According to IPCC, the climate sensitivity in the absence of feedbacks is T = 1 C. The evaluation is based on the Stefan-Boltzmann law. This naive picture is however doubtful. In the present work we have examined the climate sensitivity in the analytic model of radiative transfer and found that the IPCC is incorrect. The precise climate sensitivity is T = 1:4 C. The observed temperature anomaly...

We studied 94 panic subjects with a view to identify clinical subtypes of panic disorder. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation of 13 DSM-IV panic symptoms yielded four clinically meaningful factors. Factor I with hot flushes, trembling and sweating was suggestive of a general autonomic hyperactivity. Factor II had cognitive symptoms such as fear of loss of control or going crazy a...

In this paper we study analytically the viscous ‘sabra’ shell model of energy turbulent cascade. We prove the global regularity of solutions and show that the shell model has finitely many asymptotic degrees of freedom, specifically: a finite dimensional global attractor and globally invariant inertial manifolds. Moreover, we establish the existence of exponentially decaying energy dissipation ...

A detailed analytic study of the log-linear phase transition of the Smith-Waterman local alignment algorithm is presented. A rectangular alignment lattice is introduced to facilitate the statistical analysis for alignment with gaps. With a few simplifying assumptions, we obtain an analytic expression for the loci of the phase transition line. Our result reproduces the exact and conjectured valu...

We analyze the phenomenon of preheating, i.e. explosive particle production due to parametric amplification of quantum fluctuations in the unbroken symmetry case, or spinodal instabilities in the broken symmetry phase, using the Minkowski space O(N) vector model in the large N limit to study the non-perturbative issues involved. We give analytic results for weak couplings and times short compar...

work is stimulating and of high quality but, too often, their contributions appear to be retrospective insights into the child's mind from case material gleaned during the psycho-analysis of an adult. In consequence, the recognition of the deviations or neuroses at the time they occur in the child is not discussed. When the article is a discussion of a child under treatment, the interpretations...

i. In this paper I am primarily concerned to present a theoretical system. Its resemblance to a philosophical theory depends on the fact that philosophers have concerned themselves with the same subject-matter; it differs from philosophical theory in that it is intended, like all psycho-analytical theories, for use. It is devised with the intention that practising psycho-analysts should restate...

The g~owth of errors in a dish-pan model of the atmosphere was studied by means of analogues. Two states which resemble each other closely Lre termed analogues. Either state may be regarded as being equal to the other plus a small error. The rate of growth of this error may be determined by the subsequent behavior of the states. One hundred streak photographs of the free surface velocity field ...
