Abstract Herta Müller has written several volumes of postcards, describing the work on collages as a “relaxation exercise” from laborious epic work. Her collage is heterogeneous, works with principle chance, deals clippings. The author tries o writing scissors that can be positioned somewhere between literature and fine arts. volume Father Telephones Flies enables political reading in which an ...

PURPOSE Peritoneal seeding is the most common type of metastasis or recurrence and one of the poor prognostic factors in gastric cancer. Moreover, there are as yet no effective treatment modalities available. Recently some research groups suggested the benefit of combined cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, but the related experiments remain in the trial stage. Therefore, we...

Computer models are important tools for assessing regional carbon sequestration and other environmental impacts of agricultural management practices. The Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model is a very flexible model that has been used to make a wide range of fieldand regional-scale environmental assessments. Large regional-scale applications of EPIC and similar models can requir...

We continue our investigations into absolute CR-epic spaces. Given a continuous function f : X // Y , with X absolute CR-epic, we search for conditions which imply that Y is also absolute CR-epic. We are particularly interested in the cases when X is a dense subset of Y and when f is a quotient mapping. To answer these questions, we consider issues of local extension of continuous functions. Th...

The interview-administered 24 h dietary recall (24-HDR) EPIC-Soft® has a series of controls to guarantee the quality of dietary data across countries. These comprise all steps that are part of fieldwork preparation, data collection and data management; however, a complete characterisation of these quality controls is still lacking. The present paper describes in detail the quality controls appl...

Gustav Philip Creutz and Gustaf Fredrik Gyllenborg, both born in 1731, were two major authors who developed pastoral epic poetry Swedish also known for their literary friendship. In Finnish national literature, they are as representatives of a supposedly light, rococo style that fell out fashion the nineteenth century. By proposing queer reading poetry, this article takes new approach to works,...

The EPIC model has been widely used in the world as an effective decision support tool in irrigation allocation and scheduling. However, there are still some uncertainties surrounding the soil water estimation of the EPIC model. In this paper the EPIC model was validated for soil water estimation in a semi-arid region, based on a set of long term experimental data on the Loess Plateau. Validati...

The characteristics of shallow and deep convection during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission/ Large-Scale Biosphere–Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (TRMM/LBA) and the Eastern Pacific Investigation of Climate Processes in the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere System (EPIC) are evaluated in this study. Using high-quality radar data collected during these two tropical field experiments, the reflecti...

AIM This evaluation aims to describe the quantity and quality of dietary fat, carbohydrate and fiber intake in both German cohorts participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). METHODS Estimates are based on standardized computer-guided 24-hour dietary recalls from 1,078 women and 1,013 men in Heidelberg and 898 women and 1,032 men in Potsdam. In a ...

We presented an algorithm for inferring aerosol layer height (ALH) and optical depth (AOD) over ocean surface from radiances in oxygen A and B bands measured by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) on the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) orbiting at Lagrangian-1 point. The algorithm was applied to EPIC imagery of a 2 day dust outbreak over the North Atlantic Ocean. Retrieved ALH...
