Recently, Jaekel and Reynaud proposed a gravitational mechanism for the Pioneer anomaly based on a metric linear extension of general relativity which would be able to explain the anomalous acceleration experienced by the Pioneer spacecraft without contradicting either the equivalence principle or what we know about the planetary motions. In this paper we perform an independent test of such an ...

[1] We conduct experiments with an ice-ocean model to answer the question whether and to what degree unusually clear skies during the summer of 2007 contributed to the record sea ice extent minimum in the Arctic Ocean during September of 2007. Anomalously high pressure over the Beaufort Sea during summer 2007 appears associated with a strong negative cloud anomaly. This anomaly is two standard ...

Recently, Jaekel and Reynaud put forth a metric linear extension of general relativity which, in the intentions of its proponents, would be able, among other things, to provide a gravitational mechanism for explaining the Pioneer anomaly without contradicting either the equivalence principle or what we know about the planetary motions. In this paper we perform an independent test of such an hyp...

OBJECTIVES - To understand how surgical interventions impact the organization and internal integration of the major components of the skull, we address the functional and developmental relationships during perinatal development. METHODS - A number of methods for quantifying modularity and integration of morphological data are available. Here, measures derived from three-dimensional computed tom...

The surface heat budget in the equatorial Pacific Ocean was investigated through ocean model simulations, both the climatological cycle and the case of the 1994–95 warm event. The dominant processes governing the seasonal cycle of sea surface temperature (SST) vary significantly across the basin. In the western Pacific the annual cycle of SST is primarily in response to net surface heat flux. I...

Floor-fractured craters are a class of lunar crater hypothesized to form in response to the emplacement of a shallow magmatic intrusion beneath the crater floor. The emplacement of a shallow magmatic body should result in a positive Bouguer anomaly relative to unaltered complex craters, a signal which is observed for the average Bouguer anomaly interior to the crater walls. We observe the Bougu...

background: routine use of assisted hatching (ah) following icsi is a controversial issue in the literature. there are rare studies regarding the effect of laser assisted hatching (lah) on live birth rate. objective: our main goal was to evaluate the effect of lah on delivery rate as well as congenital anomaly in patients undergoing their first icsi cycle. materials and methods: a total of 182 ...

The Earth's ionosphere introduces systematic effects that limit the performance of a radio interferometer at low frequencies ($\lesssim 1$\,GHz). These become more pronounced for severe geomagnetic activities or observations involving longer baselines interferometer. uGMRT, pathfinder Square Kilometre Array (SKA), is located in between northern crest Equatorial Ionisation Anomaly (EIA) and magn...

Ionospheric total electron content (TEC) of the equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA) is studied by analyzing dual-frequency signals of the Global Position System (GPS) acquired from a network of receivers around the AsianAustralian region during 1996–2004. The latitude, occurrence time, strength of the most developed EIA crest, and crest-to-trough ratio (CTR) for both the noon and post-sunset se...

Hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. This anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. Adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. A two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...
