this study investigates the contributions of atlantic ocean to june-august rainfall over uganda and western kenya (ku). the study has utilized the datasets including precipitation from the global precipitation climatology centre, north atlantic oscillation index (naoi), south atlantic ocean dipole index (saodi), era-interim reanalysis, and the atlantic ocean sea surface temperature (sst). singu...

Characterizing the dynamic properties of the solar turbulence with 3-D simulations: Consequences in terms of p-mode excitation. Abstract. A 3D simulation of the upper part of the solar convective zone is used to derive constraints about the averaged and dynamic properties of solar turbulent convection. Theses constraints are then used to compute the acoustic energy supply rate P injected into t...

This study, in a broad sense, fills in the missing parts in previous efforts at pullback stripping mode design with a dipping coal seam. Three different spoiling procedures have been developed: the normal mode, where the coal seam is flat/nearly flat; the uphill mode, where the coal seam is dipping and the dragline spoils uphill; and the downhill mode, where the coal seam is again dipping but t...

This paper proposes a method to generate realistic character images from on-line patterns. From the pen trajectory of an on-line pattern, the proposed method generates images of various stroke shapes using four painting modes: constant line mode, proportional mode and two calligraphic modes. Particularly, the calligraphic modes combine the pen trajectory with real stroke-shape images so that th...

Vibrational dynamics of folded proteins is studied using a Gaussian model in which the protein is viewed as a network, residues representing the junctions, and the connectivity being established by a single parameter harmonic potential. Application to seven proteins showed that the local packing density plays a major role in determining the vibrational spectrum at time scales of picoseconds. At...

A system of weakly magnetically coupled oscillating blades is studied experimentally, computationally, and theoretically. It is found that when the uncoupled natural frequencies of the blades are nearly equal, the normal modes produced by the coupling are almost impossible to find experimentally if the random variation level in the system parameters is on the order of ͑or larger than͒ the relativ...
