This panel will present a high-level examination of the research papers that have appeared in proceedings of the International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.2, which addresses the interaction between information systems and the organization. More specifically, Working Group 8.2 is " concerned with the generation and dissemination of descriptive and normative knowledge ab...

In 3 decades, Stroke has evolved from a fledgling publication to the leading journal in the field. Many factors have contributed to this, particularly the succession of outstanding editors in chief. We begin a series on “Stroke: 30 Years of Progress,” wherein each editor recalls the highlights of his tenure, providing a unique view of the past 3 decades (see page 3 for Dr Millikan’s editorial)....

KNO scaling, i.e. the collapse of multiplicity distributions Pn onto a universal scaling curve manifests when Pn is expressed as the distribution of the standardized multiplicity (n− c)/λ with c and λ being location and scale parameters governed by leading particle effects and the growth of average multiplicity. At very high energies, strong violation of KNO scaling behavior is observed (pp̄) an...

The variability of summer precipitation in the southeastern United States is examined in this study using 60-yr (1948–2007) rainfall data. The Southeast summer rainfalls exhibited higher interannual variability with more intense summer droughts and anomalous wetness in the recent 30 years (1978–2007) than in the prior 30 years (1948–77). Such intensification of summer rainfall variability was c...

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is known as the Asian water tower that supplies fresh for millions of people in Asia. vortices (TPVs) are one major precipitation-producing weather systems over TP. characteristics TPV-associated precipitation from 1979 to 2017 quantitatively analysed based on three daily datasets. influence TPVs more significant warm season (May–September) because and TPV activities bo...

This study investigates how variations in Arctic sea ice and sea surface conditions influence δ18O of presentday Arctic precipitation. This is done using the model isoCAM3, an isotope-equipped version of the National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmosphere Model version 3. Four sensitivity experiments and one control simulation are performed with prescribed sea surface temperature ...
