A bstnzct An airborne Ku-band scatterometer (NUSCAT) was used to measure ocean backscatters during the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (S WADE). The objective is to improve understanding of the relationship between ocean radar backscatter and near surface winds. BackScatter measurements are presented for Gulf-Stream boundary, low wind, and large wave effects. Over the boundary crossings, large...

In achieving success in global sourcing arrangements, the role of a cultural liaison, boundary spanner or transnational intermediary is frequently highlighted as being critical. This paper critiques, builds upon and synthesizes relevant streams of ideas in relation to boundary-spanning and cross-cultural management across a number of disciplines, and constructs a multi-layered creolization fram...

In this paper, vibration analysis of rotary tapered axially functionally graded (AFG) Timoshenko nanobeam is investigated in a thermal environment based on nonlocal theory. The governing equations of motion and the related boundary conditions are derived by means of Hamilton’s principle based on the first order shear deformation theory of beams. The solution method is considered using generaliz...

In this article free vibration of a Timoshenko nanobeam with variable cross-section is investigated using nonlocal elasticity theory within the scope of continuum mechanics. Small scale effects are modelled after Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory while the non-uniformity is presented by exponentially varying width through the beam length with constant thickness. Analytical solution is achiev...

In this article, the influence of hydrostatic stress and gravity on a clamped- free non homogeneous magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cross sections is studied using linear theory of elasticity. The equations of motion based on two-dimensional theory of elasticity are applied under the plane strain assumption of prestressed and gravitated magneto electro elastic plate of polygonal cros...

Discriminating between two speed signals is harder when they are seen as part of a single trajectory, compared to the case when they appear as distinct entities. Observers were asked to judge which half of a display had dots that were moving faster. This was done under two main conditions: when dot motion appeared to continue across the boundary between the two halves, and when it moved paralle...

In Dynamical Systems, Birkho gave a clear formulation of a cross section, suggested a possible generalization to cross sections with boundary, and raised the question of whether or not such cross sections exist in the three-body problem. In this work, we explicitly develop Birkho 's notion of a generalized cross section, formulate homological necessary conditions for the existence of a cross se...

Spanning boundaries has emerged as a key topic in the scholarship on distributed organizing. Nonetheless, most of the works are motivated by boundaries designated by static demarcations of time and/or place, while only recently there is some evidence emphasizing the dynamic aspects of boundaries and boundary spanning. Following the latter tradition, the present research attempts to examine the ...

A regional model is used to study the radiative effect of boundary layer clouds over the Southeast Pacific on large-scale atmosphere circulation during August–October in 1999. With the standard settings, the model simulates reasonably well the large-scale circulation over the eastern Pacific, precipitation in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) north of the equator, and marine boundary la...

in this paper, two inverse problems of stephen kind with local (dirichlet) boundary conditions are investigated. in the first problem only a part of boundary is unknown and in the second problem, the whole of boundary is unknown. for the both of problems, at first, analytic expressions for unknown boundary are presented, then by using these analytic expressions for unknown boundaries and bounda...
