[1] Eddy diffusivities in the Labrador Sea (LS) are estimated from deep eddy resolving float trajectories, moored current meter records, and satellite altimetry. A mean residence time of 248 days in the central LS is observed with several floats staying for more than 2 years. By applying a simple random walk diffusion model, the observed distribution of float residence times in the central LS c...

Musical meters vary considerably across cultures, yet relatively little is known about how culture-specific experience influences metrical processing. In Experiment 1, we compared American and Indian listeners' synchronous tapping to slow sequences. Inter-tone intervals contained silence or to-be-ignored rhythms that were designed to induce a simple meter (familiar to Americans and Indians) or ...

In the present work, the design and microfabrication of a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) electrical current sensor is presented. After its physical and electrical characterization, a wattmeter is developed to determine the active power delivered to a load from the AC 50/60 Hz mains line. Experimental results are shown up to 1000 W of power load. A relative uncertainty of less than 1.5% with ...

Automatic meter analysis aims to annotate a recording of a metered piece of music with its metrical structure. This analysis subsumes correct estimation of the type of meter, the tempo, and the alignment of the metrical structure with the music signal. Recently, Bayesian models have been successfully applied to several of meter analysis tasks, but depending on themusical context, meter analysis...

The current definition of the meter as based on time light transmission and postulated universal constant speed is ill-defined inadequate. fails to identify which second required, whether use coordinate or proper time, method construct an exact meter, besides ignoring gravity’s effect. In Einstein’s 1905 paper that defined special relativity, Einstein stipulated correctly traversing ends a rest...

The expression of many nuclear genes in plants is light regulated. We have examined the fluence-response, time-course, and reciprocity characteristics of four nuclear, blue-light-regulated transcripts in Pisum sativum L. var Alaska: Cab RNA, pEA207 RNA, pEA215 RNA, and pEA25 RNA. To avoid complications due to blue-light-induced transformation of phytochrome, we have adapted the procedure of mea...

Wireless energy meter is a system developed to serve as a basic single-phase energy meter with advanced functionalities such as Peak hour setting, Peak load setting Wireless reading transmission; further the system eliminates the role of a Meter Reader.

BACKGROUND The Precision Xtra(®) meter is a promising low cost electrochemical point-of-care unit for measuring blood glucose concentration ([gluc]) in cattle blood. The meter uses an algorithm that assumes the intra-erythrocyte [gluc] equals the plasma [gluc] on a molal basis, and that the hematocrit is similar in humans and cattle. OBJECTIVES The primary objective was to determine the accur...
