Alignment of latitude and longitude for all pixels is important for geo-stationary meteorological satellite (GSMS) images. To align landmarks and non-landmarks in the GSMS images, we propose a geometry-based global alignment method. Firstly, the Global Self-consistent, Hierarchical, High-resolution Geography (GSHHG) database and GSMS images are expressed as feature maps by geometric coding. Acc...

OSSE has measured the galactic longitude distribution of both the 511 keV annihilation line radiation and the three-photon positronium continuum within 40 of the center. They have similar shapes, with a composite longitude distribution well represented by an 11 FWHM Gaussian central bulge together with a possible broad disk component comprising as much as 15% of the integral ux between 40 and 3...

Abstract Aim To evaluate delays to Emergency Theatre (CEPOD) start times, “knife-to-skin” turnover between cases, and whether having a separate Registrar for CEPOD has improved theatre flow. Method This was closed-loop retrospective audit at Walsall Manor Hospital with data collected using the electronic system, in two 4-week blocks; from 13/06/2022 – 10/07/2022 then again 18/07/22 14/08/22. 4 ...

Abstract MTrack is an automated algorithm that determines the center location (latitude and longitude) of a tropical cyclone from scalar wind field derived satellite observations. Accurate storm centers are useful for operational forecasting cyclones their reanalysis (e.g., research on surge modeling). Currently, fixes have significantly larger errors weak, disorganized storms. The presented he...

On 9 th of March 1500, Portuguese expeditionary team of thirteen ships, after departing Lisbon, discovered Brazil soon on 22 nd of April 1500. Brazil was then called “Terra de Santa Cruz” and was announced a Portuguese colony. As the Portuguese colonists began plundering with the cutting Brazilwood, the word “Brazil” gradually replaced “Terra de Santa Cruz” and became the name of the nation up ...

Introduction This chapter explores some of the main issues related to the regulation of the cultural sector, with specific reference to heritage. As the range of activities in the cultural field raises so many different economic questions, not all of them can be dealt with in the space available. Therefore the analysis is restricted mainly to issues connected with built heritage. So far, the to...

Currently, most operational forecasting models use latitude–longitude grids, whose convergence of meridians toward the poles limits parallel scaling. Quasi-uniform grids might avoid this limitation. Thuburn et al. and Ringler et al. have developed a method for arbitrarily structured, orthogonal C grids called TRiSK, which has many of the desirable properties of the C grid on latitude–longitude ...
