The availability of near-real time ozone observations from satellite instruments has recently initiated the development of ozone data assimilation systems. In this paper we present the results of an ozone assimilation and forecasting system, in use since Autumn 2000. The forecasts are produced by an ozone transport and chemistry model, 5 driven by the operational medium range forecasts of ECMWF...

In Korea, the development of 4G mobile system technologies is very actively carried on. The activities of 4G development in Korea will be introduced in this paper. In the first part, the current status of preparing the commercial WiBro service will be presented. The WiBro Service (Portable Internet Service for 2.3GHz), as the low mobility data service, has been defined as a pre-4G service and t...

background. efficient canal preparation is the key to successful root canal treatment. this study aimed to assess the cleaning and shaping ability, preparation time and file deformation of rotary, reciprocating and manual instrumentation in canal preparation of primary molars. methods. the mesiobuccal canals of 64 extracted primary mandibular second molars were injected with india ink. the samp...

objective: one of the major problems of all ceramic restorations is their probable fracture against the occlusal force. the aim of the present in-vitro study is was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (chamfer & shoulder) on the fracture resistance of zirconia copings, cercon (cad/cam). materials and methods : this in vitro study was done with single blind experimental technique. one ...

introduction: radiolabeled antibiotics are being used for the specific diagnosis of infection by exploiting their specific binding properties to the bacterial components, thereby making it possible to differentiate infection from sterile lesions. the aim of this work was to prepare and evaluate a freeze-dried kit of ciprofloxacin designed for the labeling with 99mtc. methods: factors like amou...

introduction: full crown preparation may have adverse effects on pulp tissue. in this study, the effect of full-crown preparation on intact versus inflamed pulp tissue was studied. methods: fifteen healthy mature cats were randomly selected for this study. the study was performed on four canine teeth of each cat. cats were anesthetized and then radiographs were taken from the canine teeth. clas...

production of fe-c alloy powders by mechanical alloying was studied. fe and graphite elemental powdermixtures containing 0.8 and 1.5wt.% graphite were mechanically alloyed using a planetary ball mill. thestructural changes of powder particles during mechanical alloying were studied by x-ray diffractometery,scanning electron microscopy and microhardness measurements. for both compositions, mecha...

Inverse models are developed that use data and dynamics to estimate optimally the breaking-wave-driven setup and alongshore current, as well as the cross-shore forcing, alongshore forcing, and drag coefficient. The inverse models accurately reproduce these quantities in a synthetic barred-beach example. The method is applied to one case example each from the Duck94 and SandyDuck field experimen...
