Observations in the region of the Pribilof Islands and Canyon (PIC) reveal a clockwise circulation around the group of islands and around each of the two largest islands, St. Paul and St. George. Six current meters deployed around St. Paul Island revealed a steady clockwise flow around the island, which was strongest south of the island and weakest to the east. We use a high-resolution tidal mo...

clinical observations and gross pathological studies have been performed in field cases in order to determine the effect of cleavers (galium aparine) seeds upon the productive traits and the health of broiler chickens. a negative impact upon productive traits (feedconversion ratio, growth rates and equalization) has been observed. the results of our studies allowed assuming that the health of b...

Domain-specific Internet of Things (IoT) applications are becoming more and more popular. They process data coming from sensor measurements. Adding semantic annotations to the sensory observations and measurements can allow to reason on data via logical rules. Stemming from Linked Open Data and Linked Open Vocabularies, we have designed sensor-based Linked Open Rules (S-LOR). S-LOR allows explo...

Succinonitrile dendrites, growing under steady-state conditions, are subjected to a rapid change in pressure. This leads to a rapid change in thermal driving force from the corresponding change in equilibrium melting temperature due to the Clapeyron effect, and a change in the far-field temperature due to adiabatic temperature changes in the bulk liquid and solid. This allows us to observe a de...

Observational data (i.e., data that records observations and measurements) plays a key role in many scientific disciplines. Observational data, however, are typically structured and described in ad hoc ways, making its discovery and integration diÆcult. The wide range of data collected, the variety of ways the data are used, and the needs of existing analysis applications make it impractical to...

Present study examines turbulent structures of a rough bed open-channel flow in the context of deterministic approach. Instantaneous velocity field is measured in different hydraulic conditions using two dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) in vertical plane and Stereoscopic PIV in horizontal plane. Different techniques and quantities such as swirl strength, two-point and cross-correlat...

The primary goal of the New Horizons Pluto–Kuiper Belt mission is to explore Pluto by 2020, before Pluto’s atmosphere collapses as predicted by scientists, and then explore the Kuiper Belt objects in an extended mission. The baseline mission plans to launch in January 2006, using a Jupiter gravity assist trajectory to reach Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft will arrive at Pluto as early as 201...

The connection of coalition systems has many challenges, one of the most important and the one being address by this paper is the lack of understanding of information assurance (IA) in a coalition environment. This paper presents an approach to managing this coalition IA risk using a taxonomy to organize readily available observations and measurements that are potential indicators of a system's...

Field spectroscopy has undergone a remarkable growth over the past two decades in terms of use and application to different scientific disciplines. This work presents an important step forward to improve the interoperability for the spectral library interchange in the field spectroscopy scientific community, by establishing an XML-based metadata system using published International Organization...

Cryogenic Germanium detectors are widely used in high energy physics and astrophysics – for example in direct dark matter searches (such as the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment), or in neutrino-less double-beta decay experiments (such as MAJORANA). Potential future applications include X-ray observations and measurements of coherent neutrino scattering. In all of these fields, increasing...
