The Noah-MP land surface model (LSM) relies on the Monin-Obukhov (M-O) Similarity Theory (MOST) to calculate land-atmosphere exchanges of water, energy, and momentum fluxes. However, MOST flux-profile relationships neglect canopy-induced turbulence in roughness sublayer (RSL) parameterize within-canopy an ad hoc manner. We implement a new physics scheme (M-O-RSL) into that explicitly parameteri...

In this paper the effective bandwidths of stable distributions are studied. Effective bandwidths are being heavily promoted as the most appropriate method for call admission control (CAC) and resource allocation within ATM networks. Recent work in teletraffic modelling has suggested that models based on stable distributionsprovide an efficient mechanism for capturing the long range dependence a...

Hirsch et al., [1], have outlined for the US DOE the requirements to start countermeasures 20 years before the peak of global oil production. This is in line with the Noah analogy presented at the first ASPO workshop [2]. It is best to finish the ark before the flood. Western Australia's Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Hon. Alannah MacTiernan has said "It is also certain that the cost...

The objective of this research is to discover the rules by which the human nervous system controls the cyclic task of paddle juggling. The existence of separate feedforward and feedback control signals is hypothesized, and the feedforward control system is completely identified using tools from dynamical systems theory. Using this knowledge progress is made in identifying the feedback control s...

Justin Martyr, in his argument with Trypho the Jew,' cites Adam, Abel, Enoch, Lot, Noah, and Melchizedek as examples of ancients who were uncircumcized but approved by God, and then he adds: "Moreover, all those righteous men already mentioned, though they kept no Sabbaths, were pleasing to God; and after them Abraham with all his descendents until Moses. . . . ' 2 The assertion that none of th...
