A Gaussian process emulator is applied to quantify the contributions of local and remote emissions of black carbon to its concentrations in different regions using a Latin hypercube sampling strategy for emission perturbations in the offline version of the Community Atmosphere Model Version 5.1 (CAM5) simulations. The source–receptor relationships are computed based on simulations constrained b...

To date, results show that incorporating social relationship data – beyond...

Within groups of interacting individuals, relationships are formed in accordance to predictions of homophily. However, group composition often dictates the kind of homophily found: choice homophily or induced homophily. In differentiated groups with evolving relationships, we can easily imagine interactions occurring by choice then eventually by an apparently random process due to the increasin...

we present in this paper, a context-driven search engine called XCD Search for answering XML Keyword-based queries as well as Loosely Structured queries, using a stack-based sort-merge algorithm. Most current research is focused on building relationships between data elements based solely on their labels and proximity to one another, while overlooking the contexts of the elements, which may lea...

A thermodynamic study of copper ions by jack bean urease (JBU) was carried out at two temperatures of 27 and 37?C in Tris buffer (30 mM; pH=7.0) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of twelve identical and non-interacting binding sites for copper ions. The intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 285 µM and ?15.2 kJ/mol at 27?C and 3...

STUDY QUESTION Compared with singletons, what is the parent mental health, parent-child and couple relationship satisfaction, and child adjustment of 6- to 12-year-old assisted reproduction technology (ART) twins and their families? SUMMARY ANSWER There are no differences between 6- and 12-year-old ART twin and singleton families in parent mental health or family relationships; however, twins...

The UV to soft X-rays of luminous AGNs dominate their bolometric luminosity, driven by an accretion-powered dynamo at the center. These photons ionize the surrounding gas, thereby providing clues to fueling and exhaust. Two sets of important relationships – neither of them understood – link the continuum and gas properties. (i) Boroson & Green’s ‘eigenvector 1’ relationships: Steeper soft X-ray...
