[1] In this study, we estimate a time series of geocenter anomalies from a combination of data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission and the output from oceanmodels. Amatrix equation is derived relating total geocenter variations to the GRACE coefficients of degrees two and higher and to the oceanic component of the degree one coefficients. We estimate the o...

BACKGROUND Innovative technologies that enable the collection of family history information and the assessment of breast cancer risk have a potential to enhance the quality of preventive care. We developed a computerized tool that supports stratification of breast cancer risk, genetic risk assessment in the clinical environment (GRACE). METHODS In a preliminary evaluation of the tool's impact...

Abstract Does God trust human persons? Very little in philosophy of religion has been written about God's trust, which seems striking for two joint considerations. First, many the Abrahamic faith traditions posit that union and close personal relationship with is telos life. Second, to be an essential element ideal, relationships between persons. While there much literature emphasizes role on s...

[1] Satellite gravity measurements from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) provide new quantitative measures of the 2005 extreme drought event in the Amazon river basin, regarded as the worst in over a century. GRACE measures a significant decrease in terrestrial water storage (TWS) in the central Amazon basin in the summer of 2005, relative to the average of the 5 other summer...

The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) delivers monthly gravity fields since it was launched in March 2002, which provides a new way to monitor the groundwater storage variations for large regions. In this study, we attempt to apply the GRACE data combined with estimated soil moisture based on the water balance approach to estimate monthly groundwater changes in the western Kansas ...

since the word “treasuries” has been mentioned in the koran and hadiths, scholars of the interpretation of the koran and hadiths as well as theologians, philosophers and gnostics have discussed it from several aspects. in this paper, we first interpret it literally, formulating the scholars’ opinions about it; then, we develop the discussion to the “key of treasury” and “treasurers”; finally,  ...

desires of saving souls’ (p. 87). Personal assurance was deemed to be essential and those who denied it were accused of Arminianism, yet preachers strove to undermine it, for fear of laxity creeping in. Robert Baillie prescribed ‘a diligent effort “to make our personall Election sure” ’ (p. 99). On the one hand, divine grace is irresistible, but on the other the preacher demands effort from the...
