Baroclinic SPG variabilty

Enhanced Atlantic subpolar gyre variability through baroclinic threshold in a coarse resolution model

Direct observations, satellite measurements and paleo records reveal strong variability in the Atlantic subpolar gyre on various time scales. Here we show that variations of comparable amplitude can only be simulated in a coupled climate model in the proximity of a dynamical threshold. The threshold and the associated dynamic response is due to a positive feedback involving increased salt trans...

Physical Simulation of Baroclinic Waves and Vortices in the Atmosphere

Upper limb function and functional independence in patients with shoulder pain after stroke.

Objective To examine the frequency of shoulder pain following stroke. Methods Stroke patient function was evaluated using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) and Scale for Upper Limb Function in Stroke (SULFS). Function scores were examined and compared between the shoulder pain group (SPG) and the no shoulder pain group (No-SPG). Results A total of 58 patients, 22 women (37.9%), were...

Linear representations of semipartial geometries∗†

Semipartial geometries (SPG) were introduced in 1978 by Debroey and Thas [5]. As some of the examples they provided were embedded in affine space it was a natural question to ask whether it was possible to classify all SPG embedded in affine space. In AG(2, q) and AG(3, q) a complete classification was obtained ([6]). Later on it was shown that if an SPG, with α > 1, is embedded in affine space...

Oxidative Stress in Caenorhabditis elegans: Protective Effects of Spartin

Troyer syndrome is caused by a mutation in the SPG20 gene, which results in complete loss of expression of the protein spartin. We generated a genetic model of Troyer syndrome in worms to explore the locomotor consequences of a null mutation of the Caenorhabditis elegans SPG20 orthologue, F57B10.9, also known as spg-20. Spg-20 mutants showed decreased length, crawling speed, and thrashing frequ...
