Abstract. Previous studies have successfully applied variance decomposition frameworks based on the Budyko equations to determine relative contribution of variability in precipitation, potential evapotranspiration (E0), and total water storage changes (ΔS) (σET2) different timescales; however, effects snowmelt (Qm) vegetation (M) not been incorporated into this framework snow-dependent basins. ...

Sideband holography can be used to get field images (E0 and E1) of a vibrating object for both the carrier (E0) and the sideband (E1) frequency with respect to vibration. Here we propose to record E0 and E1 sequentially and to image the product E1E0* or the correlation 〈E1E0*〉. We show that these quantities are insensitive to the phase related to the object roughness and directly reflect the ph...

A refinable linear functional is one that can be expressed as a convex combination and defined by a finite number of mask coefficients of certain stretched and shifted replicas of itself. The notion generalizes an integral weighted by a refinable function. The key to calculating a Gaussian quadrature formula for such a functional is to find the three-term recursion coefficients for the polynomi...

An NADP-dependent methylene tetrahydromethanopterin (H4MPT) dehydrogenase has recently been proposed to be involved in formaldehyde oxidation to CO2 in Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. We report here on the purification of this novel enzyme to apparent homogeneity. Via the N-terminal amino acid sequence, it was identified to be the mtdA gene product. The purified enzyme catalyzed the dehydrogen...

We describe new planetesimal accretion calculations in the Kuiper Belt that include fragmentation and velocity evolution. All models produce two power law cumulative size distributions, NC ∝ r for radii ∼< 0.3–3 km and NC ∝ r for radii ∼> 1–3 km. The power law indices are nearly independent of the initial mass in the annulus, M0; the initial eccentricity of the planetesimal swarm, e0; and the i...

Differential precession due to the planet's quadrupole moment tends to destroy the alignment of particles in inclined rings. We propose that alignment is maintained by the self-gravity of the ring. This hypothesis predicts that 8i/8a>0 across the ring. If 8i/i0 <(1, 8e/e0 <(1, a8i/8a<(1, and a8e/8a< 1, a further prediction is that 8i/i0 = 8e/e0 • The a and /3 rings of Uranus may be used to test...

Let κ be an inaccessible cardinal, and let E0 = {x ∈ Pκκ + : cf λx = cf κx} and E1 = {x ∈ Pκκ : κx is regular and λx = κ + x }. It is consistent that the set E1 is stationary and that every stationary subset of E0 reflects at almost every a ∈ E1. Supported by NSF grants DMS-9401275 and DMS 97-04477.

With every E0–semigroup (acting on the algebra of of bounded operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space) there is an associated Arveson system. One of the most important results about Arveson systems is that every Arveson system is the one associated with an E0–semigroup. In these notes we give a new proof of this result that is considerably simpler than the existing ones and a...

Previously, using inelastic scattering of 240-MeV alpha particles at small angles with a deformed potential analysis, we reported @1# 32% of the E0 EWSR in two Gaussian peaks in Ni and argued that no more than 50% of the E0 strength was located between Ex512 and 25 MeV. Satchler and Khoa @2# carried out a folding analysis of our data and on that basis concluded the two peaks contained ;50% of t...
