An approach to integrate sea surface temperature (SST) measurements into estimates of geolocations calculated by changes in ambient light level from data downloaded from pop-up satellite archival tags (PSAT) is presented. The model is an extension of an approach based on Kalman filter estimation in a statespace model. The approach uses longitude and latitude estimated from light, and SST. The e...

[1] Simple dynamical models developed for the tropical Pacific surface winds may not be directly applicable in the Atlantic in view of the basin’s different geometry and size and the potential impact of deep heating from over the adjacent African and South American continents. As simple dynamical models generate surface winds from seasurface temperature (SST), it is worth ascertaining the exten...

[Purpose] This study investigated to determine whether the Sideways Stepping Test (SST) is a useful test to detect unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH). [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-eight subjects including both male and females between the ages of 25 and 55 who had been diagnosed with UVH were recruited for the study. All the subjects were tested with the SST and followed by the head-shak...

Abstract Rapid intensification (RI ≥ 20 knots/24h) is essential to very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS) in the North Indian Ocean (NIO). Between 1980 and 2020, annual numbers of VSCSs were strongly correlated with RI-20 events during pre-monsoon (April-June) post-monsoon (October-December) periods Arabian Sea (ARB) Bay Bengal (BoB). Singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis was applied sea surfa...

Nonuniqueness in traveltime tomographic velocity analysis is largely the result of insufficiency in model parameterization. Traditional tomography parameterizes the model with nonoverlapping cells. Such single-scale tomography (SST) from inverting traveltimes only may produce underdeterminacy at places of insufficient ray coverage. To cope with the poor and uneven ray coverage, a multiscale tom...

Split window (SW) methods, which have been successfully used to retrieve measurements of land surface temperature (LST) and sea surface temperature (SST) from MODIS images, were exploited to evaluate the SST data of three sections of Italian coastal waters. For this purpose, sea surface emissivity (SSE) values were estimated by adding the effects of salinity and total suspended particulate matt...

Monthly climatologies of satellite-derived sea-surface temperature (SST, from AVHRR) and ocean color (from Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner and Sea-viewing Wide-Field-of-view Sensor) around the Gal! apagos Archipelago are used to estimate the mean seasonal cycle of these properties and their relationship to the equatorial circulation in this oceanographically complex region. Harmonic analysi...

Somatostatin is known to modulate mesangial and tubular cell function and growth, but the somatostatin receptor (sst) subtypes responsible for these effects have not been defined. There are at least five different sst receptor subtypes (sst(1)-sst(5)). We used RT-PCR to demonstrate that normal human kidney consistently expresses mRNA for sst(1) and sst(2) (9 of 9 donors). Some donors expressed ...

inequities in health need to be monitored and necessary actions should be taken to reduce them. this study aimed to determine the socioeconomic distribution of self-reported chronic diseases and self-assessed health (sah) in turkey and try to evaluate the determinants of such inequalities in terms of their contributions.cross-sectional data from the turkish health survey conducted during year 2...

in a large scale cyclic storage system ,as the number of rule parameters and/or number of operating period increase, general purpose gradient-based nlp solvers and/or genetic algorithms may loose their merits in finding optimally feasible solution to the problem. in these cases hybrid ga which decomposes the main problem into two manageable sub-problems with an iterative scheme between ga and l...
