In the present work WRF model is used to generate meteorological fields for the HYSPLIT dispersion model. Sensitivity and validation of the WRF model, is conducted by utilizing different combinations of physical parameterization schemes. For this purpose, eight different configurations are examined. Assessment of the predictions of the WRF model is carried out by computing the statistical param...

A list of 705 new Northern Celestial Hemisphere common proper motion pairs as derived from the Second U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog is presented, along with details of their separation, motion, brightness and colour. Objects of particular interest are noted, and the use of the catalogue for such work gauged.

Hundreds of modeling methods are in existence today. Yet practitioners and researchers are zealously “producing” new modeling methods. The “blooming” of modeling methods is not the problem; the lack of standardize techniques for evaluating them is. To further complicate the matter, most of the modeling methods are introduced based on common sense and intuition. Theoretical foundations and empir...

Neuronal activities often exhibit rythmic patterns, with a frequency that changes from one band to another. These oscillations can be reproduced in network models of coupled inhibitors. However, the mechanism that controls the period of the oscillations is not fully understood. Recent studies have shown that various types of inhibitory interneurons may release transmitters synchronously or asyn...

We have measured gluon splitting into bottom quarks, g → bb̄, in hadronic Z0 decays collected by SLD between 1996 and 1998. The analysis was performed by looking for secondary bottom production in 4-jet events of any primary flavor. 4-jet events were identified, and in each event a topological vertex-mass technique was applied to the two jets closest in angle in order to identify them as b or b ...

Complex patterns generated by the time evolution of a one-dimensional digitalized coupled map lattice are quantitatively analyzed. A method for discerning complexity among the different patterns is implemented. The quantitative results indicate two zones in parameter space where the dynamics shows the most complex patterns. These zones are located on the two edges of an absorbent region where t...

This paper addresses the question of sufficient breadth and depth for undergraduate engineering curriculum in the area of microelectronics, based on input from an industrial panel. This panel was formed as part of a NSF Course and Curriculum Development (CCD) grant to help define the appropriate mix between specific skills, fundamentals, and exposure to current technology. Their input calls for...
