Rain Attenuation at Terahertz

Rain attenuation values were calculated using empirical raindrop-size distributions, which were, Marshall-Palmer (M-P), Best, Polyakova-Shifrin (P-S) and Weibull raindrop-size distributions, and also calculated using a specific rain attenuation model for prediction methods recommended by ITU-R. Measurements of Terahertz wave taken at 313 GHz (0.96 mm) were compared with our calculations. Result...

Comparative Study on VQ with Simple GA and Ordain GA

In the present research we study the codebook generation problem of vector quantization, using two different techniques of Genetic Algorithm (GA). We compared the Simple GA (SGA) method and Ordain GA (OGA) method in vector quantization. SGA with roulette and tournament selection with elitist approach is used in the experiments. The OGA is based on the pair wise nearest neighbour method (PNN). B...

Comparison of radar data versus rainfall data

Doppler radar data are increasingly used in rainfall-runoff synthesis studies, perhaps due to radar data availability, among other factors. However, the veracity of the radar data are often a topic of concern. In this paper, three Doppler radar outcomes developed by the United States National Weather Service at three radar sites are examined and compared to actual rain gage data for two separat...

“Baby Bollinger” (first name: Allen) was born to Anna and Allen Bollinger at the German-American Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. The seven-pound Baby Bollinger was diagnosed with multiple physical anomalies and became the first victim in a string of public infanticides of disabled babies committed by the head of staff at the hospital, Dr. Harry Haiselden. The doctor declared Baby Bollinger a “mo...
