The continuous data from the YL array and four AU stations during lifetime of cyclone TOMAS in March 2010 were downloaded IRIS. By performing frequency-wave number (F-K) analysis on data, it was found that orientation maximum energy secondary microseisms (0.1~0.5 Hz) consistent with movement when central wind speed reached typhoon level. high could generate as well swell. However, large global ...

background: both increased arterial stiffness and hyperuricaemia are associated with elevated cardiovascular risks. little is known about the relations of serum uric acid (ua) level to regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection. the aim of the study was to investigate the gender-specific association of serum ua and indices of arterial function in a community-based investigation in china. m...

Idealised global circulation model simulations with circumpolar and localised (one and two) storm tracks are re-analysed to determine scaling, intermittency and phase-space structures. In a hundred year experiment with a circumpolar storm track, the spectrum S(f ) of the first principal component of the zonal wind fluctuations shows the following power law regimes: (a) a short-term memory betwe...

Peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an inclined planar asymmetric channel is studied. The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The closed form solutions of momentum and energy equation in presence of viscous dissipation term are obtained for long wave length and low Reynol...

an important factor in the growth medium of plants and chemical plants. native substrates can be used to improve plant performance. to evaluate the effect of growth medium on the herb f. benjamina experimental design was completely randomized with eight treatments and four replications were carried out in the research greenhouse of islamic azad university of jiroft. f. benjamina  plants from ve...

In this paper the combinatorial problem of determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system is considered. For the cases where k = 2, 3 the explicit formulae are given and for k ≥ 4 a recursive relation is obtained. Direct computation for determining the number of minimal path sets of a consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system for k ≥ 4 remains a difficult task. ...

Since space charge waves on a particle beam exhibit both dispersive and nonlinear character, solitary waves or solitons are possible. Dispersive, nonlinear wave propagation in high current beams is found to be similar to ion-acoustic waves in plasmas with an analogy between Debye screening and beam pipe shielding. Exact longitudinal solitary wave propagation is found for potentials associated w...

Methods. After spinal anaesthesia, sedation was achieved using a propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) system to achieve a score of 4 on the Wilson sedation scale. The excitability of spinal motor neurones was determined by measuring the left median nerve F wave. F-wave persistence and the F/M ratio were recorded at pre-sedation as the control, during sedation, at arousal by mild physical s...
