Towards measuring the meridional overturning circulation from space
We present a step towards measuring the meridional overturning circulation (MOC), i.e. the full-depth water mass transport, in the North Atlantic using satellite data. Using the Parallel Ocean Climate Model, we simulate satellite observations of ocean bottom pressure and sea surface height (SSH) over the 20-year period from 1979–1998, and use a linear model to estimate the MOC. As much as 93.5%...
متن کاملOlivocochlear efferent function: issues regarding methods and the interpretation of results
As studies of the olivocochlear (OC) efferent system have matured, issues have been identified that need to be taken into account in the design of new studies and in the interpretation of existing work. The need for high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), multiple alternations of conditions, and avoiding middle-ear-muscle activation have been previously highlighted. Less well-known issues include: ...

متن کاملMeasuring excellence in neurosurgical competence and certification.
The public, payors, healthcare organizations, and governmental agencies all support periodic recertification of specialists. In 1998, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) created the Task Force on Competence to ensure that all certified specialists maintain satisfactory, current knowledge and skills throughout their careers. In March 2000, all ABMS member boards, including the Ameri...
متن کاملInvestigation of Fluid-structure Interaction by Explicit Central Finite Difference Methods
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) occurs when the dynamic water hammer forces; cause vibrations in the pipe wall. FSI in pipe systems due to Poisson and junction coupling has been the center of attention in recent years. It causes fluctuations in pressure heads and vibrations in the pipe wall. The governing equations of this phenomenon include a system of first order hyperbolic partial differen...
