Waves and sea ice form a closely coupled system: waves govern through stress, floe break-up, wave-induced currents, while affects attenuation reflection. Wave-induced break-up is particularly important as it can regulate air-sea interaction consequently also the growth melt of ice. This nature complex generally, especially at large scale, neglected in modeling polar climate system. Here, we exp...

BACKGROUND There is controversy about which outcome parameters should be employed to assess substance use treatment. Subjective measures of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) of opioid dependence are increasingly important. However, while patients' perspectives have been examined, the caregivers' views remain largely unknown. Here, we explore how physicians evaluate MAT, and which predictors a...

Some future telephone services will require that ongoing calls be interrupted briefly so that one of the parties can receive data transmitted over the voice path. For example, the new service Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW) will allow subscribers who are off-hook and engaged in conversation to receive data indicating the name and telephone number of a new caller, but the data transmission wil...

Mixing has long been recognized as having an important role in influencing underwater light and nutrient budgets and thus regulating phytoplankton bloom. Mixing related to stratification and destratification is a key parameter of the physical environment that can control the timing and magnitude of blooms. Here we use a high-resolution three-dimensional biogeochemical model in the Mid-Atlantic ...

We correct for missed breaks in Lim-Alder Extended Edges.

This contribution documents widespread trawling damage to cold-water coral reefs at 840-1300 m depth along the West Ireland continental shelf break and at 200 m off West Norway. These reefs are spectacular but poorly known. By-catches from commercial trawls for deep-water fish off West Ireland included large pieces (up to 1 m(2)) of coral that had been broken from reefs and a diverse array of c...

We have previously found [J. Eggers, M. A. Fontelos, D. Leppinen, and J. H. Snoeijer, Phys. Rev. Lett., 98 (2007), 094502] that the pinch-off of a gas bubble in an inviscid environment is controlled by scaling exponents which are slowly varying in time. To leading order, these results did not require the spatial profile of the interface near break-up. Here we refine our previous analysis by com...
