On generalized covering subgroups and a characterisation of ?pronormal?
Introduction. The context of this note is the theory of Schunck classes and formations of finite soluble groups. In a 1972 manuscript Fischer [4] generalized the concept of an ~-covering subgroup of a group G to a (P, ~)-covering subgroup, where P is some pronormal subgroup of G, and proved universal existence (for P satisfying a stronger embedding property) in case the class ~ is a saturated formation. The fact tha t the Schunck classes are the classes ~ with the property that every group has an ~-projector [9, 4.3, 4.4; 6] (which coincides with an ~-covering subgroup in the soluble universe | [6, II.15]) raises the question whether it is possible to determine the whole range of universal …
REGEOTOP: New climatic data fields for East Asia based on localized relief information and geostatistical methods
Climate data fields represent essential tools for climate, biogeographical and agricultural research to run models and to provide observational data for the verification of global climate models (GCM). Climate data fields are generated through interpolation of observations taken at meteorological stations. Most current interpolation procedures try to describe the influence of topography on spatial climatic variations by relating them directly to absolute elevation or by introducing simple relief variables such as exposure. In both cases this may not properly describe spatial climatic variations, particularly not those of precipitation. This paper describes a regionalization procedure (REGEO…
