Recent developments in urban drainage modelling allow for a more realistic coupling of the two-dimensional (2D) surface and one-dimensional (1D) sub-surface drainage domain exchanging water through storm drain inlets instead of a sub-catchment approach based on manholes. Experience has shown, however, that comprehensive records of storm drain inlet locations are often missing or incomplete, pre...

Abstract It has been argued that the −5 °C annual mean 2 m air temperature isotherm defines a limit of ice shelf viability on Antarctic Peninsula as melt ponding increases at higher temperatures. is, however, presently unknown whether this threshold can also be applied to other shelves. Here we use two present-day and three future high-resolution climate simulations predict warming thresholds f...

First, a quick review of intervals. We define the following four cases: • The closed interval [a, b] = {t : a ≤ t ≤ b}; The half-open interval (a, b] = {t : a < t ≤ b}; • The half-open interval [a, b) = {t : a ≤ t < b}; The open interval (a, b) = {t : a < t < b}. If a or b is ±∞, use a half-open or open interval. Never write (even implicitly) “t = ∞”–this is uncouth! Now let x(t) be a continuou...

Correction for 'Phase stability in nanoscale material systems: extension from bulk phase diagrams' by Saurabh Bajaj et al., Nanoscale, 2015, 7, 9868-9877.

Despite the acknowledged clinical usefulness of nasal CPAP, uncertainties regarding aspects of its application remain. Clinical indications for the application of nasal CPAP vary greatly between institutions. Furthermore, defining the optimal nasal CPAP system is complicated by the multiplicity of nasal CPAP devices and techniques available to the clinician. This review aims to identify what we...

The collection and interpretation of temporal data in the cardiovascular domain is particularly important because the temporal characteristics of symptoms can provide important clues to the appropriate diagnosis. It is challenging because findings may be single events, continuous states, episodic events, or a progression described by more than one finding. This paper relates the nature of the p...

X-ray reflectivity measurements of the binary liquid Ga-Bi alloy reveal a dramatically different surface structure above and below the monotectic temperature T(mono) = 222 degrees C. A Gibbs-adsorbed Bi monolayer resides at the surface in both regimes. However, a 30 A thick, Bi-rich wetting film intrudes between the Bi monolayer and the Ga-rich bulk for T>T(mono). The wetting film's internal st...

We provide an experimental demonstration of novel form-birefringent computer-generated holograms at wavelengths of 1.55 and 10.6 microm. These novel devices utilize a 2-D array of cells that can be fabricated with a single lithographic step. Each cell contains a subwavelength binary grating whose orientation controls the desired continuous phase profile within the cell.

We study the asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries and derive the exact form of the joint probability function for the occupation number and the current through the system. We further consider the thermodynamic limit, showing that the resulting distribution is non-Gaussian and that the density fluctuations have a discontinuity at the continuous phase transition, while the cur...
