We show that low-order g-modes with large enough amplitudes to affect significantly the solar neutrino fluxes would produce surface velocities that are 10 times larger than the observed upper limits and hence are ruled out by existing data. We also demonstrate that any large-amplitude, short-period oscillations that grow on a Kelvin-Helmholtz time scale will require, to affect solar neutrino fl...

In the summer following a strong El Niño, tropical cyclone (TC) number decreases over the Northwest (NW) Pacific despite little change in local sea surface temperature. The authors’ analysis suggests El Niño– induced tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) warming as the cause. The TIO warming forces a warm tropospheric Kelvin wave that propagates into the western Pacific. Inducing surface divergence off t...

The basic creep of concrete is the time-dependent strain caused by a sustained stress in absence of moisture movements. It is the strain observed on sealed specimens. Similar to other properties of concrete, it is dependent on the age of concrete. as a consequence of long-time chemical reactions associated with the hydration of cement. This paper formulates the solidification theory with a cont...

The JHU HLTCOE participated in the Cold Start and the Entity Discovery and Linking tasks of the 2016 Text Analysis Conference Knowledge Base Population evaluation. For our fifth year of participation in Cold Start we continued our research with the KELVIN system. We submitted experimental variants that explore use of linking to Freebase across three languages and add relations beyond those requ...

Single-crystal bismuth thin films 1 to 20 micrometers thick were fabricated by electrodeposition and suitable annealing. Magnetoresistance up to 250 percent at 300 kelvin and 380,000 percent at 5 kelvin as well as clean Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations were observed, indicative of the high quality of these films. A hybrid structure was also made that showed a large magnetoresistive effect of 30 p...

We use the newly developed Lord Kelvin’s method of images (Bobrowski in J Evol Equ 10(3):663–675, 2010; Semigroup Forum 81(3):435–445, 2010) to show existence of a unique cosine family generated by a restriction of the Laplace operator in C[0, 1] that preserves the first two moments. We characterize the domain of its generator by specifying its boundary conditions. Also, we show that it enjoys ...
