This paper proposes conceptual model which can be used to facilitate the discovery, integration and analysis of environmental data in cancer-related risk studies. Persistent organic pollutants were chosen as a model because of their persistence, bioaccumulation potential and genotoxicity. Part dealing with cancer risk is primarily focused on population-based observations encompassing a wide ran...

-Rocket and satellite studies have demonstrated that nitric oxide (NO) in the thermosphere is almost always more abundant at higher than at lower latitudes. The ultraviolet nitric oxide spectrometer (UVNO) on the Atmosphere Explorer C (AE-C) spacecraft observed longitudinal asymmetries in thermospheric NO with greater abundances existing in the longitudinal sector associated with the magnetic p...

We quantify the long-term predictability of global mean daily temperature data by means of the Rényi entropy of second order K2. We are interested in the yearly amplitude fluctuations of the temperature. Hence, the data are low-pass filtered. The obtained oscillatory signal has a more or less constant frequency, depending on the geographical coordinates, but its amplitude fluctuates irregularly...

This paper introduces a new group of multi-dimensional coordinate spaces. The main objective is to visualize n-dimensions in the same graphical space and time. This paper is divided into three parts. The first part shows the literature review about dimension and coordinate systems (Cartesian plane and coordinate space). The second part will present how the multi-dimensional coordinate spaces wo...

Under the classical non-relativistic consideration of the space-time we propose the model of the laws of gravity and Electrodynamics, invariant under the galilean transformations and moreover, under every change of non-inertial cartesian coordinate system. Being in the frames of non-relativistic model of the space-time, we adopt some general ideas of the General Theory of Relativity, like the a...

a fundamental topic in computational fluid dynamics is the role of coordinate particularly for searching optimized coordinates. the objective of this study is the numerical modeling of supersonic flows using a new coordinate system i.e. unified coordinate system (ucs) uses moving mesh with motionless viewing window technique. ucs has an advantage over traditional coordinate systems (eulerian an...

A general formulation of the properties, optical synthesis, and existence of space variant optical processors using coordinate transformations is provided. General expressions that the coordinate transformations must satisfy are described. Specific examples of the use of the methodology to determine the existence of and methods for the realization of space variant optical processors are include...

We develop a mathematically well-defined path integral formalism for general symplectic manifolds. We argue that in order to make a path integral quantization covariant under general coordinate transformations on the phase space and involve a genuine functional measure that is both finite and countably additive, the phase space manifold should be equipped with a Riemannian structure (metric). A...

This paper presents a novel circular effect generation approach. In general, pixel location in an image can be represented with i and j coordinate. To manipulate (i,j) coordinate system easier, we transform (i,j) coordinate system into (ρ,θ) coordinate system. Two parameters are used for generating circular effect: R and T. After applying selected R and T in (ρ,θ) coordinate system, (ρ2,θ2) are...
