Software reliability growth models using Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process(NHPP) with a mean value function –dependent on Linearly falling fault detection rate as proposed in the literature is considered. The well known Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) procedure of statistical science is adopted for the model in order to decide upon the reliability/ unreliability of developed software. Th...

The thermal field of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is analyzed from a comprehensive temperature-depth database of about 8500 Bottom Hole Temperatures and Reservoir Temperatures. Our stochastic analysis reveals a widespread, systematic sharp thermal gradient increase between 2500 and 4000 m. The analysis of the pressure regime indicates a systematic correlation between the pressure and temperature fi...

The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is an economically important region (e.g. oil and gas, fisheries) with the expansion drilling, harmful algal bloom events, blowouts, dead zones, anthropogenic eutrophication contaminant loading, it that ecological quality statuses (EcoQS) different localities in are closely monitored. EcoQS, as implemented by European Water Framework Directive, effective tool for monito...

Artificial recharge can be an effective method to raise the groundwater table and to resolve the groundwater crisis in Sefid dasht plain. The most important step to successful accomplishment of artificial recharge is locating suitable areas for artificial recharge. Hence this research carried out with purpose of determining suitable areas for artificial recharge in Sefid dasht plain. Slope, sur...

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited vascular disorder, non-amyloid and non-atherosclerotic, affecting predominantly the central nervous system. We examined samples of skin biopsies from six patients (men, 43-52-year-old), admitted for treatment in the Neurology Clinic regarding the presence of partial motor impairm...

Once elemental mercury (Hg) enters the atmosphere, it may be globally distributed because of the fact that this form is relatively inert and recycled between terrestrial and aquatic surfaces. Terrestrial ecosystems may be sources, as well as shortand long-term sinks, for atmospheric Hg. Understanding whether an ecosystem is a source or sink and the magnitude of associated flux is critical for d...

In the Gulf of Maine (GoM), a network of buoy hydrography measurements collected since 2001 provide a subsurface salinity time series showing a strong seasonal cycle and interannual variations that are both consistent with remote forcing of Gulf hydrography by upstream advection. These long-term mooring data are combined with satellite altimeter estimates of upper ocean current anomaly on the a...
