Radial velocity variations have revealed planets orbiting 51 Peg, 47 UMa, and 70 Vir, and a low-mass companion orbiting HD 114762. We analyze parallel records of photometric measurements and Ca II H and K uxes in those stars. In the case of 51 Peg, the high precision of the diierential photometric measurements made by the 0.75m Automatic Photoelectric Telescope and the nonvariability of the sta...

Fall-related injuries are the most common and serious medical problems facing older adults. Recent studies of older adults have focused on the variability of step kinematics and the relationship to falling. The accuracy of step variability estimates is proportional to the number of steps that are collected. The use of an instrumented treadmill allows simultaneous collection of spatial and tempo...

Frictions are introduced in the information structure of a cash-in-advance dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with the interest of studying the impact of serially correlated monetary shocks on the variability of velocity. Possessing no analytical solution this dynamic environment, a projection method which parameterizes expectations and employs finite elements in the approximation of ...

From the daily index Ap of geomagnetic activity, sequences of consecutive occurrence of Ap≤4 for four days and Ap≤7 for 8 days are identified in the period 1963-1998. A superposed epoch analysis is performed with the onset of these sequences and with eight different solar wind and IMF parameters. A systematic pattern of change from days preceding to the days following the quiet intervals is cle...

We formulate equations for the slow time dynamics of fluid motion that self consistently account for the effects of the variability upon the mean. The time-average effects of the fluctuations introduce nonlinear dispersion that acts to spatially smooth the transport velocity of the mean flow relative to its circulation or momentum velocity, by the inversion of a Helmholtz operator whose length ...

Cerebral blood flow velocity was measured using Doppler ultrasonography in 20 babies who weighed less than 2500 g at birth and who were receiving assisted ventilation; their patterns of spontaneous respiration were recorded simultaneously. The babies were induced to breathe synchronously or asynchronously with the ventilator by manipulating the inspiratory and expiratory time settings. The vari...

OBJECTIVE Assessment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) peak systolic velocity (PSV) can accurately diagnose fetal anemia and has decreased the number of invasive procedures, such as amniocentesis and cordocentesis. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver variability as a measure of reproducibility of MCA PSV. The technique of correctly sampling ...

Using RADARSAT synthetic aperture radar data, we have mapped the flow velocity over much of the Greenland ice sheet for the winters of 2000/01 and 2005/06. These maps provide a detailed view of the ice-sheet flow, including that of the hundreds of glaciers draining the interior. The focused patterns of flow at the coast suggest a strong influence of bedrock topography. Differences between our t...

In this study EMA has been used to observe speech articulator movements during successive productions of a variety of novel polysyllabic nonsense words conforming to English phonotactics. Analysis of sensor trajectories comparing initial and final repetitions shows in general reduction of overall duration and distance travelled, lower variability, and fewer acceleration peaks. Comparison of con...
