Understanding the interaction of ocean eddies with tropical cyclones is critical for improving the understanding and prediction of the tropical cyclone intensity change. Here an investigation is presented of the interaction between Supertyphoon Maemi, the most intense tropical cyclone in 2003, and a warm ocean eddy in the western North Pacific. In September 2003, Maemi passed directly over a pr...

EXTRAINTESTINAL MANIFESTATIONS IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE RESULTS FROM NORTH-EASTERN ROMANIA (Abstract): The presence of extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common and well -known finding. Material and methods: Using the national database IBD Prospect, we conducted a prospective case-control study that included 325 patients diagnosed with Crohn's dis...

An Electrical Impedance Mammography (EIM) planar array imaging system is being developed at the University of Sussex for the detection of breast cancers. Investigations have shown that during data collection, systematic errors and patient artefacts are frequently introduced during signal acquisition from different electrodes pairs. This is caused, in particular, by the large variations in the e...

Extra-intestinal manifestations (EIM) of Crohn's disease (CD) affect up to 35% of patients and the presence of one EIM appears to be a predisposing factor for others.1 Orbital myositis (OM) is a subgroup of idiopathic orbital inflammatory syndrome involving one or more extra-ocular muscles and is described as a very rare EIM of CD.2 We present the case of a 55-year-old woman, with Crohn's colit...

We derive a Fast Multipole Method (FMM) where a low-rank approximation of the kernel is obtained using the Empirical Interpolation Method (EIM). Contrary to classical interpolationbased FMM, where the interpolation points and basis are fixed beforehand, the EIM is a nonlinear approximation method which constructs interpolation points and basis which are adapted to the kernel under consideration...

Turbulence and its structure formation are universal in neutral fluids and in plasmas. Turbulence annihilates global structures but can organize flows and eddies. The mutual-interactions between flow and the eddy give basic insights into the understanding of non-equilibrium and nonlinear interaction by turbulence. In fusion plasma, clarifying structure formation by Drift-wave turbulence, driven...

This study assessed electrical impedance myography (EIM) changes after spinal cord injury (SCI) with a localized multifrequency technology. The EIM measurement was performed on the biceps brachii muscle at rest condition of 17 cervical SCI subjects, and 23 neurologically intact subjects as control group. The results showed that there was a significant decrease in muscle reactance (X) and phase ...

We address these questions through systematic numerical sensitivity experiments using the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). We begin with idealized model experiment on f-plane and flat bottom, which provides insights on the follow-up experiments of more complicated eddy-windtopography dynamics on beta-plane in a more realistic coastal ocean setting (i.e. the Gulf of Mexico). In the GoM exp...

When sufficiently small amounts of excitability-inducing material (EIM) are added to a bimolecular lipid membrane, the conductance is limited to a few discrete levels and changes abruptly from one level to another. From our study of these fluctuations, we have concluded that the EIM-doped bilayer contains ion-conducting channels capable of undergoing transitions between two states of different ...

Compensation of the poleward eddy heat transport by the heat transport of an eddy-induced mean meridional overturning cell is a common feature in many eddyresolving ocean models. It has been ,argued that this is the result of the weak thermal driving of the ocean. As the actual air/sea coupling is scale dependent, it might be questioned whether the approximation of weak thermal driving is relev...
