چکیده

[1] Precipitating particle data from the DMSP F12 and F13 satellites has been merged with image data from the Ultraviolet Imager (UVI) on the Polar satellite. UVI images were combined within single transpolar passes of the DMSP F12 and F13 satellites. Pixel irradiances were then averaged into 1 1 bins along the satellite tracks, thus generating along-track irradiance profiles. Similarly, energy fluxes of precipitating electrons were averaged into 1 bins along the trajectory. The peaks in each set of profiles were isolated in order to compare photon irradiance with electron energy flux. The irradiance and energy flux data of hundreds of peaks were linearly correlated for January– February 1997 when the northern polar regions were in darkness and dayglow effects were minimal. In the premidnight and dawn sectors, good correlations (r > 0.7) arise between the photon irradiance and electron energy fluxes, while correlations for other sectors are not as good. The good correlation suggests that UVI fluxes can be directly calibrated to measure energy input without the additional complication of modeling, at least for some MLT sectors. Using this calibration, global maps of energy input into the aurora may be derived empirically.

Overexpression of LBH is associated with poor prognosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma

Purpose Limb-bud and heart (LBH) levels are correlated with adverse survival in several malignancies; however, their significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to determine the association between LBH status and clinical outcomes. Methods We selected 226 patients with HCC who were treated surgically between 2003 and 2010 at a single academi...

Can multiple shocks trigger ground level events?

A total of 16 Ground Level Events (GLE) occurred in solar cycle 23. These events, in which particle energies reach above 1 GeV/nuc, are the most energetic examples of Gradual Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) events. Over the past solar cycle, a great deal has been learned about these events observationally. However, the process by which particles are accelerated to these high energies is still pr...

Electron Ionization of Serine and Threonine: a Discussion about Peak Intensities

The present study describes the fragmentation under electron ionization (EI) of gas phase serine and threonine amino acids. Ab initio methods were performed to calculate the fragmentation paths and interpret the mass spectra. The six lowest energy conformers of L-serine, L-threonine and L-allo-threonine were obtained with B3LYP, G3MP2 and MP2 methods. The adiabatic and vertical ionizat...

A Study of Bit Condition for Generation Rx -Mode Waves: Interaction of Particles with Z/UH-Mode Waves

Interactions of charge particles with electromagnetic waves have important effects (linear and nonlinear) on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and it can somewhat play a role in generation of the new mode waves. Besides, the particle energies can play an important role in causing instability in plasma. The values of parallel energy of the particles have been calculated so that they can ...
