Abstract Annual maximum lake surface temperature influences ecosystem structure and function and, in particular, the rates of metabolic activities, species survival biogeography. Here, we evaluated 50 years observational data, from 1966 to 2015, for ten European lakes quantify changes annual duration above a potentially critical 20 °C. Our results show that has increased at an average rate +0.5...

For implementation&#10 of the free surface boundary condition, a new subroutine has been introduced to an existing steady 3-D body fitted code. This code was previously written for steady flow simulation in closed ducts. The algorithm used in this subroutine reduces the instability problem according to the free surface wave generation. For code validation, it was applied to two different open c...

We attempted to determine the usefulness of body surface mapping (BSM) for differentiating patients with Brugada syndrome (BS) from patients with asymptomatic Brugada syndrome (ABS). Electrocardiograms (ECG) and BSM were recorded in 7 patients with BS and 35 patients with ABS. Following the administration of Ic antiarrhythmic drugs, BSM was recorded in 5 patients with BS and 16 patients with AB...

We aimed to define a standardised protocol for the electromyographic evaluation of trapezius muscle in dentistry and to assess its within- and between-session repeatability. Surface electromyography of trapezius, masseter and temporal muscles was performed in 40 healthy subjects aged 20-35 years during shoulder elevation, and maximum teeth clenching with and without cotton rolls. Two repetition...

The atmospheric and surface conditions during a late autumnal strong katabatic wind event were quantified using ship rawinsonde measurements over the Terra Nova Bay coastal polynya. Wind speeds decreased from 35 to 18 ms−1, while direction 18° distance Nansen Ice Shelf edge out 99 km eastward toward Ross Sea. Maximum velocity winds (jet cores) at 173, 238, 179 144 m elevation associated with bo...

The morphology of the western Alps has been strongly influenced by Quaternary glaciations. On the basis of observations of glacial morphology in the Belledonne, Grandes-Rousses, Taillefer and Pelvoux-Ecrins Massifs (south-eastern France), we reconstitute the glacial trimline and equilibrium line altitude (ELA) during the most extensive glaciation (MEG). Our best estimate of the MEG ELA is 1800±...

Automatic landslide classification based on digital elevation models has become a powerful complementary tool to field mapping. Many studies focus the automatic of landslides’ geomorphological features, such as their steep main scarps, but in many cases, scarps and other morphological features are difficult for algorithms detect. In this study, we performed an different litho-geomorphological u...

This paper describes the estimation of ocean wave spectra with the maximum entropy method. This method is based on an autogressive model for the time series of sea surface elevation, and gives an all-pole estimate. The wave series are also prefiltered to introduce one zero in the spectral estimate. The methods are successfully applied to estimate the spectra of some typical wave series, requiri...
