News materials are reports on events occurring in a given time and location. Looking at the influence of individual event, an event that has news reported worldwide is strategically more important than one that is only covered by local news agencies. In fact, news coverage of an event can accurately determine the event’s importance and potential impact on the society. In this paper, we present ...

We tested different pheromone-baited traps for surveying winter moth, Operophtera brumata (L.) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), populations in eastern North America. We compared male catch at Pherocon 1C sticky traps with various large capacity traps and showed that Universal Moth traps with white bottoms caught more winter moths than any other trap type. We ran the experiment on Cape Cod, MA, where...

We enumerate lattice paths in the planar integer lattice consisting of positively directed unit vertical and horizontal steps with respect to a specific elliptic weight function. The elliptic generating function of paths from a given starting point to a given end point evaluates to an elliptic generalization of the binomial coefficient. Convolution gives an identity equivalent to Frenkel and Tu...

The GOODS-North field centered around the historical Hubble Deep Field-North provides one of the richest multiwavelength datasets compiled, spanning radio to X-ray frequencies, for studying the formation and evolution of galaxies at high redshift. In particular, the unprecedented sensitivity of the Spitzer/GOODS 24μm observations allows an unbiased measure of dust-enshrouded star-formation and ...

the near field ground motions have a high amplitude pulse like at the beginning of the seismogram which are significantly influenced by the rupture mechanism and direction of rupture propagation. this type of ground motion cause higher demands for engineering structures and its response spectrum is dramatically different than far field spectra. tabriz is one of the ancient cities in azerbaijan ...

BACKGROUND Accurate risk prediction of coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) in North American children with Kawasaki disease remains a clinical challenge. We sought to determine the predictive utility of baseline coronary dimensions adjusted for body surface area (z scores) for future CAAs in Kawasaki disease and explored the extent to which addition of established Japanese risk scores to baseline ...

The third-integer coupling resonance at ν(x)-2ν(z)=ℓ, known as the Walkinshaw resonance, is important in high-power accelerators. We find that, when the betatron tunes ramp through a Walkinshaw resonance the fractional emittance growth (FEG) is a universal function of the effective resonance strength: G(1,-2,ℓ)√[ε(xi)]|Δ(ν(x)-2ν(z))/Δn|(-1/2), where G(1,-2,ℓ) is the resonance strength; ε(xi) an...
