one of the most important atmospheric systems in the eurasian continent during the northern hemisphere winter season is the siberian high pressure. in this study, using the ncep/ncar reanalysis data for winters of 1948-2008, trend of changes in the intensity of the high system center and its effects on some meteorological fields are investigated. the results show that the 2m height mean tempera...

For a positive integer k, a graph G (V, E) is £k-magic if there exists a function, namely, a labeling, I : E(G) -+ £k such that the induced vertex set labeling [+ : V(G) £k, where [+(v) is the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex v is a constant map. The set of all positive integer k such that G is k-magic is denoted by IM(G). We call this set the integer-magic spectrum of G. I...

Temperature estimates obtained with various biotite-garnet thermometers are inconsistent in granulite facies rocks. Although the inconsistency lies partly in the lack of definition of equilibrium criteria, it still remains after rigorous selection of analyzed mineral pairs (isolated biotite and garnet cores for peak equilibrium conditions) and originate from minor element effects in garnet and ...

The new technique ‘Multi-Intensity-Layer PIV’ was applied to a gas turbine combustor to detect the instantaneous droplet distribution and its behavior. Mie scattering theory is applied to the conventional Particle Image Velocimetry and the technique enables us to detect the instantaneous planar droplet velocity and size information. This M-PIV technique was evaluated with a generally used indus...

In an effort to develop an alternative to methyl bromide-dependant strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) field production in north-central Florida, we evaluated various soilless substrates, growing containers, plug transplants, plant densities, cultivars, and biological control strategies in a passively ventilated high-roof greenhouse near Gainesville, Florida. The type of soilless media used ...
