducers. To carry out the study, we use descriptive and inferential statistics, such ...

El presente trabajo indaga la noción de razón real (ratio rei) a partir de algunos textos de Alberto Magno y de Tomás de Aquino; o más bien, la posible proyección que de dicha noción pudiera observarse desde la obra de ...

Aims. We study the 12C/13C isotopic ratio in the disk of the central molecular zone and in the halo to trace gas accretion toward the Galactic center region in the Milky Way. Methods. Using the IRAM 30m telescope, we ...
