The existing 20-member ensemble of 50 yr ECHAM5/MPI-OM simulations provides a reasonably realisti Monte Carlo sample of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Localized observations of sea surface temperature (SST), zonal wind speed and thermocline depth are assimilated in the ensemble using sequential importance sampling to adjust the weight of ensemble members. We determine optimal observat...

In this paper, we present: 1) design of a single-rail energy-efficient 64-b Han–Carlson ALU, operating at 482 ps in 1.5 V, 0.18m bulk CMOS; 2) direct port of this ALU to 0.18m partially depleted SOI process; 3) SOI-optimal redesign of the ALU using a novel deep-stack quaternary-tree architecture; 4) margining for max-delay pushout due to reverse body bias in SOI designs; and 5) performance scal...

As reações do ciclopaladado catiônico [Pd(N,C-dmba)(MeCN) 2 ](NO 3 ) (1) (dmba = N,Ndimetilbenzilamina), como os pré-ligantes 3,5-dimetilpirazol (Hdmpz); 2-quinolinatiol (qnSH) e 1,1’-bis(difenilfosfina)ferroceno (dppf) levaram à formação dos compostos, respectivamente, [Pd(N,C-dmba)(Hdmpz)(ONO 2 )]0.5CH 2 Cl 2 (2), [Pd(N,C-dmba)(qnSH)(ONO 2 )] 0.5CH 2 Cl 2 (3) e [Pd(N,C-dmba)(dppf)](NO 3 ) (4)...

Aquifers are a fundamental source of freshwater, yet they particularly vulnerable in coastal regions with Mediterranean type climate, due to both climatic and anthropogenic pressures. This comparative study examines the interrelationships between ocean-atmosphere teleconnections, groundwater levels precipitation aquifers California (USA) Portugal. Piezometric climate indices (1989–2019) analyze...

INTRODUCTION New-onset insomnia (NOI) associated with nocturnal ventilatory support (NVS) is becoming a reality in clinical practice; however there is a lack of data about its prevalence. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of NOI in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) under NVS and its associated risk factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS Descriptive cross-sectional study of 8...

An optical hybrid design based on paired multimode interference couplers in silicon-on-insulator process is investigated. The device exhibits greater than 20 dB CMRR and low phase deviation (<10) over 30 nm in the C-band. The design eliminates the use of optical cross waveguides for integration with balanced photodetectors. Introduction Coherent detection scheme provides high spectral efficienc...

mean tropical state driving El Niño events for this analysis. Table 1 shows that knowledge of these quantities averaged over a 50-year window is not sufficient to determine the ENSO variability over the same window–developing more sophisticated metrics is a crucial goal of the proposed research. Nonetheless, simple lag-correlation analysis of NINO3 index and eastern Pacific thermocline depth (l...

Four novel mixed metal selenites or tellurites containing PdO(4) squares, namely, BaPd(SeO(3))(2), Bi(2)Pd(SeO(3))(4), and Pb(2)Pd(QO(3))(2)Cl(2) (Q = Se, Te), have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. These compounds exhibit three different types of anionic structures. BaPd(SeO(3))(2) contains one-dimensional (1D) [Pd(SeO(3))(2)](2-) anioni...

Un ultimo ringraziamento va a Lui, non si gioca a dadi qui, c'` e il Suo sogno per ognuno di noi, a noi non resta che viverlo.
