Comparisons of satellite temperature profile products from GPS radio occultation (RO) and hyperspectral infrared (IR)/microwave (MW) sounders are made using a previously developed matchup technique. The profile matchup technique matches GPS RO and IR/MW sounder profiles temporally, within 1 h, and spatially, taking into account the unique RO profile geometry and theoretical spatial resolution b...

Measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of properties of the large-scale circulation (LSC) for turbulent Rayleigh–Bénard convection are presented in the presence of rotation about a vertical axis at angular speeds 0 Ω <∼ 2 rad s−1. The sample chamber was cylindrical with a height equal to the diameter, and the fluid contained in it was water. The LSC was studied by measuring sidewall temperat...

Ro 23-9424 is a dual-action cephalosporin with an aminothiazolylmethoxyimino-type side chain at the 7 position and fleroxacin esterified at the 3' position. The new compound has broad and potent antibacterial activity in vitro and in vivo, reflecting contributions from both the beta-lactam moiety and the quinolone moiety. In animals, the ester bond potentially could be hydrolyzed enzymatically ...

The objective of this work was to apply a hybrid process, including electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and reverse osmosis (RO) to the treatment of petrochemical wastewater in order to obtain process water for reuse. A water balance was carried out to defne the main water consumers and the process step that could receive the produced water. Additionally, toxicity assays wer...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an emerging technology employed in some crucial applications. However, limited resources and physical exposure to attackers make security a challenging issue for a WSN. Ring oscillator-based physical unclonable function (RO PUF) is a potential option to protect the security of sensor nodes because it is able to generate random responses efficiently for a key ...

The economics membrane distillation (MD) and common seawater desalination methods including multi effect distillation (MED), multistage flash (MSF) and reverse osmosis (RO) are compared. MD also has the opportunity to enhance RO recovery, demonstrated experimentally on RO concentrate from groundwater. MD concentrated RO brine to 361,000 mg/L total dissolved solids, an order of magnitude more sa...

SUZUKI, H. Effects of a Benzodiazepine Antagonist, Ro 15-1788, on Hippocampal Field Potentials in Freely Moving Rats. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1991, 165 (4), 261-270 Effects of a benzodiazepine receptor agonist (diazepam) and an antagonist (Ro 15-1788, flumazenil) administered separately or in combination on field potentials recorded from the hippocampal dentate area were examined in unanesthetized...

Tuber shape in potato is commonly regarded as displaying continuous variation, yet at the diploid level phenotypes can be discerned visually, having round or long tubers. Inheritance of qualitative tuber shape can be explained by a single locus Ro, round being dominant to long. With restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) the Ro locus was mapped on chromosome 10. Tuber shape was also ...
