frost is one of the atmospheric phenomena which seriously threaten crop production. it also causes numerousaccidents in mountainous roads. in this research the spatial synoptic classification ssc method was employed toclassify the type of air masses. for the classification, such meteorological data as: temperature, dew point, mean sealevel pressure, cloudiness, direction and speed of wind were ...

The concept of a dew-point front was introduced, and its existence was identified near the periphery of the west Pacific subtropical anticyclone by using the daily 1 1 data of the National Center for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR). The dew-point front was a transitional belt between the moist southwest monsoon flow and the dry adiabatic sinking flo...

The fungus Myrothecium verrucaria (MV) has previously been shown to have potential as a bioherbicide for kudzu (Pueraria lobata) control. It has also been shown that MV wild-type (MV-wt) often forms sectors, when grown on various nutrient media. Experiments compared MV-wt and MV sector efficacy when grown on agar or on rice grains. In greenhouse evaluations of sectors, applied as foliar sprays ...

Hydrocarbon liquid dropout can cause a number of problems in gas transmission lines, including increased pressure drop, reduced line capacity, and equipment problems such as compressor damage. To avoid liquid dropout, most current operating specifications for gas transmission lines require that the lines be operated above the hydrocarbon dew point (HDP) or cricondentherm hydrocarbon dew point (...

Evaporation of water from the skin is an important mechanism in thermal homeostasis. Resistance hygrometry, in which the water vapor pressure gradient above the skin surface is calculated, has been the measurement method of choice in the majority of pediatric investigations. However, resistance hygrometry is influenced by changes in ambient conditions such as relative humidity, surface temperat...

While the popularity of cloud computing is exploding, a new network computing paradigm is just beginning. In this paper, we examine this exciting area of research known as dew computing and propose a new design of clouddew architecture. Instead of hosting only one dew server on a user’s PC — as adopted in the current dewsite application — our design promotes the hosting of multiple dew servers ...

Gather Dew in the Month of May, when the Sun is in Aries and the Moon is in Taurus, with a clean white Linen Cloth spread upon the Grass [Figure 1]. Filter the Dew into a clean white Porcelain Pan, and deliver it into the Great Egg. Combine this Dew with Virgin’s Milk and Infant’s Blood, digest for fourteen Days in Horse Dung, and distill to one quarter its Bulk four times running. This Procedu...

Vitamin C (ascorbate) and glutathione (GSH) are the two most concentrated non-enzymatic antioxidants in the human brain. Double editing with (DEW) MEGA-PRESS at 4T was designed in this study to measure both antioxidants in the same amount of time previously required to measure one. In the occipital lobe of four human subjects, resolved ascorbate (Asc) and GSH resonances were detected repeatedly...

The use of atomization or an aerosol formation is investigated as a vehicle for enzyme treatment of dew-retted flax fibers. A cellulase/endoglucanase from Trichoderma reesei is applied by atomization to dew-retted fibers at concentrations of 0. 50, and 100 U. Enzyme activity post-atomization is verified by GLC analyses of sugars hydrolyzed from the treated fibers. Cellulase treatment results in...

The composition of dew-retted and water-retted flax fibers were evaluated by chemical and mass spectral analyses to determine their chemical differences. Phenolics, waxes, cutin, and carbohydrates were determined by gas liquid chromatography. Water-retted fibers contained more residual wax and lower arabinose content than the dew-retted and were finer and stronger. Pyrolysis mass spectrometric ...
