Atmospheric turbulence generated in flow over mountainous terrain is studied using airborne in situ and cloud radar measurements over the Medicine Bow Mountains in southeast Wyoming, USA. During the NASA Orographic Clouds Experiment (NASA06) in 2006, two complex mountain flow cases were documented by the University of Wyoming King Air research aircraft carrying the Wyoming Cloud Radar. The stru...

BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction is a key process in atherosclerosis. Hypomethylation is one of the postulated mechanisms involved in atherogenesis and is mainly secondary to a decrease in essential factors such as, folate and vitamin B12 for the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the main methyl-group donor for methylation reactions. AIM To investigate in an animal model, whether ...

BACKGROUND The methodology used in the first Belgian food consumption survey followed to a large extent the instructions of the European Food Consumption (EFCOSUM) reports, where repeated 24-hour recalls (24HR) using EPIC-SOFT were recommended. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the relative validity of two non-consecutive 24HR using EPIC-SOFT by comparison with 5-day estimated dietary records (EDR). To ...

Land surface albedo (LSA), one of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) environmental data records (EDRs), is a fundamental component for linking the land surface and the climate system by regulating shortwave energy exchange between the land and the atmosphere. Currently, the improved bright pixel sub-algorithm (BPSA) is a unique algorithm employed by VIIRS to routinely generat...

BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with autonomic atypicalities, although the nature of these differences remains largely unknown. Moreover, existing literature suggests large variability in autonomic function in ASD, motivating the need to examine the existence of subgroups that exhibit more homogeneous autonomic features. METHODS Electrodermal activity (EDA), a no...

This article presents 18 magnetic reconnection electron diffusion region (EDR) candidates found using a neural network algorithm with the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission phase 1a data at Earth's dayside magnetopause. These new are compared to 32 previously reported EDRs listed in Webster et al. (2018), https://doi.org/10.1029/2018ja025245, which constitute training database of our algorithm. ...

The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a 37.5 deg, medium-deep, B-band imaging survey along the celestial equator, taken with the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. The survey region is contained within the regions of both the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release (SDSS-EDR). The survey has a uniform isophotal detect...

This paper presents an efficient approach to automatically align concepts between two ontologies. We propose an iterative algorithm that performs finding the most appropriate target concept for a given source concept based on the similarity of shared terms. Experimental results on two lexical ontologies, the MMT semantic hierarchy and the EDR concept dictionary, are given to show the feasibilit...

We investigate waves close to the lower-hybrid frequency in 12 magnetotail reconnection electron diffusion region (EDR) events with guide field levels of near-zero 30%. In about half events, wave vector has a small component along current sheet normal, consistent known drift properties, but perpendicular magnetic fluctuations can be comparable or greater than parallel component, feature unique ...

The characteristics of low-level turbulence at Boseong, located on the southern coast South Korea, were investigated in terms eddy dissipation rate (EDR) using 1-year (2018) wind data obtained from Boseong Meteorological Observatory (BMO), a World Organization testbed. At BMO, 307 m tall tower is installed which four high-frequency (20 Hz) sonic anemometers are mounted 60, 140, and 300 above gr...
