We discuss the possibilities of use of the new generation of desktops for solution of one of the most important problems of weather forecasting: realtime prediction of thunderstorms, hails and rain storms. The phenomena are associated with development of intensive convection and are considered as the most dangerous weather conditions. The most perspective way of the phenomena forecast is comput...

Abstract The research starts with the treatment of multiscale transmission problem and establishes electromagnetic solidification coupling mathematical model based on indirect method. It uses three-dimensional magnetic field finite element theory to establish a crucible structure continuous casting built model. This is used optimize parameters composite simulate braking phenomena. results show ...

The purpose of this work is to determine appropriate radiation therapy beam margins to account for intrafraction prostate translations for use with real-time electromagnetic position monitoring and correction strategies. Motion was measured continuously in 35 patients over 1157 fractions at 5 institutions. This data was studied using van Herk's formula of (αΣ + γσ') for situations ranging from ...

We consider the late-time evolution of gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations in realistic rotating Kerr spacetimes. We give a detailed analysis of the mode-coupling phenomena in rotating gravitational collapse. A consequence of this phenomena is that the late-time tail is dominated by modes which, in general, may have an angular distribution different from the original one. In additio...

We investigate the simultaneous formation and propagation of coupled ultraslow optical soliton pairs in a cold, lifetime-broadened three-state double-Lambda atomic system. Starting from the equations of motion of atomic response and two-mode probe-control electromagnetic fields, we derive coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations that govern the nonlinear evolution of the envelopes of the probe f...

The notion of representing discrete-time electromagnetic pulse (EMP) signals using or-thonormal Laguerre sequences is introduced. The motivation for doing so is that EMP signals and Laguerre sequences are both characterized by decaying exponentials. It is shown that very eecient Laguerre representation of EMP signals is possible using this approach. Given a sequence x(n), its Laguerre expansion...

There is a demand in the dairy industry for instruments which can provide real-time information about the moisture content of cheese during manufacture. This paper describes progress in the development of microwave-based equipment for such an application. Results from a permittivity survey are described, and a six-port network is evaluated for use as a reflectometer. Possible sensors are discus...

This paper addresses the issue of existence and confinement of electromagnetic modes guided by linear defects in photonic crystals. Sufficient conditions are provided for the existence of such waves near a given spectral location. Confinement to the guide is achieved due to a photonic band gap in the bulk dielectric medium.

This text comments on Cytowic's recent review on the current knowledge on synesthesia. Recent neurophysiological findings are discussed that suggest crossmodal interference in the mammalian brain. Based on these results, it is proposed that synesthesia may not be restricted to the phenomenologically characterized abnormality described in Cytowic's review, but rather that it may encompass a seri...
