in the current attempt, the relation between precipitation change in southern coasts of iran and sea level pressure data of ncep / ncar database were investigated through correlation method using environment to circulation approach in the period of 1960-2004. after calculating the correlation matrix between the percipitation amount and pressure, the precipitation-pressure correlation map for ea...

The Serious Leisure Perspective (SLP) divides leisure activity into three forms: serious, casual and project-based, each with a number of distinguishing qualities, rewards, costs benefits. It is presented by its creator, Robert Stebbins, as both classification system theoretical framework. In early history, it was seen micro-level, or at most meso-level, construct concerned the behaviour indivi...

PURPOSE To evaluate changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness as measured by scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) after the use of medication to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous or ocular hypertensive patients. METHODS The authors prospectively enrolled 37 eyes of 37 patients in whom IOP was reduced by more than 25% after the use of medication. The images were obtained befor...

Using the self-organizing maps (SOM) method, we ranked and compared simulation results of atmospheric circulation precipitation for 32 global climate models (GCMs) in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) over China, found that ranking GCM’s ability to simulate frequency sea level pressure (SLP) weather patterns (WPs) was not correlated with its annual WPs. Then, attributed diff...

The study of ocean bottom pressure (OBP) is useful for understanding the variability that contributes to sea level change. Previous studies have reported strong OBP anomalies in Southern Ocean on different timescales. In this study, characteristic and mechanisms energetic interannual southeastern Pacific are examined using 14 years Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) data. It found posi...

The proposed study employs a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network (NN) to forecast monthly rainfall in the Barak river basin northeastern region of India for prediction horizon up 4 months advance. Out nine significant climate variables, sea surface temperature (SST), level pressure (SLP), Nino 3.4 index, Indian summer monsoon (ISMR) anomalies and dipole mode index (DMI) were identified...

Mitochondria translate the RNAs for 13 core polypeptides of respiratory chain and ATP synthase complexes that are essential for the assembly and function of these complexes. This process occurs in close proximity to the mitochondrial inner membrane. However, the mechanisms and molecular machinery involved in mitochondrial translation are not fully understood, and defects in this process can res...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study investigated financial and treatment implications of a speech-language pathologist (SLP) performing a voice evaluation at the initial laryngologic visit. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Medical records from 75 consecutive adult voice therapy patients during a 3-month period were categorized into two groups: group 1 (n = 37) represented patie...

25 The skills of 11 coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models (CGCMs) are 26 investigated in the prediction of seasonal rainfall and circulation anomalies over the Northwest 27 (NW) Pacific for the period 1980-2001, with a focus on the summer following the mature phase 28 of El Niño [hereafter JJA(1)]. It is shown that the first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) 29 mode of sea level...

This paper describes how to measure the plasma temperature and density using laser Thomson scattering signal. Electron energy probability functions (EEPFs) having a fine resolution of electron energy were measured in low-pressure inductively coupled plasma with laser Thomson scattering method (LTS) at various plasma conditions (rf powers and gas pressures) and compared with the EEPFs measured b...
