The measurement of scalar fluxes employing the eddy covariance method is a widely used experimental approach, for which the flow distortion due to obstacles (e.g., sensor mounts and mast) is a well-known but not fully solved problem. In order to reduce flow distortion we installed a sonic anemometer in a surface-normal orientation relative to the terrain slope, and a second instrument in a vert...

Silicon on insulator (SOI) technology permits a good solution to the miniaturization as MOSFET size scales down. This paper is about compare electrical performance of nanoscale FD-SOI at various gate lengths. The compared and contrasted with help threshold voltage, subthreshold slope, on-state current leakage current. Interestingly, by decreasing length, are increased but voltage decreased sub-...

Muscle force during active lengthening was characterized for scaphognathite levator muscle L2B from the crab Carcinus maenas. The muscle was tetanically stimulated and, during the peak of the contraction, stretched at constant velocity. The total strain was approximately 4 %, the strain rates ranged from 0.03 to 1.6 muscle lengths s-1 (L s-1), and the temperature was 15 degreesC. Force increase...

We present simultaneous multifrequency radio observations for a complete subsample of 26 XBLs from the Einstein Extended Medium-Sensitivity Survey, obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA). Spectra are computed using fluxes at 20, 6 and 3.6 cm. Unlike many radio selected samples, the EMSS did not impose any criterion on the radio spectrum to identify BL Lac objects. It is therefore possible to ...

A study is presented to examine the one-horizontal dimension effect of a shallow shelf obstacle on nonlinear long wave runup. Due to the large horizontal-vertical aspect ratio of this problem, it is not well suited for experimental analysis, and therefore this study is purely numerical. Simulations are performed for various incident wave conditions, obstacle height and widths, and final beach s...

The relationship between worker body size and the shape of their body parts was explored in the polymorphic ant, Solenopsis invicta. The data consisted of 20 measurements of body parts as well as sums of some of these measurements. Size-free shape variables were created by taking the ratios of relevant measures. After log-transformation, these ratios were regressed against the logarithm of tota...

We present new, low-frequency images of the powerful FR I radio galaxy Hydra A (3C 218). Images were made with the Very Large Array (VLA) at frequencies of 1415, 330, and 74 MHz, with resolutions on the order of 20. The morphology of the source is seen to be more complex and even larger than previously known, and extends nearly 8 (530 kpc) in a North-South direction. The southern lobe is bent t...

A landslide located in northern Sichuan Province, China was investigated. series of numerical models the stabilized with piles and anchor cable frame beams were developed using a three-dimensional finite-element method. The Strength Reduction Method employed to investigate stability slopes, internal forces piles, axial cables. parametric study consisting pile position, length, spacing carried o...
