Anewmethod that combines radar reflectivities from individualNextGenerationWeatherRadars (NEXRAD) into a three-dimensional composite with high horizontal and vertical resolution is used to estimate storm-top altitudes for the continental United States east of the RockyMountains. Echo-top altitudes are compared with the altitude of the lapse-rate tropopause calculated from the ERA-Interim reanal...

The NE2001 model for the free electron distribution of the Milky Way includes ad hoc electron “clumps” to reconcile line of sight observables with basic model predictions (Cordes et al. 2002). While MAGPIS (Multi-Array Galactic Plane Imaging Survey) is insensitive to emission from individual diffuse HII regions (ne ∼10 cm), by investigating the 20 cm maps we are able to verify their assumption ...

Information technology today is a complex area, in which new problems and challenges constantly arise and innovations emerge. The ability to incorporate an innovation in time or to solve a problem efficiently can mean competitive advantages for some firms. Being responsive in IT involves being alert, knowledgeable and prepared to face technical problems and to solve them in appropriate ways. In...

We define the notion of a weakly pointed tree, and characterize the amount of genericity necessary to prevent a uniformly branching tree being weakly pointed. We use these ideas to show there is no topological analogue of a measure-theoretic selection theorem of Graf and Mauldin. We consider some topological and recursion-theoretic questions motivated by the following measure-theoretic result o...

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta E C O N O M I C R E V I E W Fourth Quarter 2002 I n 2001 the venture capital industry experienced its biggest decline ever. According to the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), investments by venture capital firms in the fourth quarter of 2001 were at $7.1 billion. This amount was approximately a third of the level the year before, which was $20.9 billio...

RATIONALE On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center collapse created an enormous urban disaster site with high levels of airborne pollutants. First responders, rescue and recovery workers, and residents have since reported respiratory symptoms and developed pulmonary function abnormalities. OBJECTIVES To quantify respiratory health effects of World Trade Center exposure in the New York Ci...

Inner Mongolia is one of the main green production bases agricultural and animal husbandry products. Due to factors such as natural geographical location, drought occurs frequently in Mongolia. Based on MOD16 product method crop water stress index (CWSI) combined with multi-year precipitation temperature data, spatial temporal distribution characteristics major influencing from 2001 2017 were a...

This study examines the impact of nation’s legal system on corporate disclosures. However, this study breaks with prior research in two significant ways. First, this study extends prior research by analyzing differences in disclosure practices in Roman-Germanic Law nations of different origins within this legal family. Second, this study focuses on a single disclosure issue rather than general ...

The primary objective of the present study was to test whether agricultural chemical runoff was associated with in-stream genotoxicity in native fish. Using Sacramento sucker (Catostomus occidentalis), we combined field-caging experiments in an agriculturally dominated watershed with controlled laboratory exposures to field-collected water samples, and we coupled genotoxicity biomarker measurem...
