Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging of the central Rio Grande rift (New Mexico, USA) during 1992-1999 reveals a crustal uplift of several centimeters that spatially coincides with the seismologically determined outline of the Socorro magma body, one of the largest currently active magma intrusions in the Earth’s continental crust. Modeling of interferograms shows that the o...

To overcome many drawbacks in the current JPEG standard for sill image compression, a new standard, JPEG2000, is under development by International Standard Organization. The compact representation of integers is an important problem in areas such as data compression, especially where there is a nearly monotonic decrease in the likelihood of large integers. While describing many representation,...

Geostatistical simulations are used to perform a global sensitivity analysis on a model Y = f(X1 ... Xk) where one of the model inputs Xi is a continuous 2D-field. Geostatistics allow specifying uncertainty on Xi with a spatial covariance model and generating random realizations of Xi. These random realizations are used to propagate uncertainty through model f and estimate global sensitivity in...

Cosmic ray exposure ages for formation of perched alluvial terraces and for abandonment of an alluvial/debrisflow fan on opposite sides of the Tangtse Valley (the outflow at the northwest end of Lake Panggong, which is in the Karakorum Range of Western Tibet) provide evidence of a humid period at V11.5 to V7 ka. This is consistent with other regional records and supports a controversial chronol...

This paper focuses on determining total organic carbon (TOC) from boreholes in the Kalahari Basin, Botswana, using Passey's method. The Karoo basin is one of several basins southern Africa filled with Late Carboniferous to Jurassic sedimentary strata that host Permian age coal seams. Nine exploration (wells) drilled central are used determine Total Organic Carbon potential. Vitrinite reflectanc...

 Abstract Background: End-to-side esophagojejunostomy has almost always been associated with some degree of dysphagia. To overcome this complication we decided to perform an end-to-end anastomosis and compare it with end-to-side Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy. Methods: In this prospective study, between 1998 and 2005, 71 patients with a diagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma underwent total gastrec...
