Abstract. We compare turbulence properties in coupled and decoupled marine stratocumulus-topped boundary layers (STBLs) using high-resolution situ measurements performed by the helicopter-borne Airborne Cloud Turbulence Observation System (ACTOS) platform region of eastern North Atlantic. The thermodynamically well-mixed STBL was characterized a comparable latent heat flux at surface cloud-top ...

We present a simple mathematical model giving a possible description of a partially coherent light beam exhibiting a flat-topped transverse intensity profile. Such a model allows us to deduce the modal distribution inside a multimode stable optical cavity, assuming that the modes are of the Hermite-Gauss type. The analytical expression used to represent flat-topped profiles is of the flattened ...

aim : the aim of the present study was to determine the species and genotypes of cryptosporidium spp. among children with diarrhea by pcr- rflp using the trap-c2 gene. background : cryptosporidium is a globally distributed protozoan parasite and one of the most common causes of infection and diarrhea in humans. patients and methods : four hundred and sixty nine stool samples were collected from...
