This study is based on measurements of trapped and precipitated electrons of energy >30 keV and >100 keV observed by polar orbiting environmental satellites during overpasses of the imaging riometer at Kilpisjärvi, Finland. The satellites are in sun-synchronous orbits of about 850 km altitude, recording the electron fluxes at 2-s time resolution. The riometer measures the radiowave absorption a...

Virtual architectural (indoor) scenes are often modeled in 3D for various types of simulation systems. For instance, some authors propose methods dedicated to lighting, heat transfer, acoustic or radiowave propagation simulations. These methods rely in most cases on a volumetric representation of the environment, with adjacency and incidence relationships. Unfortunately, many buildings data are...

Reuse, refurbishing, and recycling are the most sustainable options for handling waste materials. However, municipal solid (MSW) that is highly heterogenic, crude, contaminated, decrepit, thermal conversion in waste-to-energy (WtE) plants an option. In such plants, fuel quality of MSW difficult to predict substantial changes expected challenging incineration stability. Development new online se...

Phase scintillation caused by propagation through irregularities in the solar wind, ionosphere, and troposphere, introduces noise in spacecraft radio science experiments. In precision Doppler tracking observations, scintillation can be the dominant noise source; statistics of this propagation noise are necessary for experiment planning and in design of optimum signal processing procedures. Here...

They state that “Alternative methods including electrocauterization and CO2 [carbon dioxide] laser, via vaporization improve hemostasis but result in scarring and poor cosmesis.” There is no citation for this statement, so I assume it represents the authors’ opinions. Although I am a big proponent of 4.0-MHz radiowave surgery, I also use the CO2 laser to treat rhinophyma (frequently concomitant...

BACKGROUND Conjunctival chemosis often complicates cosmetic lower eyelid blepharoplasty. With the conventional approaches, including medical or surgical methods, irritative symptoms are produced and complete recovery is delayed. The authors introduced a new simple surgical approach for treating persistent conjunctival chemosis following cosmetic blepharoplasty. METHODS Eleven patients (12 eye...

Previous studies of magnetoinductive waves in homogeneous media with resonant elements consisting of capacitively loaded metallic loops are extended to the case when a single wave from one medium is incident upon another one. The relationship between the input and output angles and the reflection and transmission coefficients are determined with the aid of the dispersion equation for different ...
