A new 10 year surface mass balance (SMB) record of Hurd and Johnsons Glaciers, Livingston Island, Antarctica, is presented and compared with earlier estimates on the basis of local and regional meteorological conditions and trends. Since Johnsons is a tidewater glacier, we also include a calving flux calculation to estimate its total mass balance. The average annual SMB over the 10 year observa...

New legislation affecting the various programs is summarized in the first part of the article; some of the...

We studied the effect of nearest pattern interaction on a global pattern formation in a two-dimensional space, where patterns are to grow initially from a noise in the presence of a periodic supply of energy. Although our approach is general, we found that this study is relevant in particular to the pattern formation on a periodically vibrated granular layer, as it gives a unified perspective o...

Schistosomal cor pulmonale is common in Egypt where schistosomiasis is endemic (Day, 1937; Shaw and Ghareeb, 1938; Bedford, Aidaros, and Girgis, 1946; Erfan et al., 1949; Kenawy, 1950; Girgis, 1952; Farid et al., 1959). It is also well known in South America, particularly in Brazil (Lopes de Faria et al., 1957; Cavalcanti et al., 1962), and in Puerto Rico (Clark and Graef, 1935; Marchand et al....
