in this article the relationship between the amount of seasonal rainfall (autumn, winter and spring) and climate indices in iran have been studied. the climate indices (the southern oscillation(soi),the north atlantic oscillation(nao), arctic oscillation(ao),nino 3/4,the multivariate enso index(mei),trans_ nino index(tni) and the pacific decadal oscillation(pdo) are used as independent variable...

The deployment of synchrophasor technology in India as a part of the pilot project has significantly improved the visibility of the system dynamics in real-time. The synchrophasor data has also been found to be of great help in off-line analysis of grid events. The grid disturbance in India in July 2012 has increased the need for exploring the possible applications of synchrophasor data in moni...

Interleukin (IL)-1beta mRNA expression in the liver and spleen was examined after subjection to oscillation stress in the rat. Thirty-minute subjection to oscillation stress increased IL-1beta mRNA expression in the both organs. Prior treatment of rats with gadolinium chloride, which eliminates macrophages, prevented the stress-induced IL-1beta expression. Either adrenalectomy or treatment of g...

Many extreme scale scientific applications have workloads comprised of a large number of individual high-performance tasks. The Pilot abstraction decouples workload specification, resource management, and task execution via job placeholders and late-binding. As such, suitable implementations of the Pilot abstraction can support the collective execution of large number of tasks on supercomputers...
