A possibility of measuring water vapor column from diffuse irradiance, and thus the extension of optical retrievals to cloudy days, was investigated. The data from the Rotating Shadowband Spectroradiometer (RSS) during its winter deployment at the North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site is used. The initial analysis covers 20 days in March 1999 that include clear, partly cloudy, and overcast days. Dur...

To determine If patients with rest angina have more severe regional Isehemla than padents with exertlonal aiigln., we compared the severity of left coronary artery (LCA) stenods In 29 patIents with transient anterior chemIc S’ -T changes at rest, and 30 patIents with anterior ST changes only during exertion. The percentage diameter stenosis w measured with Vernier calIpers (2 X lesion diameter ...

this paper presents the analysis of the onset and withdrawal dates and the duration of summer monsoon over nepal for last 63 years (1951-2013). the trend analysis revealed that both the onset and withdrawal of summer monsoon are delayed in recent years. the statistical analysis using cumulative deviation and worsley likelihood tests showed a step jump in mean withdrawal date after the year 1997...

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

In this paper, firstly, in $E_1^3$, we defined normal Fermi-Walker derivative and applied for the adapted frame. Normal Fermi-Walker parallelism, normal non-rotating frame, and Darboux vector expressions of normal Fermi-Walker derivative by normal Fermi-Walker derivative are given for adapted frame. Being conditions of normal Fermi-Walker derivative and normal non-rotating frame are examined fo...

This paper contains a strain gradient theory to capture size effects in rotating nanodisks of variable thickness under thermal and mechanical loading. Material properties of nanodisks have been taken homogeneous material. The strain gradient theory and the Hamilton’s principle are employed to derive the governing equations. Due to complexity of the governing differential equation and boundary c...

abstract ba ckground: quality of services, making communications with target groups, and educating them are among the most important success factors in implementation of family planning programs. provision of public access to contraception and related methods, counseling services, and paying attention to social specification and cultures are important in promotion of service quality. with regar...

The increasing use of buprenorphine among drug dependent subjects demands systematic enquiry into the clinical profile of buprenorphine withdrawal. Six male buprenorphine dependent (parenteral) subjects were observed for opiate withdrawal over a two week period. The onset of withdrawal occurred 48 hours after the last dose, peaked around the third day and lasted up to ten days. The withdrawals ...
