A new and distinctly interdecadal signal in the climate of the Pacific Ocean has been uncovered by examining the coupled behavior of sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation. This interdecadal Pacific signal (IPS) of ocean–atmosphere interaction exhibits a highly statistically significant interdecadal component yet contains little to no interannual (El Niñ...

abstract background: processes such as drying, sauce making, extracting and doping reduced nutritional value and unique sensory characteristics of pomegranate. on the other hand, the difficulty in peeling and removing the arils has limited its fresh consumption. for this reason, the “ready-to-eat” pomegranate may represent a possible option to implement fresh fruit consumption. in this study, t...

Please cite this article in press as: Karapanos, E. Comput. (2012), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.intc With the increasing sophistication of mobile computing, a growing interest has been paid to locative media that aim at providing immersive experiences. Location aware narratives are a particular kind of locative media that aim at ‘‘telling stories that unfold in real space’’. This paper presents...

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model can be used to diagnose regional land-atmosphere (L-A) coupling strength in the absence of sufficient observations but subjected uncertainties associated with physical parameterizations. In this study, we propose a framework quantify reduce parameterization surface fluxes L-A coupling. An ensemble WRF simulations different schemes is simulate ove...

This study provides feedback from research with staff and clients of a medium secure learning disability service in north-west England. Participants were asked about incidents which required the use of physical intervention, using unstructured interviews within a participatory research framework. The article explores clients' and staff accounts of aggressive incidents and the consequences of ph...

The atmospheres of cool, helium-rich white dwarfs constitute an exotic and poorly explored physical regime of stellar atmospheres. Under physical conditions where the temperature varies from 1000K to 10000K, the density can reach values as large as 2 g/cm, and the pressure is as high as 1 Mbar, the atmosphere is no longer an ideal gas and must be treated as a dense fluid. Helium atoms become st...

[1] We introduce new vector diffractive integrals, which can be used for the radio holographic remote sensing of the atmosphere and terrestrial surfaces. These integrals are exact relationships connecting the electromagnetic fields known at some interface or curve in space with radio fields on the terrestrial surface or inside the atmosphere. They allow one to restore the radio image of the atm...
