The Mori-Zwanzig formalism is an effective tool to derive differential equations describing the evolution of a small number of resolved variables. In this paper we present its application to the derivation of generalized Langevin equations and generalized non-Markovian Fokker-Planck equations. We show how long time scales rates and metastable basins can be extracted from these equations. Numeri...

Atropine (AT) and oximes, alone or in combination, have been proven greatly valuable therapeutics in the treatment of organophosphates intoxications. An injectable mixture of AT and obidoxime (OB) was formulated for administration by automatic self-injector. The aqueous single dose solution contained 275 mg obidoxime chloride and 2.5 mg atropine sulfate per 1 ml (220 mg and 2 mg per 0.8 effecti...

The New Jersey Water Resources Research Institute underwent a significant reorganization and revitalization this year, largely as a result of the five-year review conducted by the US Geological Survey. This review stimulated Rutgers University to make a major contribution to the support of the WRRI. The support is in the form of a half-time administrative assistant, funded by the NJ Agricultura...

SuomiNet, a university-based GPS network provides real-time atmospheric sensing capability via the Internet for research and education. SuomiNet is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation and university costshare, and is managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). We present examples of real time PW data products currently provided by SuomiNet, and describe rea...

PURPOSE We evaluated the effect of different water immersion (WI) temperatures on post-exercise cardiac parasympathetic reactivation. METHODS Eight young, physically active men participated in four experimental conditions composed of resting (REST), exercise session (resistance and endurance exercises), post-exercise recovery strategies, including 15 min of WI at 15°C (CWI), 28°C (TWI), 38°C ...

Downwelling thermal infrared emission from the tropical atmosphere is affected strongly by the typically large amounts of water vapor. In two experiments within the last 2 years we have used a Fourier transform spectroradiometer to measure tropical atmospheric emission, concentrating on the “window” region between about 800 and 1200 cm. Shortly after the first of these experiments, substantial ...

This article represents the second report by an ASCE Task Committee "Infrastructure Impacts of Landscape-driven Weather Change" under the ASCE Watershed Management Technical Committee and the ASCE Hydroclimate Technical Committee. Herein, the 'infrastructure impacts" are referred to as infrastructure-sensitive changes in weather and climate patterns (extremes and non-extremes) that are modulate...
