Abstract Atmospheric blocking events, which cause abnormal weather conditions, have been studied from a viewpoint of quasi‐stationary barotropic circulation systems because their apparent lack vertical tilt. However, this work demonstrates that events often such structure anomalies in geopotential height and temperature are horizontally out‐of‐phase, allowing to produce fluxes heat against the ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the viability of a probabilistic record linkage strategy to identify patients who underwent complex cardiology procedures among the total deceased population. METHODS The processing cost was estimated based on 1,672 records of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting that were compared with all death records in Brazil in 2005. The accuracy of the linkage strat...

Orthorectification reflects a large amount of real and objective information, such as the characteristics images geometric accuracy maps. Conducting batch orthorectification is process with high time cost owing to pixelwise correction each image. A common approach use graphics processing unit (GPU) parallel computing accelerate processing. However, most existing GPU acceleration studies have ad...

blocking antibodies are valuable tools for inhibiting the specific receptor- ligand interactions. the interaction of co-stimulatory molecules on the antigen presenting cells with their ligands on t cells is an essential step for t cell activation. in the present study, the effect of blocking antibody against cd40 on its t cell stimulatory potential is investigated. the dcs (dendritic cells) wer...

For the purpose of light extraction and efficiency enhancement, the nitride-based ultraviolet vertical-injection light-emitting diodes (UV-VLEDs) with non-insulation current blocking layer (n-CBL) and optimized textured surface were fabricated. The optical and electrical characteristics were investigated in this n-CBL UV-VLED. Furthermore, the efficiency of optimized structure was improved by 5...

The time for blocking neuromuscular transmission by botulinum toxin is lengthened in phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation of rats sacrificed at various times after subcutaneous injection of toosendanin (7 mg/kg). This effect of toosendanin manifests itself 15 min after injection and lasts for 3 days. During this period the frequency of miniature end-plate potentials is increased.

We developed a 4×4 fully non-blocking crossbar switch fabric based on interferometric thermal phase shifters, where heating is achieved using resistive elements around the silicon waveguide. We achieved switching times of 5 μs, with 41 mW power consumption in an individual switching element.

We give examples of stochastic processes in the Gelfand Tsetlin cone in which each component evolves independently apart from a blocking and pushing interaction. The processes give couplings to certain conditioned Markov processes, last passage times and asymetric exclusion processes. An example of a cone valued process whose components cannot escape past a wall at the origin is also considered.
