Global average sea surface temperature (SST) from 40øS to 60øN fluctuates ñ0.3øC on interannual period scales, with global warming (cooling) during E1 Nifio (La Nifia). About 90% of the global warming during E1 Nifio occurs in the tropical global ocean from 20øS to 20øN, half because of large SST anomalies in the tropical Pacific associated with E1 Nifio and the other half because of warm SST a...

The main aim of this study is to characterize new classes of multicone graphs which are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let C and K w denote the Clebsch graph and a complete graph on w vertices, respectively. In this paper, we show that the multicone graphs K w ▽C are determined by their signless ...

Understanding diurnal warming is important for satellite sea surface temperature (SST) validation and data merging. For coastal region, it also helps to predict coral reef bleaching. This study summarizes one of the first comprehensive coastal diurnal warming studies using an integrated approach including in-situ and satellite data analysis, as well as modeling. First, two in-situ datasets at t...

Sodium butyrate (SB) is used as an acidifier in animal feed. We hypothesized that supplemental SB impacts gastric morphology and function, depending on the period of SB provision. The effect of SB on the oxyntic and pyloric mucosa was studied in 4 groups of 8 pigs, each supplemented with SB either during the suckling period (d 4-28 of age), after weaning (d 29 to 39-40 of age) or both, or never...

Velocity data from an array of acoustic Doppler current profilers moored about 0 , 140 W from May 1990 through June 1991 during the Tropical Instability Wave Experiment are used in conjunction with Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean array data and a blended sea surface temperature (SST) product to study the processes that control SST variations. The horizontal velocity data allow us to calculate the ver...

We have developed an algorithm, called SST (Sequence Search Tree), that searches a database of DNA sequences for near exact matches, in time proportional to the logarithm of the database size n. In SST, we partition each sequence into fragments of xed length called \windows" using multiple o sets. Each window is mapped into a vector of dimension 4 which contains the frequency of occurrence of i...

Numerical simulations have been undertaken for the benchmark problem in a Square cavity by using computational fluid dynamics software. This work aims at discussing the fundamental numerical and computational fluid dynamic aspects which can lead to the definition of the following meshing methods and turbulence models. The meshes used for the simulation are hexahedral, hexahedral cell with near ...
