The integration and coordination of different emergency service personnel is crucial to Crisis Management. Crisis centers create plans of action to deal with the various situations that arise during an event. These plans require different personnel with different expertise to execute them within a given set of constraints. In this paper, we show that such plans can be represented as workflows, ...

the present research article highlights the metal (cd, cu, pb, zn and fe)distribution pattern in the rspm generated in different hot spot sites located at kochi, thequeen of arabian sea. these sampling sites are categorized under three different zonesas estuarine, riverine, and coastal. two sampling phases are selected in order to check theconsistency in pollution trend after a two year gap and...

We present a novel technique based on an ensemble of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to perform Magnetic Current Imaging (MCI) on an Integrated Circuit (IC). NV centers in diamond allow measuring the three components of the magnetic field generated by a mA range current in an IC structure over a field of with sub-micron resolution. Vector measurements allow using a more robust algorith...

Poor atmospheric health has been causing millions of deaths globally by attacking the respiratory system. According to World Health Organization, India most heavily polluted cities overall and contributes significantly annual particle concentration at a global level. This situation demands intensive extensive monitoring systems for strategy optimization various levels governance combat environm...

Satellite Application Department Environmental Prediction Research Facility Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California 23240 This report describes continuing research to develop automatic methods for measuring cloud motions from digital brightness data obtained by geosynchronous satellite A series of computer programs are described that register successive pictures using landmarks, normaliz...

Skilful and reliable precipitation data are essential for seasonal hydrologic forecasting and generation of hydrological data. Although output from dynamic downscaling methods is used for hydrological application, the existence of systematic errors in dynamically downscaled data adversely affects the skill of hydrologic forecasting. This study evaluates the precipitation data derived by dynamic...

Today, most Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) centers are assimilating cloud-free radiances. Radiances from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder have been directly assimilated in NWP models with modest positive impacts. However, since only 5% percentage of AIRS fields of view (fovs) are cloud-free, only very small amounts of the data in the lower troposphere are assimilated. (Note that channels in...

The exact mechanism of information transfer between different brain regions is still not known. The theory of binding tries to explain how different aspects of perception or motor action combine in the brain to form a unitary experience. The theory presumes that there is no specific center in the brain that would gather the information from all the other brain centers, governing senses, motion,...
