(N) I THE TeV PICTURE

In this talk we shall discuss a not-so-standard model of strong and e I ectroweak i nteract ions. We will discuss some direct consequences of this model and finally we will speculate on the outlook for the future. Let’s now briefly describe the parameters of the standard model so that we will know exactly what we shall be missing in the not-so standard model which follows. There are three secto...

Revealing the Winds under the Rain. Part I: Passive Microwave Rain Retrievals Using a New Observation-Based Parameterization of Subsatellite Rain Variability and Intensity—Algorithm Description

Scatterometer ocean surface winds have been providing very valuable information to researchers and operational weather forecasters for over 10 years. However, the scatterometer wind retrievals are compromised when rain is present. Merely flagging all rain-affected areas removes the most dynamic and interesting areas from the wind analysis. Fortunately, the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite II ...

The Fountain Picture Books I, II and III

The description "first books specifically planned for mentally retarded children is misleading, although the authors' intention is genuine and to be commended. I' practice many books can be used to provide a basis for this particular teaching tecf1 nique, depending on the ingenuity and imagination of the teacher. On the whole the lively and attractive illustrations are the best part of th{ seri...

Rain Forest Classification Using J - Ers - I Sar Data

I The Amazon rain forest is a region of the earth that is undergoing rapid change. Man-made disturbance, such as clear cutting for agriculture or mining, is altering the rain forest ecosystem. For many parts of the rain forest, seasonal changes from the wet to the dry season are also significant. Changes in the seasonal cycle of floocfing and draining can cause significant alterations in the fo...
