Cloudy Skies
Standard Gaussian-type statistics are not really adequate to describe atmospheric variability; this traditional approach implicitly dismisses fluctuations as "noise" of use only in computing a standard deviation which, together with the mean, presumably varies so little in space and time that one can meaningfully speak of "climatological" values. In geophysics, unfortunately, this approach ofte...
متن کاملSurprises in the Rhic Data *
The data from RHIC have produced many unanticipated results. I will describe a few of the surprises that occur in the soft spectra while my colleagues at this conference will summarize the hard spectra. One particularly important discovery is that properties of the initial state have an impact on the final state in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Another important discovery is that the colli...
متن کاملSurprises in Aperiodic Diffraction
Mathematical diffraction theory is concerned with the diffraction image of a given structure and the corresponding inverse problem of structure determination. In recent years, the understanding of systems with continuous and mixed spectra has improved considerably. Moreover, the phenomenon of homometry shows various unexpected new facets. Here, we report on some of the recent results in an exem...

متن کاملBlue skies for the best people.
DOI: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.114.305403 1 Editor’s preamble: The criteria for awarding research grants are a topic of the utmost importance, one that needs to be examined and debated carefully. As the readers probably know, there are strong and disparate viewpoints regarding this problem. Accordingly, in line with our editorial vision (1), this issue of Circulation Research features a News &Views co...
