The contributions of the correlated and uncorrelated components of the electron-pair density to atomic and molecular intracule I(r) and extracule E(R) densities and its Laplacian functions ∇2I(r) and ∇2E(R) are analyzed at the Hartree-Fock (HF) and configuration interaction (CI) levels of theory. The topologies of the uncorrelated components of these functions can be rationalized in terms of the corresponding one-electron densities. In contrast, by analyzing the correlated components of I(r) and E(R), namely, IC(r) and EC(R), the effect of electron Fermi and Coulomb correlation can be assessed at the HF and CI levels of theory. Moreover, the contribution of Coulomb correlation can be isolated by means of difference maps between IC(r) and EC(R) distributions calculated at the two levels of theory. As application examples, the He, Ne, and Ar atomic series, the C2-2, N2, O2+2 molecular series, and the C2H4 molecule have been investigated. For these atoms and molecules, it is found that Fermi correlation accounts for the main characteristics of IC(r) and EC(R), with Coulomb correlation increasing slightly the locality of these functions at the CI level of theory. Furthermore, IC(r), EC(R), and the associated Laplacian functions, reveal the short-ranged nature and high isotropy of Fermi and Coulomb correlation in atoms and molecules

Detecting changes between images of the same scene taken at different times is of great interest for monitoring and understanding the environment. It is widely used for on-land application but suffers from different constraints. Unfortunately, Change detection algorithms require highly accurate geometric and photometric registration. This requirement has precluded their use in underwater imagery in the past. In this paper, the change detection techniques available nowadays for on-land application were analyzed and a method to automatically detect the changes in sequences of underwater images is proposed. Target application scenarios are habitat restoration sites, or area monitoring after sudden impacts from hurricanes or ship groundings. The method is based on the creation of a 3D terrain model from one image sequence over an area of interest. This model allows for synthesizing textured views that correspond to the same viewpoints of a second image sequence. The generated views are photometrically matched and corrected against the corresponding frames from the second sequence. Standard change detection techniques are then applied to find areas of difference. Additionally, the paper shows that it is possible to detect false positives, resulting from non-rigid objects, by applying the same change detection method to the first sequence exclusively. The developed method was able to correctly find the changes between two challenging sequences of images from a coral reef taken one year apart and acquired with two different cameras

Una sitja és una cavitat subterrània destinada a emmagatzemar la collita, especialment de cereals. Amb el manteniment d'unes condicions ideal de temperatura i humitat els cereals s'hi poden conservar durant un llarg període de temps, que segons Varró podria arribar als 50 anys. Aquestes excepcionals possibilitats han possibilitat que l'emmagatzematge en sitges fos un dels mètodes de conservació de cereals a llarg termini més utilitzat en les societats pre-industrials de tot el món. La sitja estàndard del nord-est de Catalunya és aquella que era excavada a l'argila, no portava revestiment i tenia la boca en forma de tub, de 0,77 m de diàmetre màxim per 0,42 de profunditat. El perfil era de tipus còncau, amb el diàmetre màxim situat en el terç central de la sitja, i un fons indistintament còncau o pla. La profunditat i el diàmetre màxim es situarien entre 1,75 i 2 m., amb un marge de diferència reduïdíssim entre ambdues mesures. La capacitat resultant d'aquestes dimensions se situaria entre 1 i 3 tones de cereals, que en termes estàndards de producció seria el resultat de la collita d'una extensió d'entre 1,5 i 4 hectàrees de terreny. ASBTRACT: A silo is an underground cavity designed to store the harvest, especially grain. With the maintenance of ideal conditions of temperature and moisture grains can be preserved for a long period of time, according to Varró it could reach 50 years. These exceptional opportunities have enabled the storage silos to be one of the methods of long-term conservation of grain used in most pre-industrial societies around the world. The standard silo from the North-East of Catalonia was excavated in clay,it had no siding and its mouth was tube-shaped, up to 0.77 m of maximum diameter to 0.42 deep. The profile was concave, with maximum diameter located in the central third of the silo, and a background either concave or flat. The depth and maximum diameter are located between 1.75 and 2 m, with a very little margin of difference between the two measures. The capacity resulting from these dimensions would be located between 1 and 3 tons of cereals, which in terms of production standards it would mean a harvest of between 1.5 and 4 hectares of ground.
