The long-term goal of this project is to understand the role of the atmosphere-ocean interaction processes in the initiation, maintenance and propagation of Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO). Better grasp of the atmosphere/ocean feedbacks in the Tropics will allow formulating more accurate parameterizations of the air-sea interface in the forecasting models. It will contribute to improved predict...

Abstract Study was related to the influence of concrete properties by using different percentages metakaolin and fixed percent incineration bottom ash partially replace cement. Cement is a well-known building material used for construction in world. Moreover, (MK) (IBA) this research would give significance our environment as it can reduce usage cement concrete. By ash, could land filling space...

Midkine (MK) is a retinoic acid-inducible heparin-binding cytokine. In the inflammatory synovitis of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, MK was detected in synovial fluid, synoviocytes, and endothelial cells of new blood vessels. Normal synovial fluid and noninflammatory synovial tissue did not contain detectable MK. Therefore, MK showed inflammation-associated expression in these cases. F...

We study Weyl-Heisenberg (=Gabor) expansions for either L2(IR ) or a subspace of it. These are expansions in terms of the spanning set X = (EM φ : k ∈ K, l ∈ L,φ ∈ Φ), where K and L are some discrete lattices in IR, Φ ⊂ L2(IR ) is finite, E is the translation operator, and M is the modulation operator. Such sets X are known as WH systems. The analysis of the “basis” properties of WH systems (e....

We study Weyl-Heisenberg (=Gabor) expansions for either L 2 (IR d) or a subspace of it. These are expansions in terms of the spanning set where K and L are some discrete lattices in IR d , L 2 (IR d) is nite, E is the translation operator, and M is the modulation operator. Such sets X are known as WH systems. The analysis of the \basis" properties of WH systems (e.g. being a frame or a Riesz ba...

We investigate here both the dominant modes of variability and the large-scale regimes associated to tropical convection that can be recovered from infrared brightness temperature data using data mining and machine learning approaches. A hierarchy of spatiotemporal patterns at different timescales is extracted using a nonlinear dimension reduction method, namely Nonlinear Laplacian Spectral Ana...

The “Vertical structure and physical processes of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO)” project comprises three experiments, designed to evaluate comprehensively the heating, moistening, and momentum associated with tropical convection in general circulation models (GCMs). We consider here only those GCMs that performed all experiments. Some models display relatively higher or lower MJO fidelity...

Absorption of arsenic (As) by plant root is an essential activity that bridges the soil As concentration and physiological responses which can be monitored soon after exposure to As. In the present study, physiological responses to short exposure to arsenite (AsIII) was compared in two indigenous rice cultivars one adapted to temperate and humid (TH) and the second one to warm and humid (WH) cl...

Four groups of second language (L2) learners of English from different language backgrounds (Chinese, Japanese, German & Greek) and a group of native speaker controls participated in an on-line reading-time experiment with sentences involving long-distance wh-dependencies. While the native speakers showed evidence of making use of intermediate syntactic gaps during processing, the L2 learners a...
