Microwave observations at low frequencies exhibit more sensitivity to surface and subsurface properties with little interference from the atmosphere. The objective of this study is to develop a global land emissivity product using passive microwave observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer – Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) and to investigate its sensitivity to land surface pr...

By comparing the neutrino spectra measured by SNO and Super Kamiokande, we obtain inequalities between the ratios of observed rate to SSM rate for the two experiments. These inequalities apply to a possibly energy-dependent reduction of the SSM flux and to the case of neutrino oscillations. We use them to examine the relationship between the two experiments expected for the MSW and “Just-So” os...

IP version 4 (IPv4) addresses in the 232/8 (232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255) range are designated as source-specific multicast (SSM) destination addresses and are reserved for use by sourcespecific applications and protocols. For IP version 6 (IPv6), the address prefix FF3x::/32 is reserved for source-specific multicast use. This document defines an extension to the Internet network service that a...

There is no effective method to support IP level Internet wide multisource multicast sessions, that can be easily used from almost every ISP There are several protocols implementing the necessary functionality, but the penetration of them is really low recently. The most obvious work all-round is using SSM – Source Specific Multicasting, in which, the IP multicast session is identified by the m...

Previous research showing systematic localisation errors in touch perception related to eye and head position has suggested that touch is at least partially localised in a visual reference frame. However, many previous studies had participants report the location of tactile stimuli relative to a visual probe, which may force coding into a visual reference. Also, the visual probe could itself be...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the safety and therapeutic effectiveness of dual-switching monopolar (DSM) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and to retrospectively compare the results with those of single-switching monopolar (SSM) RFA in a historical control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the Institutional Review Bo...
