Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence indicate a linear relationship between the land surface temperature (Ts) and the corresponding evapotranspiration (ET) rate under spatially constant wind and net energy conditions at a homogeneous vegetated surface. Such a relationship lies at the core of the popular surface energy balance algorithm (SEBAL); the satellite-based energy balance ap...

INTRODUCTION Patients with vestibular hypofunction, a typical finding in peripheral vestibular disorders, show body balance alterations. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the postural control of patients with vertigo and unilateral vestibular hypofunction. METHOD This is a clinical cross-sectional study. Twenty-five patients with vertigo and unilateral vestibular hypofunction and a homogeneous control ...

We study long-range interacting systems perturbed by external stochastic forces. Unlike the case of short-range systems, where stochastic forces usually act locally on each particle, here we consider perturbations by external stochastic fields. The system reaches stationary states where external forces balance dissipation on average. These states do not respect detailed balance and support non-...

Proprioceptors are responsible for the conscious sensation of limb position and movement, muscle tension or force, and balance. Recent evidence suggests that Piezo2 is a low threshold mechanosensory receptor in the peripheral nervous system, acting as a transducer for touch sensation and proprioception. Thus, we characterized proprioceptive neurons in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus that a...

In this paper we investigate the possibility of elastodynamic transformation cloaking in bodies made non-centrosymmetric gradient solids. The goal is to hide a hole from elastic disturbances sense that mechanical response homogeneous and isotropic body with covered by cloak would be identical corresponding outside cloak. It known case centrosymmetric solids balance angular momentum obstruction ...

a thermophilic anaerobic contact reactor for the treatment of potato-processing wastewaterswas designed as a continuous-flow, completely-mixed homogeneous system. the reactor was operated at ten different organic loading rates ranging from 0.84 g cod/l·d to 7.00 g cod/l·d for a duration of approximately 250 days. the fundamental way to maintain optimum operating conditions of anaerobic digestio...

We reanalyze some of the data used by Klots to establish an experimental basis for the claim by Gspann that clusters have a highest temperature in molecular beams. The value of this temperature is given by the evaporative activation energy and a dimensionless parameter, called the Gspann parameter. The value of the Gspann parameter we derive from the data is higher than the value found by Klots...

The Deng-Lynch method was developed to estimate the rate and effects of deleterious genomic mutations (DGM) in natural populations under the assumption that populations are either completely outcrossing or completely selfing and that populations are at mutation-selection (M-S) balance. However, in many plant and animal populations, selfing or outcrossing is often incomplete in that a proportion...
