Statistical characteristics of cloud variability are examined for their dependence on averaging scales and best representation of probability density function with the decade-long retrieval products of cloud liquid water path (LWP) from the tropical western Pacific (TWP), Southern Great Plains (SGP), and North Slope of Alaska (NSA) sites of the Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measu...

Long time series of Arctic atmospheric measurements are assembled into meteorological categories that can serve as test cases for climate model evaluation. The meteorological categories are established by applying an objective k-means clustering algorithm to 11 years of standard surface-meteorological observations collected from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2010 at the North Slope of Alaska (N...

An unfortunate aspect of historical accounts of computer lore in open sources is the omission conspicuously to some of us of mention of the U.S. cryptologic organizations, or ofthe contributions by these organizations which helped in laying the foundation of the computer industry. NSA, and other cryptologic organizations, have been required over the years to observe a policy of anonymity, and w...

The accessibility and usage of social networking sites constructs both prospects and menaces for the users. In this research article, we propose a new recommendation system for predicting and recommending the criminal behavioral users on social network based upon the activities of the users. Our recommender system uses the proposed nine factor analysis method, clustering technique called Geneti...

The circular economy and regenerative design approaches, although still emerging in the built environment, are important pathways to move away from degenerative business-as-usual practices sector. In this paper, we investigate perception, awareness, of environment professionals regarding adoption a combined circularity approach for buildings cities, if current ‘neighbourhood sustainability asse...

Abstract We document the evolution of north–south asymmetry (NSA) Titan’s haze albedo during Cassini mission between 2004 and 2017. analyze coadded cube images taken at 96 distinct wavelengths 0.35 1.05 μ m by Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS-V) instrument from 14 Titan flybys. Over half a year, we observe near-complete transition in NSA boundary latitude across geographic equator sou...

[1] In this paper, a simple technique is described for application of radar to retrievals of vertical profiles of precipitation in the Arctic. The method is applied specifically to data from the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) North Slope of Alaska– Adjacent Arctic Ocean (NSA-AAO) site near Barrow, Alaska. Profiles of precipitation characteristic size are obtained by developing a re...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine, in patients with heart failure (HF), whether untreated moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a higher mortality rate than in patients with mild to no sleep apnea (M-NSA). BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea is common in patients with HF and exposes the heart and circulation to adverse mechanical and autonomic effects. How...
