This note is devoted to the study of the one dimensional interfacial coupling of two PDE systems at a given fixed interface, say x = 0. Each system is posed on a half-space, namely x < 0 and x > 0. As an interfacial model, a coupling condition whose objective is to enforce the continuity (in a weak sense) of a prescribed variable is imposed at x = 0. We focus on the coupling of two scalar conse...

It is commonly assumed that antibody responses against the influenza virus are polarized in the following manner: strong antibody responses are directed at highly variable antigenic epitopes, which consequently undergo 'antigenic drift', while weak antibody responses develop against conserved epitopes. As the highly variable epitopes are in a constant state of flux, current antibody-based vacci...

Abstract We present results of an effort to evaluate the ability analytic model describe behavior equatorial zonal plasma drifts given inputs provided by readily available climatological models thermospheric and ionospheric parameters. In a data-model fusion approach, we used vertical drift measurements drive its output. Drift were made Jicamarca incoherent scatter radar, evaluated for differen...

Abstract. Changes in Arctic sea ice thickness are the result of complex interactions dynamic and variable cover with atmosphere ocean. Most exiting Ocean does so through Fram Strait, which is why long-term measurements at end Transpolar Drift provide insight into integrated signals thermodynamic influences along pathways ice. We present an updated summer (July–August) time series extensive surv...

introduction: wind erosion is one of the most important factors in desert environments. prevailing winds can shift sand dunes and affect their accumulation and morphology. also, wind regime determines the direction of sand dune mobility in different ways. therefore, the wind regime, frequency, direction and velocity are supposed to be the most important factors to form the morphology of sand du...

a total of 2519 blood samples were collected from five distinct populations of larestan, in fars province, in iran (lar, gerash, khour, latifi and berake) were examined for abo and rh blood groups. the gene frequencies obtained from these samples were compared with the hitherto reported corresponding data from other populations of fars province to determine the genetic structure of the larestan...

Two-phase flows are frequently modelled and simulated using the Two-Fluid Model (TFM) Drift Flux (DFM). This paper proposes Stokes–Dirac structures with respect to which port-Hamiltonian representations for such two-phase flow models can be obtained. We introduce a non-quadratic candidate Hamiltonian function present dissipative both models. then use structure of corresponding formally skew-adj...

This paper presents a numerical study on the response of the unsaturated zone (UZ) system of Yucca Mountain to heat generated from decaying radioactive wastes emplaced at the proposed repository. The modeling study is based on the current thermal-hydrological (TH) mountain-scale model, which uses a locally refined 2D north-south cross-section and dual-permeability numerical approach. The model ...

Several years of daily microwave satellite ice-drift are combined with moored Upward Looking Sonar (ULS) ice-drafts into an ice volume flux record at points along a flux gate across the Weddell Sea, Antarctica. Monthly ice transport varies at the mooring locations from a maximum export of 0.4 m s near Joinville Island to -0.4 ms imported along the Fimbul and Riiser Larsen ice shelf margins. Win...
