Over the period from 1979 to 2001, tropospheric trends derived from a widely cited analysis of the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) temperature record show little or no warming, while surface temperature trends based on in situ observations show a pronounced warming of ;0.2 K decade21. This discrepancy between trends at the surface and in the upper atmosphere has been a source of significant debat...

Factorization algorithms for recovering structure and motion from an image stream have many advantages, but they usually require a set of well tracked features. Such a set is in general not available in practical applications. There is thus a need for making factorization algorithms deal effectively with errors in the tracked features. We propose a new and computationally efficient algorithm fo...

and reconciling rapid surface warming with upper-air temperatures, which were reported to have exhibited little if any warming over the satellite era (Folland et al. 2001; NRC 2000). This has led to a number of new satellite(Christy et al. 2003; Mears et al. 2003; Grody et al. 2004), radiosonde(Lanzante et al. 2003; Thorne et al. 2005), and reanalyses(Uppala et al. 2005) based upper-air tempera...

OBJECTIVES In the first issue of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, E.A. Hooton noted the expression of Eskimoid characteristics in the Icelandic skull, one of which was mandibular torus. Our goal is to evaluate this trait in another North Atlantic population, the Greenlandic Norse. MATERIALS AND METHODS An investigation of mandibular torus was carried out on all Greenlandic Norse...

15 evaluate the correction term for each triple in the left side of table 1, but for brevity of exposition we will evaluate this term only for a sample of each class (T 2 and T 4).

3 Video is a novel and expanding technology for positive be-havioral support. Because it is acceptable and widely used by typical adults and children for leisure, educational, and business activities, it has considerable potential as an effective , socially acceptable form of support. The use of video technology can lead to a range of positive social, language, and academic outcomes for childre...

The double lepton pair decay modes of the KL meson are analyzed including all contributions of order p in Chiral Perturbation Theory. The experimentally established eeee mode and the recently observed eeμμ mode are discussed in detail. Typeset using REVTEX 0 In this note we reconsider the double lepton pair decays KL → llll that were studied many years ago by Miyazaki and Takasugi [1]. The two ...

How did I find myself leading family-centered rounds a while ago in the NICU, yet unable to actually see any of my team members, not to mention my patient’s parents sitting just several feet away? I looked up while listening to a summary of the infant’s overnight events, and suddenly it hit me, something was amiss. My entire team was hidden, our views obstructed, from each other and the patient...
