Retrievals of tropospheric temperature trends from data of the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) are subject to biases related to the strong cooling of the stratosphere during the past few decades. The magnitude of this stratospheric contamination in various retrievals is estimated using stratospheric temperature trend profiles based on observations. It is found that from 1979 to 2001 the stratosph...

SPEC_PULS describes a suite of computer programs to simulate the emergent spectrum from radially-pulsating star. It combines Christy-type non-linear pulsation code with classical stellar atmosphere codes. The principal aim is interpret dynamical radially pulsating extreme helium star V652 Her, which shows strong shock at minimum radius. components are general enough treat other classes radial p...

We address the problem of 3D reconstruction from image features tracked along a sequence. The most precise algorithms compute the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimate and are iterative. They need an approximate 3D reconstruction as starting position. For that purpose, we propose a closed-form expression of paraperspective reconstruction. A matrix that approximately verifies the properties of a para...

The development of ultrasmooth, macroscopic-sized silver (Ag) crystals exhibiting reduced losses is critical to fully characterize the ultimate performance of Ag as a plasmonic material, and to enable cascaded and integrated plasmonic devices. Here we demonstrate the growth of single-crystal Ag plates with millimetre lateral sizes for linear and nonlinear plasmonic applications. Using these Ag ...

Previous attempts to model steady state Münch pressure flow in phloem (Christy and Ferrier. [1973]. Plant Physiol. 52: 531-538; and Ferrier et al. [1974]. Plant Physiol. 54: 589-600) lack sufficient equations, and results were produced which do not represent correct mathematical solutions. Additional equations for the present closed form model were derived by assuming that unloading of a given ...

Strains of the bacterium Lysobacter enzymogenes have been isolated from various regions of the world and reported to have potential as biological control agents against plant pathogens. Previous research revealed many ecological traits and mechanisms important to biological control by L. enzymogenes. Much of the previous research, however, was conducted on individual strains with little direct ...
