Mobility data has attracted the researchers for the past few years because of its rich context and spatiotemporal nature, where this information can be used for potential applications like early warning system, route prediction, traffic management, advertisement, social networking, and community finding. All the mentioned applications are based on mobility profile building and user trend analys...

Atmospheric profiles of water vapor and temperature can be estimated using appropriate retrieval algorithms based on radiometric measurements and atmospheric statistics. Radiometric measurements at multiple frequencies contribute information to profile retrieval, although at some frequencies the information they provide can be highly correlated with that at other frequencies due to similar sens...

In birds, during prenatal ‘critical periods’ the thermoregulatory system can be life-long imprinted by the actual incubation temperature. The aim of the present study is to elucidate long-term effects of prenatal temperature experiences, applied at the end of incubation, on central thermoregulatory mechanisms by detection of neuronal hypothalamic c-Fos expression as a consequence of acute heat ...

A single column model (SCM) version of the HadGEM1 is run in weak temperature gradient (WTG) mode, assuming a free-tropospheric temperature profile obtained from the same single column model in radiative-convective equilibrium (RCE) over a sea surface temperature (SST) of 301K. The resulting quasi-steady solutions are compared with climate statistics from time-dependent solutions of the full 3D...

This paper describes SCORPIO, a new one-dimensional, drift-diffusion simulator for modeling silicon-germanium heterojunction bipolar transistors (SiGe HBT's) over a wide temperature range (77400K). SCORPIO will be used to investigate fundamental low-temperature device physics problems and key device design issues. Comparisons of simulation results with experimental measurements are being used t...

The paper studies the “Lagrangian temperature” defined through the entropy maximization in the canonical ensemble, which is the negative inverse Lagrangian multiplier corresponding to the constraint of internal energy. The Lagrangian temperature is derived for systems out of thermal equilibrium described by kappa distributions such as space plasmas. The physical meaning of temperature is manife...

The mass profile of A1413 observed with XMM-Newton: implications for the M –T relation. Abstract. We present an XMM-Newton observation of A1413, a hot (kT = 6.5 keV) galaxy cluster at z = 0.143. We construct gas and temperature profiles over the radial range up to ∼ 1700 kpc. This radius corresponds to a density contrast δ ∼ 500 with respect to the critical density at the redshift of the cluste...

In this study, thermal performance across straight convecting- radiating fin with temperature dependent thermal conductivity is considered. The variation of parameters (VPM) is adopted to analyze the nonlinear higher order differential equations arising due to thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient on temperature distribution. Pertinent parameters such as thermo geometric and radiat...

We investigate the inverse problem associated with the heat equation involving recovery of initial temperature distribution in a two-layer cylinder with perfect thermal contact at the interface. The heat equation is solved backward in time to obtain a relationship between the final temperature distribution and the initial temperature profile. An integral representation for the problem is found,...

Laser forming is a thermal forming process which uses laser beam irradiation to produce the desired final forms. In this article, the effect of temperature gradient across  Al 6061-T6 aluminum sheets on bending angle is studied. Input parameters including laser power, scan velocity, beam diameter, and sheet thickness are the effective process parameters which influence the temperature gradient....
