It is most natural to assume that mysterious Small Ionized and Neutral Structures (SINS) in diffuse ISM arise from turbulence. There are two obvious problem with such an explanation, however. First of all, it is generally believed that at the small scales turbulence should be damped. Second, turbulence with Kolmogorov spectrum cannot be the responsible for the SINS. We consider, however, effect...

the proper and quantitative recognition of the scale of turbulence in regard to issues such as sediment transport is of major importance. different experimental techniques can be used to determining the scale of turbulence, but the accuracy of these techniques is open to question. in this paper, after a review of the taylor method, the restrictions and advantages of velocity measurement techniq...

The copepod Acartia tonsa exhibits 2 different feeding modes: when feeding on small phytoplankton cells it sets up a feeding current and acts as a suspension feeder; when feeding on motile prey it acts as an ambush feeder. We examined experimentally the effects of small-scale turbulence on feeding rates in these 2 modes. The different feeding behaviours were triggered by offering the copepods d...

The main challenges in predicting the weather are insufficient computational power and gaps in our understanding of the complex dynamics of atmospheric phenomena. There are comparatively straightforward solutions to these problems: enough teraflops, the right equations. But what happens when you have neither? This is the problem facing aviation turbulence forecasters, who are charged with the t...

the present experiment was carried out to determine the effects of  antibiotic  growth promoters, blend of medicinal plants, prebiotic and organic acid on performance and nutrients apparent digestibility in a six week period, using one hundred ninety two one- day- old broiler chicks (cobb 500) on a randomized complete block design experiment with six treatments consisting of 4 replications and ...

in order to investigate the effects of foliar application with plant growth promoters on morphological characteristics of maize (single-cross 704), an experiment with three replications and sixteen treatments conducted with priming and spraying of growth promoters (organser, mas-raiz, dulzee and control)  as factorial based on complete randomized block design. analysis of variance showed that t...

Backpropagation neural network is trained to identify E.coli promoters of all spacing classes (15 to 21). A three module approach is employed wherein the first neural net module predicts the consensus boxes, the second module aligns the promoters to a length of 65 bases and the third neural net module predicts the entire sequence of 65 bases taking care of the possible interdependencies between...

Interplanetary turbulence, the best studied case of low frequency plasma turbulence, is the only directly quantified instance of astrophysical turbulence. Here, magnetic field correlation analysis, using for the first time only proper two-point, single time measurements, provides a key step in unraveling the space-time structure of interplanetary turbulence. Simultaneous magnetic field data fro...
