Debris flow hazard and risk assessments are critical tools in mitigating planning for these events. Existing debris can provide a rapid view of the likelihood flows recently burned watersheds along stream segments within watershed. Furthermore, volumes be predicted segments. Advances modeling remote-sensing data add further value to assessments. Here, modeled more detailed understanding rainfal...

In this paper we analyze a time series measuring the monthly flow of US tourists to Israel over the period 1997-2006. We pay particular attention to the response of tourists to variations in the intensity the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, drawing a distinction between actual conflict intensity and the intensity with which the conflict is reported in the US television media. We find that differe...

It is well known that any viscous fluid flow near a corner consists of infinite series of eddies with decreasing size and intensity, unless the angle is larger than a certain critical angle [28]. The objective of the current work is to simulate such infinite series of eddies occurring in steady flows in domains with corners. The problem is approached by high-order finite element method with exp...

Fluctuations in the number of particles (or droplets and bubbles) are observed in experiments of multiphase flows, and these also manifest as fluctuations of the dispersed–phase volume fraction. The intensity of these fluctuations is characterized using a mathematical description based on second–order statistics. The intensity and range of fluctuations in the clustering regime of a granular gas...

[Purpose] Occlusion training with low-intensity resistance exercises and blood flow restriction increases muscle cross-sectional area and strength. This form of training is used in rehabilitation; therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of one occlusion training session on the cardiovascular response to bouts of exercise. [Subjects and Methods] Two groups took part: a control...

A rapid-flow cytofluorometric susceptibility test for in vitro amphotericin B testing of yeasts was evaluated and compared to the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M27-T reference broth macrodilution method. The flow cytofluorometric method is based on the detection of decreased green fluorescence intensity of cells stained with DiOC5(3), a membrane potential-sensitiv...

Front propagation in two-dimensional steady and unsteady cellular flows is investigated in the limit of very fast reaction and sharp front, i.e., in the geometrical optics limit. For the steady flow, a simplified model allows for an analytical prediction of the front speed v f dependence on the stirring intensity U , which is in good agreement with numerical estimates. In particular, at large U...
