Abstract Loss of reflectivity in the Arctic and wider cryosphere is known to increase global temperature rise through an ice‐albedo feedback loop, which has potential lead loss summertime ice cover Ocean, accelerate warming. Despite urgency this situation, there are few options being developed preserve restore reflectivity. Localized surface albedo modification using reflective materials offers...

This study focuses on the Kakobola region and its surroundings where cavities discovered in basement may represent a major risk for hydroelectric dam erected Lufuku River near city civil engineering works area. In order to deepen studies related this understudied provide decision-makers with information that will enable them make necessary appropriate decisions regarding development of area, ba...

Pearl millet is used mainly as a temporary forage crop in the southern United States. A new pearl millet hybrid has potential as a major grain crop in the United States. The effects of nematodes, irrigation, a nematicide, and nitrogen rates on a new pearl millet grain hybrid, HGM-100, and nematode population changes were determined in a 2-year study. Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita r...

Human neo-organ formation from stem cells can only be assayed by in vivo xenotransplantation. The human nonobese diabetic-severe combined immunodeficient (HuNOD/scid) CD34+ cell transplantation is a model that allows examination of hematopoietic tissue formation, although human hematopoietic cell maturation is abortive. Conventional humanization of the cytokine microenvironment has depended on ...

Heaton, Grant, and Matthews (1991) published procedures for adjusting raw scores on various neuropsychological tests according to the individual's age and education. Despite rather widespread use of these score conversions in both clinical work and research publications, there have been very few investigations to evaluate the accuracy or limitations of these score transformations. This study wa...

wetland functions is the monitoring of newly restored wetland sites to determine how quickly wetland functions develop and whether function-based mitigation objectives are being met. This technical note presents a case study of the application of the Western Kentucky Low-Gradient Riverine Guidebook to monitoring the development of wetland functions on a number of bottomland hardwood forest site...

This article summarizes and extends the recently proposed concept of Significance-Aware (SA) filtering for nonlinear acoustic echo cancellation. The core idea of SA filtering is to decompose the estimation of the nonlinear echo path into beneficially interacting subsystems, each of which can be adapted with high computational efficiency. The previously proposed SA Hammerstein Group Models (SA-H...
