The present status of the problem of neutrino mass, mixing and neutrino oscillations is briefly summarized. The evidence for oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos found recently in the Super-Kamiokande experiment is discussed together with the results of the solar neutrino experiments and the accelerator LSND experiment.

Historical trends in face perception research during the past half century are summarized. The dual process model offered by cognitive neuroscientists to account for the perception of identity and emotion expression in the face is briefly reviewed together with supporting evidence. An ecological approach that incorporates missing pieces of face perception is offered as an additional, broader co...

Valley networks are mapped from mosaics composed of 100 m/pixel THEMIS images for 8 sites in Martian highlands. The sites are subdivided into individual drainage basins using 500 m/pixel DEMs co-registered with image mosaics. Terrain parameters are calculated for each basin with area > 10 km. Drainage densities of individual basins are 0 0.29 km−1. There is a moderate (r=0.5) correlation betwee...

Using data collected from six basins located across two hydrologically contrasting agricultural catchments, this study investigated whether transport metrics alone provide better estimates of storm phosphorus (P) loss from basins than critical source area (CSA) metrics which combine source factors as well. Concentrations and loads of P in quickflow (QF) were measured at basin outlets during fou...

Lunar topographic data revealed a large population of large impact basins not previously recognized by standard photogeologic mapping. Crustal thickness model data reveal the presence of even more. The total number of lunar basins > 300 km diameter may exceed 150, more than 3 times that determined by photogeologic mapping alone. Introduction: Photogeologic mapping suggested the cumulative numbe...

Many studies have been conducted on the characteristics of hydraulic jumps over horizontal basins. On sloping basins, however, few such studies have been performed so that the issue requires more investigation. A significant number of studies has also been conducted on basins with positive slopes but comparatively few have been carried out on basins with negative slopes. This study was carried ...
