line survey has been made to study interstellar 32 S= 34 S and 34 S= 33 S ratios from the galactic disk. The four CS isotopomers were detected in 20 star forming regions with galactocentric distances between 3 and 9 kpc. From a comparison of line velocities, the C 33 S J=2{1 rest frequency is 250 kHz below the value given in the Lovas (1992) catalog. Taking 12 C= 13 C ratios from Wilson & Rood ...

Adaptive mesh refinement techniques offer a flexible framework for future variable-resolution climate and weather models since they can focus their computational mesh on certain geographical areas or atmospheric events. Adaptive meshes can also be used to coarsen a latitude-longitude grid in polar regions. This allows for the so-called reduced grid setups. A spherical, block-structured adaptive...

1 J. Entomol. Sci. 40(1): 80-87 (January 2005) Abstract As a group, arthropod natural enemies have been shown to substantially reduce within-tree pine bark beetle populations. However, little is known about the impacts of individual species on bark beetle mortality. In a controlled laboratory study, we measured the effects of two predaceous histerid species, Platysoma parallelum (Say) and Plega...

Electric vehicles are receiving more and more support from both companies and governments as one of the most popular choices for the future green car systems. However, the need for an infrastructure of electric charging stations across the rood network can threaten the driver’s privacy. In particular, information disclosed by electric payment mechanism can reveal the identity and diving pattern...

Transformed domain sparsity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has recently been used to reduce the acquisition time in conjunction with compressed sensing (CS) theory. Respiratory motion during MR scan results in strong blurring and ghosting artifacts in recovered MR images. To improve the quality of the recovered images, motion needs to be estimated and corrected. In this article, a two-step...

A high percentage of Thoroughbred mares and their foals on two large farms in central Kentucky were found to have low thyroid hormone levels (lower than established levels) at the time of parturition, even though management on the farms near the time of foaling varied. A number of factors were identified that could have contributed to the low levels of thyroid hormones in these mares and foals,...

Twelve horses with triple-level cervical spinal-cord compression that had undergone triple-level anterior interbody fusion were split into three treatment groups based on the implant used for the spinal-fusion surgery. The groups consisted of the heterologus bone graft (group 1), the stainlesssteel basket (SSB, also known as the Bagby Basket; group 2), and the Kerf Cleaning Cylinder (also known...

In this paper we study solutions of an inverse problem for a global shallow water model controlling its initial conditions speci ed from the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) datasets, in presence of full or incomplete observations being assimilated in a time interval(window of assimilation) with or without background error covariance terms. As an extension of the work in Chen et al., 2009, we a...
