Terra MODIS has successfully operated for more than 16 years since its launch in December 1999. From its observations, many science data products have been generated in support of a broad range of research activities and remote sensing applications. Terra MODIS has operated in a number of configurations and experienced a few anomalies, including spacecraft and instrument related events. MODIS c...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) provide valuable information about the fast brain dynamics subserving cognitive functions such as attention and working memory. Most ERP studies employ cognitive paradigms with a fixed task-set (i.e., press a button to coloured targets), but few have measured ERPs time-locked to shifts in set using a task-switching paradigm. The Madrid card sorting test (MCST) is...

Event-related potentials (ERPs) provide valuable information about the fast brain dynamics subserving cognitive functions such as attention and working memory. Most ERP studies employ cognitive paradigms with a fixed task-set (i.e., press a button to named targets), but few have measured ERPs time-locked to shifts in set using a taskswitching paradigm. The Madrid Card Sorting Test (MCST) is a d...

By DAVID MuLlER T HE (.)CCURRENCE of high molecular weight serum globulins as a prominent feature of certain blood dyscrasias was first noted by Waldenstrom and has been the subject of many reports and of several recent reviews.’ Although in many of the patients there are features suggesting multiple myelcma, lymphocytic leukemia, or one of the malignant lymphomas, in mcst instances the picture...

The S-NPP Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument, a polar orbiting Earth remote sensing instrument built using a strong MODIS background, employs a similarly designed on-board calibrating source—a V-grooved blackbody for the Thermal Emissive Bands (TEB). The central wavelengths of most VIIRS TEBs are very close to those of MODIS with the exception of the 10.7 μm channel. T...

Executive functions such as set-shifting and maintenance are cognitive processes that rely on complex neurodevelopmental processes. Although neurodevelopmental processes are mainly studied in animal models and in neuropsychiatric disorders, the underlying genetic basis for these processes under physiological conditions is poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the association between geneti...

In Canada, more than 80% of energy in the residential sector is used for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) production. This study aimed to model compare performance four different systems, using solar as a renewable source DHW A novel microchannel (MC) thermal collector microchannel-based hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) were fabricated (utilizing heat exchanger both cases), mathemati...

in this article, the bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded (fg) nanocomposites timoshenko beam model reinforced by single-walled boron nitride nanotube (swbnnt) using micro-mechanical approach embedded in an elastic medium is studied. the modified coupled stress (mcst) and nonlocal elasticity theories are developed to take into account the size-dependent effect. the mechani...
