Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence indicate a linear relationship between the land surface temperature (Ts) and the corresponding evapotranspiration (ET) rate under spatially constant wind and net energy conditions at a homogeneous vegetated surface. Such a relationship lies at the core of the popular surface energy balance algorithm (SEBAL); the satellite-based energy balance ap...

T HERE is little information available on methods of separating the urine and feces in balance trials with mature cows and heifers. Forbes et el. (I937) and Briggs and Gallup (i949) reviewed the earlier literature and described acceptable methods for use with steers, involving adaptable commercial separators. The complicated and expensive facilities required for balance trials with steers and h...

This document specifies a Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) payload format to be used for Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) and Adaptive MultiRate Wideband (AMR-WB) encoded speech signals. The payload format is designed to be able to interoperate with existing AMR and AMR-WB transport formats on non-IP networks. In addition, a file format is specified for transport of AMR and AMR-WB speech data in sto...

We describe an adaptive method for achieving load balance in parallel computations simulating phenomena which are distributed over a spatially extended region, but are local in nature. We have tested the method on standard short-ranged parallel molecular dynamics calculations. The performance gain we observe confirms the value of the method for this type of calculation. We discuss possible gene...

This paper applies He’s Energy balance method (EBM) to study periodic solutions of strongly nonlinear systems such as nonlinear vibrations and oscillations. The method is applied to two nonlinear differential equations. Some examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the method. The results are compared with exact solutions which lead us showing a good accuracy. The m...
