Abstract Interactions between volcanoes and glaciers provide insight to the evolution of a volcanic edifice may be an indicator for renewed activity. At Mount St. Helens, Crater Glacier, which has formed in crater after eruption 1980, is one world’s last expanding provides unique opportunity characterize glacier onto area significant thermal flux. We combine photographic documentation glaciovol...

purpose : the objective of this study was to investigate the causes, the clinical presentation, and treatment modalities in patients with valsalva premacular hemorrhage. methods : this case series study included 21 eyes of 21 patients referred to retina clinic of farabi eye hospital and two private eye clinics during 2001-2006 with sudden loss of vision and clinical diagnosis of premacular hemo...

Reducing duplicated data of database backups is an important application scenario for data deduplication technology. NewSQL is an emerging database system and is now being used more and more widely. NewSQL systems need to improve data reliability by periodically backing up in-memory data, resulting in a lot of duplicated data. The traditional deduplication method is not optimized for the NewSQL...

The Antarctic plateau is a new frontier for astronomy, offering superior observing conditions to those of any other groundbased site across most of the electromagnetic spectrum. The established inland Antarctic stations of Amundsen-Scott and Vostok are now being joined by new stations at Dome A, Dome C and Dome F. Plans to deploy large telescopes are already well advanced, and within a decade s...

Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy. The highest point of the plateau is Dome A, some 800 m higher than Dome C. It should experience colder atmospheric tempe...

Using an ocean–atmosphere coupled general circulation model, air–sea interaction processes associated with the Atlantic meridional mode are investigated from a new viewpoint of its link with the Guinea Dome in the northern tropical Atlantic. The subsurface thermal oceanic dome develops off Dakar from late spring to late fall owing to wind-induced Ekman upwelling. Its seasonal evolution is due t...

In recent decades, one of the challenges in sheet metal forming was production of two-step bending surfaces without mechanical tools and external force or by a combination of heat source and mechanical tools. Forming with a heat source such as laser beam has the potential for forming arbitrary 3D shapes such as two-step bending surfaces. In this paper a novel method for laser forming of complic...

BACKGROUND The technique of vertical dome division or tip defining, involves incising the lateral crura and vestibular skin at or lateral to the dome or tip defining point. The incision divides the lower lateral cartilage into a lateral segment and a medial segment, which are advanced anteriorly and sutured together to increase tip projection. The present study aimed at assessing a new vertical...
