West Rota Volcano (WRV) is a recently discovered extinct submarine volcano in the southern Mariana Arc. It is large (25 km diameter base), shallow (up to 300 m below sealevel), and contains a large caldera (6 ¥ 10 km, with up to 1 km relief). The WRV lies near the northern termination of a major NNE-trending normal fault. This and a second, parallel fault just west of the volcano separate uplif...

The idea of delivering intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a multileaf collimator in a continuous dynamic mode during a single rotation of the gantry has recently gained momentum both in research and industry. In this note we investigate the potential of this Single-Arc IMRT technique at a conceptual level. We consider the original theoretical example case from Brahme et al that g...

PURPOSE Age-related cataract (ARC) is one of the most common causes of severe visual impairment among the elderly worldwide with four subtypes, such as cortical, nuclear, subcapsular, and mixed types. DNA damage and malfunction of DNA repair are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of ARC. This study examined the associations of 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in four DNA repair...

This paper studies a shape optimization problem which reduces to nonlocal free boundary involving perimeter. It is motivated by study of liquid crystal droplets with tangential anchoring condition and volume constraint. We establish in 2D the existence an optimal that has two cusps on boundary. also prove droplet chord–arc curve its normal vector field VMO space, arc-length parameterization bel...

DC series arc fault detection is essential for improving the productivity of photovoltaic (PV) stations. The also poses severe fire hazards to solar equipment and surrounding building. faults must be detected early provide reliable safe power delivery while preventing hazards. However, it challenging detect using conventional overcurrent current differential methods because these produce only m...

The neuropeptides orexins/hypocretins are essential for normal wakefulness and energy balance, and disruption of their function causes narcolepsy and obesity. Although much is known of the role of orexins in sleep/wake behavior, it remains unclear how they stimulate feeding and metabolism. One of the main targets of orexinergic neurons is the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, which pla...

A graph is arc-regular if its automorphism group acts sharply-transitively on the set of its ordered edges. This paper answers an open question about the existence of arc-regular 3-valent graphs of order 4m where m is an odd integer. Using the Gorenstein–Walter theorem, it is shown that any such graph must be a normal cover of a base graph, where the base graph has an arc-regular group of autom...

Burian proposed that a functional retinotopic remapping of the deviated eye on striate visual cortex may be the physiologic basis for the perceptual phenomenon of anomalous retinal correspondence (ARC) in human strabismus. This investigation searched for this type of retinotopic remapping in five esotropes and one exotrope with ARC by means of visual evoked potential (VEP) topographic mapping. ...

We consider the problem of estimating the correlation in bivariate normal data when the means and variances are assumed known, with emphasis on the small sample case. We consider eight different estimators, several of them considered here for the first time in the literature. In a simulation study, we found that Bayesian estimators using the uniform and arc-sine priors outperformed several empi...
