Fast magnetosonic waves launched by transient, current sheet reconnection
A model is investigated describing the resistive dissipation of a finite, two-dimensional current sheet subject to suddenly enhanced resistivity. The resistivity rapidly diffuses the current to a distance where it couples to fast magnetosonic modes. The current then propagates away as a sheath moving at the local Alfvén speed. A current density peak remains at the X-point producing a steady ele...
متن کاملLocalized fast flow disturbance observed in the plasma sheet
An isolated plasma sheet flow burst took place at 22:02 UT, 1 September 2002, when the Cluster footpoint was located within the area covered by the Magnetometers-Ionospheric Radars-All-sky Cameras Large Experiment (MIRACLE). The event was associated with a clear but weak ionospheric disturbance and took place during a steady southward IMF interval, about 1 h preceding a major substorm onset. Mu...
متن کاملGreenland Ice Sheet: High-Elevation Balance and Peripheral Thinning.
Aircraft laser-altimeter surveys over northern Greenland in 1994 and 1999 have been coupled with previously reported data from southern Greenland to analyze the recent mass-balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Above 2000 meters elevation, the ice sheet is in balance on average but has some regions of local thickening or thinning. Thinning predominates at lower elevations, with rates exceeding 1 ...
متن کاملMembrane thinning effect of the beta-sheet antimicrobial protegrin.
Lipid bilayers containing the antimicrobial peptide protegrin-1 (PG-1) were studied by lamellar X-ray diffraction. Previously, we have shown that the peptide exists in two distinct states when associated with lipid bilayers depending on the peptide concentration [Heller, W. T., Waring, A. J., Lehrer, R. I., and Huang, H. W. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 17331-17338]. For concentrations below a lipid-...
متن کاملA novel fast and reliable thinning algorithm
In this paper a new algorithm is proposed for skeletonizing binary digital images. The algorithm does not employ the conventional pixelor non-pixel-based techniques. Instead, it identifies regions of particular shapes in the image and substitutes apppropriate skeleton patterns for them. Initially, as many horizontal and vertical strips as possible are detected. These correspond to rather straig...
