This is the first of a three-part investigation into tropical cyclone (TC) genesis in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Tropical Cyclone Limited Area Prediction System (TC-LAPS), an operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecast model. The primary TC-LAPS vortex enhancement mechanism is presented in Part I, the entire genesis process is illustrated in Part II using a single TC-LAP...

Introduction Conclusions References

Contemporary suicide terrorists from the Middle East are publicly deemed crazed cowards bent on senseless destruction who thrive in poverty and ignorance. Recent research indicates they have no appreciable psychopathology and are as educated and economically well-off as surrounding populations. A first line of defense is to get the communities from which suicide attackers stem to stop the attac...

SUMMARY We implemented a software tool called GENESIS for three different genome rearrangement problems: Sorting a unichromosomal genome by weighted reversals and transpositions (SwRT), sorting a multichromosomal genome by reversals, translocations, fusions and fissions (SRTl), and sorting a multichromosomal genome by weighted reversals, translocations, fusions, fissions and transpositions (SwR...

The long-term goal of this project is to improve the prediction of tropical cyclone (TC) genesis, structure and intensity changes through improved understanding of the fundamental mechanisms involved. The accurate prediction of TC genesis, structure and intensity changes is critical to Navy missions and civilian activities in coastal areas. Significant gains have been made in the TC track predi...

This article explores the place of conscience in higher education. It begins by reconstructing the place of conscience in Augustine’s thought, drawing on Augustine’s reading of Genesis 3, the Psalms, and his own spiritual journey. Its basic aim is to clarify Augustine’s account of conscience as self-judgment, identifying the conditions under which self-judgment occurs. After identifying these c...

A large number of embryological processes must be carried out for the development of a new human being. There are numerous sources of error that can lead to malformations up to stillbirths. However, deviations can also occur within these processes, which lead to the development of two or more children, that is to say, twins or generally multiple births. This article explains how exactly this is...

Detailed network modeling integrating knowledge from diierent biological levels of description is important for understanding brain function. To facilitate modeling based on collated experimental connectivity data, we implemented tools in the GENESIS simulation environment for automatic generation, visualization and modiÿcation of network models with units representing cells, layers or cortical...
