In this paper, an autocorrelation and cross-correlation analysis of the flow of the Kupa and Sava rivers was performed. The analysis was performed at hydrological stations close to the confluence of these two rivers near the city of Sisak, based on data of mean daily flows and daily precipitation. The analysed time period is from 2008 to 2017, with the series being divided into two parts of five years each, from 2008 to 2012 and 2013 to 2017. Daily flow data were measured at the hydrological stations Farkašić on the Kupa River and Crnac on the Sava River, and data on precipitation at the main meteorological station and the automatic meteorological station Sisak. The maximum value of the cross-correlation function between the hydrological stations at the Kupa and Sava rivers is very high, but at a time lag of zero days. The value of the cross-correlation function remains high, up to 0.6 and up to a 4 day lag. The cross-correlation function between precipitation and hydrological data has a very low maximum value.

In order to establish better communication between applied entomology and fundamental ecology to consider an integrated control against the Australian cochineal Icerya purshasi Maskell, 1879 (Homoptera: Margarodidae) the most formidable pest for citrus fruits, a study on the Spatio-temporal dynamics of the parasite were followed for two years in a clementine orchard in Western Mitidja in Algeria. Ten-day samples of leaves and twigs were carried out from 2017 to 2018. The level of I. purchasi infestation is very high throughout the study period when the minimum threshold exceeds 400 individuals, with 3 intense periods of infestations: spring, summer and fall during the two years. The population of young larval stages is the largest during the two years of study with 13,323 individuals (62.79%) and 13,968 individuals (54.39%) in 2017 and 2018 respectively against 7896 individuals (37.21%) in 2017 and 11,715 individuals (33.50%) in 2018 for adults. Tukey's pairwise comparison test on the companion plan shows that the 2018 one is the most important from an overall effective point of view (ANOVA p≤1%, Tukey's test p≤1%). The Cross-Correlation Test shows the presence of a time lag (p=0.0371, p≤5%) and the maximum overall abundance was reported around mid-July for both campaigns. Statistical tests show that females show the same fertility during the two campaigns (ANOVA, p≤5%). peak fertility in 2017 was reported in mid-June, while peak fertility was reported in mid-July for the 2018 campaign. The Cross-Correlation Test shows a very significant time lag from one month to another (p=0.0064, p≤1%).

Techniques to identify and correlate the propagation of electrical signals (like action potentials) along neural networks are well described, using multisite recordings. In these cases, the waveform of action potentials is usually relatively stable and discriminating relevant electrical signals straightforward. However, problems can arise when attempting to identify and correlate the propagation of signals when their waveforms are unstable (e.g., fluctuations in amplitude or time course). This makes correlation of the degree of synchronization and time lag between propagating electrical events across two or more recording sites problematic. Here, we present novel techniques for the determination of the periodicity of electrical signals at individual sites. When recording from two independent sites, we present novel analytical techniques for joint determination of periodicity and time delay. The techniques presented exploit properties of the cross-correlation function, rather than utilizing the time lag at which the cross-correlation function is maximized. The approach allows determination of directionality of the spread of excitation along a neural network based on measurements of the time delay between recording sites. This new method is particularly applicable to analysis of signals in other biological systems that have unstable characteristics in waveform that show dynamic variability. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The determination of frequency(s) at which two sources are synchronized, and relative time delay between them, is a fundamental problem for a wide a range of signal-processing applications. In this methodology paper, we present novel procedures for periodicity estimation for single time series and joint periodicity and time delay estimation for two time series. The methods use properties of the cross-correlation function rather than the cross-correlation function explicitly.

Abstract. The analysis of the cross-correlation between the seismicity and the daily water level changes in both the Koyna and Warna (India) reservoirs is studied. The time lag between both datasets is calculated and is applied to estimate the hydraulic diffusivity. The range of the hydraulic diffusivity estimated between 0.1 m2 s−1 and 10 m2 s−1.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most widely used geophysical survey methods to locate cavities under roads due to its speedy exploration and high-resolution imaging. To locate underground cavities using GPR, we need to distinguish between cavity-induced reflections and other reflections, which can be achieved by examining the polarity change in reflections compared to the polarity of the transmitted signal. The polarity change can be measured from the phase shift between the target and first reflections. To estimate the phase shift in reflections, the method of computing the power spectrum difference between the original trace and background signal was proposed, but the method has a limitation for shallow reflectors. As an alternative method to avoid this limitation, we propose using only one component of the power spectrum difference, the cross-correlation between the target reflection and background signal. The cross-correlation has its maximum peak at a time lag between the target and first reflection (from the air-ground interface). Additionally, the phase at that time lag represents a phase shift between the two reflections. We compare our cross-correlation-based method with the conventional method of computing the whole power spectrum difference and investigate the feasibility of our method for distinguishing cavity-induced reflections using a 2D field data set acquired in a testbed in Sudeoksa, Korea.

AbstractThis work deals with the examination of tool marks in human cartilage. We compared the effectiveness of several cleaning methods on cut marks in porcine cartilage. The method cleaning by multiple casts achieved the significantly highest scores (P = 0.02). Furthermore, we examined the grain-like elevations (dots) located on casts of cut cartilage. The results of this study suggest that the casting material forms these dots when penetrating cartilage cavities, which are areas where the strong collagen fibres leave space for the chondrocytes. We performed fixation experiments to avoid this, without success. In addition, 31 casting materials were compared regarding contrast under light-microscope and 3D tool marks scanner. Under the light-microscope, brown materials achieved significantly higher values than grey (P = 0.02) or black (P = 0.00) whereas under the 3D scanner, black materials reached higher contrast values than grey (P = 0.04) or brown (P = 0.047). To compare the accuracy and reproducibility of 6 test materials for cartilage, we used 10 knives to create cut marks that were subsequently scanned. During the alignment of the individual signals of each mark, the cross-correlation coefficients (Xmax) and lags (LXmax) were calculated. The signals of the marks in agarose were aligned with significantly fewer lags and achieved significantly higher cross-correlation coefficients compared to all tested materials (both P = 0.00). Moreover, we determined the cross-correlation coefficients (XC) for known-matches (KM) per material. Agarose achieved significantly higher values than AccuTrans®, Clear Ballistics™, and gelatine (all P = 0.00). The results of this work provide valuable insights for the forensic investigation of marks in human costal cartilage.
