Long-term evolution of magnetospheric current systems during storms

The Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”

The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...

The Electric Current-systems of Magnetic Storms

1. This paper continues my discussion of the average characteristics of the field of geomagnetic disturbances or storms, given in two previous papers • which will be referred to as I and 2; the irregular part of magnetic disturbance is not considered. A condensed representation of the main average features of magnetic storms is given in 1 (pp. 61-72) and 2 (pp. 242-264), and evidence is describ...

Modeling magnetospheric current response to solar wind dynamic pressure enhancements during magnetic storms: 2. Application to different storm phases

[1] Two patterns of ground H perturbation as response to pressure enhancements during different phases of storms are found. One is polarity asymmetry under southward IMF Bz, e.g., 25 September 1998, 29 May 2003, and 10 January 1997 events; the other is positive H perturbation everywhere under northward IMF Bz, e.g., 7 November 2000 event. The polarity asymmetry can be further divided into two c...

Downlink cross-layer scheduling strategies for long-term evolution and long-term evolution-advanced systems

The most recent trend in the Information and Communication Technology world is toward an ever growing demand of mobile heterogeneous services that imply the management of different quality of service requirements and priorities among different type of users. The long-term evolution (LTE)/LTE-advanced standards have been introduced aiming to cope with this challenge. In particular, the resource ...
