Many recent studies have been devoted to the investigation of the nonlinear dynamics of rainfall or streamflow series based on methods of dynamical systems theory. Although finding evidence for the existence of a low-dimensional deterministic component in rainfall or streamflow is of much interest, not much attention has been paid to the nonlinear dependencies of the two and especially on how t...

H and geomorphology are important determinants of the structure and function of fluvial ecosystems. Streamflow quantity and timing are often viewed as “master variables” limiting the distribution and abundance of riverine species (Poff et al. 1997) and the flux of nutrients into streams (Grimm 1987, Welter et al. 2005). Geomorphic structure—particularly channel form—is known to influence commun...

In this article I would present evidence to show that timing of the flow of neural signals within the ventral visual stream is a crucial part of the neural code for categorization of faces. We recorded the activity of 554 inferotemporal neurons from two macaque monkeys performing a fixation task. More than 1000 object images including human and non-primate animal faces were presented up to 10 t...

Introduction: In May 2008 the Phoenix Lander descended into the north polar region of Mars. It landed at 68.22 N, 234.25 E in a shallow valley about 20 km west of a 10 km crater named Heimdall. Phoenix imaged local geomorphology, determined local ice table depth and analyzed 19 soil samples from within a ~15 m 2 work volume. Important to
