A thermodynamic model for the generation of magnetic fields in the planets is proposed, considering crossed effects between gravitational and electric forces. The magnetic field of the Earth is estimated and found to be in agreement with the actual field. The ratio between the field of several planets and that of the Earth is calculated in the model and compared with the same ratio for the meas...

The profilogram of FAE (fuel-air explosive) fuel explosion image is the important base to analyze the explosion process. In this article, the double peak method, the iteration method, the OTSU method, and the maximum entropy criterion method are respectively used to confirm the threshold, and extract and compare the profilograms of the FAE fuel explosion image, which could establish the base fo...

About 12 miles to the northeast of Carrizozo lies the “ghost town” of White Oaks. This once thriving mining community rests in a small valley surrounded by three wrinkled and rounded mountain peaks: the remains of a ancient cluster of laccoliths (see attached Figure 1). To the northwest lies Lone Mountain with its associated peak, Baxter Mountain, while to the southeast lies Patos Mountain and ...

On 26 January, the San Francisco Section partnered with Advanced Systems Groups (ASG) and Sports Video Group (SVG) to create inaugural Silicon Valley Summit. The summit brought together members of Valley, engineers from world film television, for a day presentations, roundtables, even private event students seeking join industry.

INTRODUCTION The Study to Understand Mortality and Morbidity in COPD (SUMMIT) is a randomised controlled trial conducted in patients with COPD and comorbid cardiovascular disease, designed to assess the ‘impact of Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol combination (FF/VI) and its individual components on the survival of patients with moderate COPD and either a history of CVD or at increased risk for CV...
