Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the effect of changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level have been slow compared to other processes during instrumental record, such that our knowledge comes primarily from models, experiments, and geologic record. Here we review current state science delta response change, including ...

The evolving complex software models are designed and maintained by a team of designers using collaborative modeling tools with a support of version control. Collaborative modeling tools provide a teamwork of several designers on a shared modeling artifact, whereas model version control is used to store, manage and handle the histories of that model. During the evolution and maintenance process...

The Xdelta system implements a technique for archiving and compressing collections of many similar le versions. It stores only the diierences between certain versions. I describe and discuss an algorithm for computing le deltas, present measurements, and demonstrate its application to versioned le-archival and eecient le-distribution network protocols. 1 Overview The le delta problem is to comp...

Maintenance of serum albumin levels within normal limits is difficult to achieve in nephrotic children with normal renal functions who are unresponsive to specific treatment. One approach in such children is unilateral nephrectomy with rapid progression to renal failure. Peritoneal membrane is permeable to fluids, electrolytes and proteins, and peritoneal space has been used for total parentera...

Deltas have long been considered a constraining element to reconstruct the water level of an ancient ocean that may once occupied northern lowlands Mars, and recently this hypothesis started be challenged. We investigate present global inventory fan-shaped features showing typical deltaic traits across entire Martian surface. For each element, we provide descriptive details classifications base...

The final stages of the MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation analysis made an exciting backdrop for my REU working with Columbia Professor Janet Conrad at Fermilab this summer. MiniBooNE is a νμ → νe oscillation search designed to check to controversial LSND [1] result. My work focused on isolating neutral current delta baryons which undergo the rare electromagnetic decay. When deltas decay via the s...

Evidence is presented to show that for a squid axon membrane the potential response, V, is a smoothly continuous function of a stimulating current, I. This makes it unlikely that an all-or-none or sharp transition phenomenon is a major factor in the processes by which ions cross the normal squid axon membrane and, probably, other excitable membranes. Spatially uniform V and I were first produce...

Crystalline soybean trypsin inhibitor protein undergoes denaturation on heating which is reversed on cooling. In the range of temperature of 35 to 50 degrees C. a solution of the protein consists of a mixture of native and denatured forms in equilibrium with each other. The equilibrium is only slowly established and its final value at any temperature is the same whether a heated, denatured solu...

The reaction between chromium(III) and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA) takes place in at least three stages, involving various intermediates. The ligand (2,3-DHBA)-to-chromium(III) ratio in the final product of the reaction is 1 : 1. The first stage is suggested to be the reaction of [Cr(H(2)O)(5)(OH)](2+) with the ligand in weak acidic aqueous solutions that follows an I(d) mechanism. The...
