We study the interaction of upstream ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves with collisionless shocks by analyzing outputs eleven 2D local hybrid simulation runs. Our simulated have Alfv\'enic Mach numbers between 4.29-7.42 and their $\theta_{BN}$ angles are 15$^\circ$, 30$^\circ$, 45$^\circ$ 50$^\circ$. The ULF wave foreshocks develop all them. wavelength amplitude exhibit a complex dependence on sho...

The mitigation of intercell interference is a central issue for future-generation wireless cellular networks where frequencies are reused aggressively and where hierarchical cellular structures heavily overlap. The paper examines the benefit of coordinating transmission strategies and resource allocation schemes across multiple access-points for interference mitigation. Two different wireless c...

MERS coronavirus cases notified in the Middle East region since the identification of the virus in 2012 have displayed variations in time and across geography. Through a combined modelling approach, we estimate the rates of generation of cases along the zoonotic and human-to-human transmission routes and assess their spatiotemporal heterogeneity. We consider all cases notified to WHO from March...

Wind and solar generators differ from conventional generators in their generation characteristics. The variable output and imperfect predictability of these generators face a stochastic approach to plan and operate the power system without fundamentally changing the operation and planning problems. This paper overviews stochastic modeling challenges in operations, generation planning, and trans...

OBJECTIVES Studies of intergenerational relationship quality often include one or two generations. This study examined within-family differences and similarities or transmission of positive and negative relationship quality across three generations. METHOD Participants included 633 middle-aged individuals (G2; 52% women, ages 40-60 years), 592 of their offspring (G3; 53% daughters; ages 18-41...
