In this article, a new approach to tidal harmonic analysis is introduced. This approach incorporates more constituents in the least squares method for a fixed duration of noise-free tidal record and results in a more accurate tidal prediction. Moreover, it is demonstrated that 135 days of hourly data, which is significantly less than 369 days data in the Rayleigh criterion, is sufficient for th...

Aims. We consider how tight binaries consisting of a super-massive black hole of mass M = 10 − 104M⊙ and a white dwarf in quasi-circular orbit can be formed in a globular cluster. We point out that a major fraction of white dwarfs tidally captured by the black hole may be destroyed by tidal inflation during ongoing tidal circularisation, and therefore the formation of tight binaries is inhibite...

Interpretations of space-based measurements of atmospheric parameters in the mesosphere and thermosphere are complicated by large local-time variations at these altitudes. For this reason, satellite orbits are often preferred which precess through all local times one or more times per season. However, the local-time structure of the atmosphere is inherently non-stationary, which can lead to sam...

Tubular structures involved in the cell-to-cell movement of cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) were partially purified from infected cowpea protoplasts to identify the structural components. A relatively pure fraction could be obtained by differential centrifugation and this was analysed by PAGE and immunoblotting. Besides the movement protein (MP) and capsid proteins (CP) of CPMV, no other major infec...

Three cruises with shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) were performed along a transect across the Peng-hu Channel (PHC) in the Taiwan Strait during 2003 2004 in order to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of the phase-averaging method to eliminate tidal components from shipboard ADCP measurement of currents. In each cruise measurement was repeated a number of times along th...

To accurately reconstruct large-area three-dimensional current fields in coastal regions, simultaneous observations with ten acoustic tomography (CAT) stations and two high-frequency radar (HFR) were performed the Xiangshan Bay (XSB) on 4–5 December 2020. The section-averaged velocity that was observed by CAT radial HFR were, for first time, synchronously assimilated into a barotropic ocean mod...

BACKGROUND Renal impairment (RI) has been shown to be one major risk factor in a number of diseases and is associated with a dismal clinical outcome. However, the influence of milder degrees of renal disease is less well defined, particularly not in patients with malignant diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed 167 patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Besides disease...

Abstract. Tidal activity in the Mesospheric Lower Thermosphere (MLT) region over Trivandrum (8.5 N, 77 E) is investigated using the observations from newly installed SKiYMET Meteor Radar. The seasonal variability and vertical propagation characteristics of atmospheric tides in the MLT region are addressed in the present communication. The observations revealed that the diurnal tide is more prom...
