Let (* ) u,, du + q(x, t) u = 0 in D x [0, T], where D c R3 is a bounded domain with a smooth boundary dD, T> d, d: =diam D, q(x, I) E C( [O, 2’1, L”(D)). Suppose that for every (**) ~I,+~=f(x, l)EC’(dDx [0, T]), the value u*,;,:= h(s, t) is known, where N is the outer normal to dD, u solves (* ) and ( ** ) and satisfies the initial conditions u = U, = 0 at I = 0. Then q(x, I) is uniquely deter...

There are well-known constructions of the exceptional simple Lie algebras of type E8 and F4 which go back to Witt [Wit41], as Z2-graded algebras g = g0̄⊕g1̄ with even part the orthogonal Lie algebras so16 and so9 respectively, and odd part given by their spin representations (see [Ada96]). Brown [Bro82] found a new simple finite dimensional Lie algebra over fields of characteristic 3 which presen...

Protein association networks can be inferred from a range of resources including experimental data, literature mining and computational predictions. These types of evidence are emerging for non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) as well. However, integration of ncRNAs into protein association networks is challenging due to data heterogeneity. Here, we present a database of ncRNA-RNA and ncRNA-protein interac...

The utility and shortcomings of near-real-time ocean surface vector wind retrievals from the NASA Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) in operational forecast and analysis activities at the National Hurricane Center (NHC) are described. The use of QuikSCAT data in tropical cyclone (TC) analysis and forecasting for center location/identification, intensity (maximum sustained wind) estimation, and anal...

[1] In this paper, we analyzed 3 years of carbon flux data from continuous eddy covariance measurements to investigate how soil moisture, rain pulses, and growth alter the response of ecosystem respiration to temperature. The data were acquired over an annual grassland and from the grass understory of an oak/grass savanna ecosystem in California. We observed that ecosystem respiration was an ex...

This study examines the radar-indicated structures and other features of extreme rain events in the United States over a 3-yr period. A rainfall event is defined as “extreme” when the 24-h precipitation total at one or more stations surpasses the 50-yr recurrence interval amount for that location. This definition yields 116 such cases from 1999 to 2001 in the area east of the Rocky Mountains, e...

Continuous measurements of soil respiration and its components help us understand diurnal and seasonal variations in soil respiration and its mechanism. We continuously measured CO2 concentration at various depths in the soil and calculated surface CO2 efflux based on CO2 gradients and diffusivity in a young ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. We determined s...

Observations from two enhanced sounding arrays during the May–June 1998 South China Sea Monsoon Experiment (SCSMEX) are used to determine and contrast the properties of convection over the northern and southern South China Sea (SCS). A regression analysis between SST data and monthly rainfall indicates that the ENSO signal exerted a strong influence on the rainfall distribution over the SCS dur...

Abstract With rapid urbanization in recent years, the frequency of extreme rainfall events has increased major cities around world during flood season, and social economic losses caused by heavy are becoming increasingly serious. The results show that (1) overall duration exhibits a downward trend, spatial performance gradually decreases from east to west. (2) mountainous areas prone light mode...
