Abstract More than half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, and trends rural-to-urban migration are expected to continue through end century. Although cities create efficiencies that drive innovation economic growth, they also alter local surface energy balance, resulting temperatures can differ dramatically from surrounding areas. Here we introduce a global 1 km resolution data...

ABSTRACT Alfven wave is the single most important physical phenomenon of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence and has far-reaching impact to almost all studies related astrophysical magnetic field. Yet restoration fluctuations from a given field, aka local problem, never properly addressed in literature albeit its importance. Previous works model fluctuation as perturbation along straight-line...

The Greenland ice sheet holds enough water to raise the global sea level with *7 m. Over the last few decades, observations manifest a substantial increase of the mass loss of this ice sheet. Both enhanced melting and increase of the dynamical discharge, associated with calving at the outlet-glacier fronts, are contributing to the mass imbalance. Using a dynamical and thermodynamical ice-sheet ...

Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is a technology that creates three dimensional (3D) images of breast tissue. Tomosynthesis mammography detects lesions that are not detectable with other imaging systems. If image reconstruction time is in the order of seconds, we can use Tomosynthesis systems to perform Tomosynthesis-guided Interventional procedures. This research has been designed to study u...

As global populations and economies change, the dynamics of global trade and policy change as well. In analyzing the past trends and projections for global populations, economic developments, animal product production and consumption, global trade policy, and current issues being faced, one can begin to make some predictions or projections as to how the global red meat and poultry infrastructur...
