-The spectra of either temperature, salinity or vertical velocity which might be measured by a sensor moving through a field of salt fingers are considered. A theoretical calculation is presented which attempts to incorporate the deviations from squareness and perfect orientation of the salt fingers. The resulting spectra rise to a peak close to ~o = (x/2)kv and decrease rapidly for larger to, ...

(1) Analyze and model sea surface scattering measurements, and sea surface environmental measurements, made during the Asian Seas International Acoustics Experiment (ASIAEX) conducted in the East China Sea (May-June 2001). The acoustic data consist of measurements of vertical coherence for single and multiple-interaction forward scattering from the sea surface, made simultaneous with measuremen...

Consider the discrete 1D Schrödinger operator on Z with an odd 2k periodic potential q. For small potentials we show that the mapping: q → heights of vertical slits on the quasi-momentum domain (similar to the Marchenko-Ostrovski maping for the Hill operator) is a local isomorphism and the isospectral set consists of 2 distinct potentials. Finally, the asymptotics of the spectrum are determined...

The main goal of this assessment is to classify the radwaste stream of the recyclable transmission lines (RTL) at the end of the Z-Pinch plant operation. With the emergence of the new clearance standards, we included both the national and international standards in our analysis and assessed the implications for the RTL waste stream. The 3-D spectral flux was coupled to the ALARA pulsed activati...

We present results from new calculations of the X-ray reflection spectrum from ionized accretion discs. These computations improve on our previous models by including the condition of hydrostatic balance in the vertical direction, following the work of Nayakshin, Kazanas & Kallman. We find that an ionized Fe Kα line is prominent in the reflection spectra for a wide variety of physical condition...

We study the periodic solutions of equations with asymmetric nonlinearities ``at resonance'' with the Fuc @ k spectrum. We compute the associated topological degree and prove existence, multiplicity, and stability of large-amplitude oscillations for equations with a small friction term. Such equations can be viewed, e.g., as simple models for investigating vertical oscillations of long-span sus...

Observation of the vertical profile of precipitation over the global tropics is a key objective of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) because this information is central to obtaining vertical profiles of latent heating. The present study combines both TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) and Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) data to examine “wet-season” vertical structures of tropical precipi...

BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are associated with auditory hyper- or hyposensitivity; atypicalities in central auditory processes, such as speech-processing and selective auditory attention; and neural connectivity deficits. We sought to investigate whether the low-level integrative processes underlying sound localization and spatial discrimination are affected in ASDs. METHODS ...

Monitoring the vertical profile of leaf chlorophyll (Chl) content within winter wheat canopies is of significant importance for revealing the real nutritional status of the crop. Information on the vertical profile of Chl content is not accessible to nadir-viewing remote or proximal sensing. Off-nadir or multi-angle sensing would provide effective means to detect leaf Chl content in different v...
