[1] The resolution operator R is a critical accompaniment to tomographic models of the mantle. R facilitates the comparison between conceptual three-dimensional velocity models and tomographic models because it can filter these theoretical models to the spatial resolution of the tomographic model. We compute R for the tomographic model S20RTS (Ritsema et al., 1999, 2004) and two companion model...

[1] Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are 20to 40-day waves that appear along the sea surface temperature (SST) front of the equatorial cold tongues. In this study, we investigate the atmospheric planetary boundary layer response to TIW-induced SST variations in the tropical Atlantic Ocean using Community Atmosphere Model version 3 (CAM3) developed at the National Center for Atmospheric Researc...

SUMMARY Holt Oram Syndrome consisting of upper limb defcts, cardiac anomalies and narrow shoulder, was first described by Holt and Oram in 1960. The inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant and most commonly encoutered cardiac anomalies being ASD, although all variaties of C.H.D are reported. Upper limb anomalies are not specific, although scaphoid bone deformity is almost characteristic in t...

The objective of the present research was the characterisation of fire hazard using temporal sequences of land surface temperature (LST) derived from Terra-MODIS measurements. The investigation was based on a complete sequence of MODIS LST data from 2000 to 2006 on Campania (Italy) and on a dataset of fires officially recorded in the area in the same period. Missing and/or cloudy LST data were ...

Large-scale mantle convection, to first order, is a system driven by interior density anomalies, modulated by variable plate thickness and extreme theology variations at the top of the mantle. The rheological difference between oceanic and continental regions significantly influences the surface velocity. We apply a three-dimensional NewtonJan viscous flow model to explain the largescale presen...

High-amplitude ridges can enforce heat-trapping systems that persist through an entire season, contributing to drought events. However, the impacts of day-to-day weather system changes at meso- and synoptic-scale are also important, albeit less well studied. We identify five types (WTs) from 500-hPa geopotential height anomalies. These categories include WT4, which represents associated dry war...

background this cross sectional study was performed to evaluate dental ages and incidence of dental anomalies in children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). methods and materials a total of 25 all patient who passed at least 2 years of chemotherapy and 25 healthy sex and age matched children were evaluated. dental age as well as dental anomalies in shape, size, number, and structur...
