The four-spacecraft, magnetic field measurements on Cluster can be combined to produce an accurate determination of the electric current in the magnetopause boundary during stable magnetopause crossings. For events that are planar on the scale of the spacecraft configuration, the thickness of the current layer can be accurately estimated from its magnetic profile at each spacecraft and the corr...

The aim of the paper is to introduce an approach for evaluating integrated remediation and landfill mining scenarios. Since completed projects with similar scope and goals mostly have been pilot studies or projects with little emphasis on resource extraction, there is very little real case data to access. Thus, scenarios for three different routes have been established: Remediation only; Remedi...

There is considerable debate about the effects of today’s family structures on support arrangements for older people. Using representative data from The Netherlands, the study reported in this paper investigates which sociodemographic characteristics of adult children and their elderly parents, and which motivations of the adult children, correlate with children giving practical and social supp...

Multi-epoch GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data of the radio-loud quasar J1101+7225 were analyzed to estimate the proper motion of extended optically thin jet components. Two components separated from the core could be mapped at 1.66 GHz, which is consistent with earlier observations. In one case we found evidence of high apparent super-luminal motion (β app = 22.5 ± 4) at large (...

Carpal tunnel syndrome, a median nerve entrapment neuropathy, is characterized by sensorimotor deficits. Recent reports have shown that this syndrome is also characterized by functional and structural neuroplasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex of the brain. However, the linkage between this neuroplasticity and the functional deficits in carpal tunnel syndrome is unknown. Sixty-three su...

A Multi Layered Display TM (MLD) uses depth to alter the salience of information. This study considered how the use of depth might influence cursor positioning. As pointing movements to targets may be influenced by flanking nontargets, a MLD was used in an attempt to reduce any distracting effects of non-targets. Participants were 14 skilled computer users who moved a computer cursor using a mo...

We propose a number of cues and a strategy for combining them that could be used by a binaural machine to perform source separation. Our previous work has used the single cue of interaural phase difference (IPD) to segment the time-frequency plane using an EM algorithm. We see this as a first step towards a larger and more complete system that takes advantage of more of the cues available to a ...

The separation between the two reactive thiols SH1 (Cys-704) and SH2 (Cys-694) and that between SH1 and the active site of myosin subfragment-1 were further investigated by Förster energy transfer techniques. The SH1-SH2 distance was determined with the probe 5-[[2-[(iodoacetyl)amino]ethyl] amino]naphthalene-1-sulfonic acid (AEDANS) attached to SH1 as the energy donor and 5-(iodoacetamido)fluor...

In general, to understand hadronic uncertainties we need a separation of short p ∼ Q and long p ∼ ΛQCD distance fluctuations. For processes in QCD with momentum transfers Q ≫ ΛQCD, the short distance part is calculable in terms of Wilson coefficients or hard scattering functions. The long distance contributions can be arranged into universal non-perturbative matrix elements which can be extract...
