We present new coarse resolution (0.5× 0.5) vegetation height and vegetation-cover fraction data sets between 60 S and 60 N for use in climate models and ecological models. The data sets are derived from 2003–2009 measurements collected by the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), the only LiDAR instrument that provides close to global...

As x → ±∞, z = ±y tan( 1 2 α)+(n+ 1 2 )π sec( 1 2 α), respectively for integers n. Thus Scherk’s first surface connects two infinite sets of parallel planes at x = ±∞, equally spaced by π and rotated by an angle α with respect to each other. It has been used as a model for grain boundaries in diblock copolymers and smectic liquid crystals [2,3] where the multi-valued height function represents ...

exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. this paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...

This paper analyzes whether taller workers earn more then their shorter counterparts. Using GSOEP data from 1991 to 2002, earnings functions are estimated separately for male and female workers in both West and East German regions. The Hausman-Taylor IV estimator ist applied to account for unobservable heterogeneity including also timeinvariant indicators. The results do not suggest for an effe...

A quantitative comparison between the finite temperature behaviour of the staggered and Wilson fermion formulations are performed. The comparison is based on a physical quantity that is expected to be quite sensitive to the fermionic features of the action. For that purpose we use the height of the peak for dχ s /dT , where χ s is the quark number susceptibility.

The Slave craton in northern Canada is one of the world's smallest Archean cratons (surface exposure of 300,000 km), but makes up for this diminutive stature with excellent exposure and by hosting the oldest dated rocks on Earth (4.03 Ga, Stern and Bleeker 1998). It records continental accretion processes, albeit cryptically, and potentially offers the best opportunity worldwide to address the ...
