Stellar RV jitter due to surface activity may bias the semi-amplitude and mass of rocky planets. The amplitude be estimated from uncertainty in rotation period, allowing more accurately obtained. We find candidate periods for 17 out 35 TESS Objects Interest (TOI) hosting <3 R_Earth planets as part Magellan-TESS Survey, which is first-ever statistically robust study exoplanet masses radii across...

Lingual propulsion during swallowing is characterized by the sequential elevation of the anterior, middle, and dorsal regions of the tongue. Although lingual discoordination underlies many swallowing disorders, the coordinative organization of lingual propulsion during the typical and disordered swallow is poorly understood. The purpose of this investigation was to quantitatively describe the c...

Linux has several mechanisms for relaying information about the system and applications to the user. Some examples include printk and other sys-log events, evlog, ltt, oproole, etc. Each subsystem has its own method for relaying information from the kernel to user space. Some of these mechanisms have diiculties, e.g. logging of printk messages is unreliable. In addition to selected diiculties, ...

The derivation and characterization of a neuroattenuated reassortant clone (RFC 25/B.5) of California serogroup bunyavirus was described previously (M. J. Endres, A. Valsamakis, F. Gonzalez-Scarano, and N. Nathanson, J. Virol. 64:1927-1933, 1990). To map the RNA segment responsible for this attenuation, a panel of reassortants was constructed between the attenuated clone B.5 (genotype TLL) and ...

Linux currently plays an important role in high-end computing systems, but recent work has shown that Linux-related processing costs and variablity in network processing times can limit the scalability of HPC applications. Measuring and understanding these overheads is thus key for future use of Linux in large scale HPC systems. Unfortunately, currently available performance monitoring systems ...

A new method for grassland vegetation dynamics monitoring was developed based on the linear time trends (LTT) estimation and change vector analysis (CVA) using SPOT-VGT imagery. Firstly, seasonally integrated normalized difference vegetation index (SINDVI) was calculated by using 10-day NDVI. Then by evaluating spatially averaged SINDVI of vegetated areas, the apparent change periods were ident...

Soil erosion poses economic and environmental concerns in many tropical uplands. Agroforestry has been proposed as a sustainable land use that can mitigate soil erosion and promote the economic welfare of small farmers. To evaluate such claims, we must (a) develop a composite measure of effectiveness, such as a soil conservation index, and (b) define it in terms understood by the farmers who ul...

We investigate with experiments the twist induced transverse buckling instabilities of an elastic sheet of length L, width W , and thickness t, that is clamped at two opposite ends while held under a tension T . Above a critical tension Tλ and critical twist angle ηtr, we find that the sheet buckles with a mode number n ≥ 1 transverse to the axis of twist. Three distinct buckling regimes charac...
