Fluorophores that are fixed during image acquisition produce a diffraction pattern that is characteristic of the orientation of the fluorophore's underlying dipole. Fluorescence localization microscopy techniques such as PALM and STORM achieve super-resolution by applying Gaussian-based fitting algorithms to in-focus images of individual fluorophores; when applied to fixed dipoles, this can lea...

efficacy of fomesafen and storm (bentazone+aciflorfen) herbicides on common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) weed control were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications during 2008 in lorestan province. herbicides were applied postemergence at three trifoliate growth stage of common bean. herbicide injury on weeds reached maximum three days after treatments and common b...

Severe drought periods followed by intense rainfall often leads to major floods in Mediterranean catchments. The resulting hydrology is complex and the response of solutes in the streams is often unpredictable. This study aimed to identify the most relevant factors controlling the hydrological responses to storms of an intermittent Mediterranean stream and to link those factors with dissolved o...

Several severe ionosphere storms have occurred in recent years that tripped the WAAS storm detector and caused partial WAAS service shutdowns. Under extreme conditions, these spatial gradients can threaten LAAS. In previous work [1-4], a “linear spatial gradient front” model was established and a threat space was extrapolated based on data from the 6 April 2000 ionospheric storm. User vertical ...

Coastal flood hazard varies in response to changes in storm surge climatology and the sea level. Here we combine probabilistic projections of the sea level and storm surge climatology to estimate the temporal evolution of flood hazard. We find that New York City's flood hazard has increased significantly over the past two centuries and is very likely to increase more sharply over the 21st centu...

In this two-part study, a single-Doppler parameter retrieval technique is developed and applied to a real-data case to provide model initial conditions for a short-range prediction of a supercell thunderstorm. The technique consists of the sequential application of a single-Doppler velocity retrieval (SDVR), followed by a variational velocity adjustment, a thermodynamic retrieval, and a moistur...
