The Unified Astronomy Thesaurus (UAT) is an open, interoperable and community-supported thesaurus which unifies the existing divergent and isolated Astronomy & Astrophysics vocabularies into a single high-quality, freely-available open thesaurus formalizing astronomical concepts and their inter-relationships. The UAT builds upon the existing IAU Thesaurus with major contributions from the astro...

The management of oil exploration is among the most important strategic tasks that a nation has. In Brazil, the Campos Basin is a petroleum rich area compassing oceanic fields that accounts for 80% of Brazil's oil production. Because the Campos Basin is offshore, there is a high volume of helicopter traffic in the area. Currently, the Department of Airspace Control, that manages the Brazilian A...

The aim of the present study was to examine whether low perceived control, a cognitive vulnerability factor, contributes to stress generation. We examined whether low perceived control contributed to greater dependent interpersonal, but not noninterpersonal, stressors, and whether such stressors then contributed to higher levels of anxious symptoms. As research has indicated that adolescent gir...

The present paper discusses two interesting phenomena concerning phifeatures on plural pronouns: (i) plural pronouns that denote atomic individuals (‘dependent plural pronouns’), and (ii) plural pronouns with more than one binder (‘partial binding’). A novel account of these two phenomena is proposed, according towhich all occurrences of phi-features are both semantically and morphologically re...

We present fermi liquid expressions for the low temperature behavior of the superfluid stiffness, explain why they differ from those suggested recently by Lee and Wen, and discuss their applicability to data on high-Tc superconductors. We find that a consistent description requires a strong, doping dependent anisotropy, which affects states near the zone corners much more strongly than those ne...

In this paper, we present an implementation of the “Semi Network-Form Game” framework to predict pilot behavior in a merging and landing scenario. In this scenario, two aircraft are approaching to a freeze horizon with approximately equal distance when they become aware of each other via an ADS-B communication link that will be available in NextGen airspace. Both pilots want to gain advantage o...

Rapidly increasing growth and demand in CNS/ATM, the advanced scheme for air traffic management, ADS-B system which is based on digital communication is being implemented in the field of surveillance. ADS-B concept appears to be an economically viable solution to obtain accurate aircraft position information. ADS-B system has better performance than the traditional radar and ADS-B system replac...

Motivation: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant cancer in the head and neck region, with especially high incidence in South China, Southeastern Asia and North Africa. Recently, a cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, CYC202, is studied for its antitumor effect in human NPC cells in vitro and in vivo. Results show that both cell lines and patients in the study responded to the drug ...

In this paper we present a study for the development of a new tool to support separation for General Aviation based on ADS-B technology. The tool aims at developing a device to support General Aviation pilots in the process of conflict detection and resolution as well as in the flight routing. The introduction of such a tool, based on ADS-B technology and a Game Theory collaborative algorithm, ...

Open access to flight data from ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) has provided researchers more insights for air traffic management than aircraft tracking alone. With large quantities of trajectory data collected from a wide range of different aircraft types, it is possible to extract accurate aircraft performance parameters. In this paper, a set of more than thirty parameters ...
