Compact groups provide an environment to study the growth of galaxies amid multiple prolonged interactions. With their dense galaxy concentrations and relatively low velocity dispersions, compact groups mimic the conditions of hierarchical galaxy assembly. Compact group galaxies are known to show a bimodality in Spitzer IRAC infrared colorspace: galaxies are preferentially either quiescent with...

In order to support the development of channel models for higher frequency bands, multiple urban microcellular measurement campaigns have been carried out in Berlin, Germany, at 60 and 10 GHz. In this paper, the collected data is uniformly analyzed with focus on the path loss (PL) and the delay spread (DS). It reveals that the ground reflection has a dominant impact on the fading behavior. For ...

Twenty isolates of Jamestown Canyon virus were obtained from adult females of 5 Aedes species collected at the Houghton Lake Wildlife Research Area, Missaukee County, in north-central Michigan between 1985 and 1989. Fourteen were from Aedes provocans, and 6 were from 4 other snowmelt Aedes species. One isolate of trivittatus virus and one Cache Valley-like virus were also obtained. Seasonal suc...

[1] Continuous observation of sea surface temperature (SST) were obtained for a period of 27 hours over Barrow Canyon on 20–21 September 2002 using a small robotic aircraft called the Aerosonde. These observations demonstrated significant spatial and temporal variations in the SST at scales that would be very difficult to measure using mooring and satellite observations. Over a region of 25 km,...

Convective heat transfer coefficients for external building surfaces are essential in building energy simulation (BES) to calculate convective heat gains and losses from building facades and roofs to the environment. These coefficients are complex functions of: building geometry, building surroundings, local air flow patterns and temperature differences. A microclimatic analysis in a typical ur...

Few studies have monitored neurotoxicity biomarkers in offshore marine areas. To partly fill this gap in information we sampled the gadiform fish Phycis blennoides and Micromesistius poutassou and the crustacean decapod Aristeus antennatus, all species of great commercial interest in the Mediterranean, offshore the coast of Blanes (41.0N 3.0E; NE Spain) in two different grounds located in a sub...
