Due to power and I/O constraints associated with extreme scale scientific simulations, in situ visualization and analysis to will become a critical component to scientific discovery. The options for extreme scale visualization and analysis are often presented as a stark contrast: write files to disk for interactive, exploratory analysis, or perform in situ analysis to save data products about p...

When we design weather-forecasting and climate models we have to average over (‘parametrize’) smaller scales of the atmospheric flow. Our parametrizations are generally based on our understanding of idealizations, typically the assumption that the smaller-scales are horizontally homogeneous and in steady-state (equilibrium). The resulting parametrization thus produces horizontally homogeneous s...

A simple experiment for measuring bar longitudinal and flexural vibration frequencies Am. The theory of musical scales involves mathematical ratios, harmonic resonators, beats, and human perception and provides an interesting application of the physics of waves and sound. We first review the history and physics of musical scales, with an emphasis on four historically important scales: twelve-to...

Abstract. In recent years, different scales have been developed to assess individual differences in dispositional greed. We report two studies ( N 1 = 300, 2 1,000) on the comparative psychometric properties of these scales. find that all are reliable and they correlate highly, suggesting can be used Exploratory factor analyses, using Empirical Kaiser Criterion, Hull method, Parallel Analysis a...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to estimate the minimum important difference (MID) for the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI), the Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI) scale of the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory, the Colorectal-Anal Impact Questionnaire (CRAIQ) scale of the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire, and the Modified Manchester Health Questionnaire (MMHQ).

Climate plays an important role in determining the geographic ranges of species. With rapid climate change expected in the coming decades, ecologists have predicted that species ranges will shift large distances in elevation and latitude. However, most range shift assessments are based on coarse-scale climate models that ignore fine-scale heterogeneity and could fail to capture important range ...
