Abstract. We report on the sub-basin variability in particulate organic carbon (POC) remineralization western and central Mediterranean Sea late spring during PEACETIME (ProcEss studies at Air–sEa Interface after dust deposition MEditerranean sea) cruise. POC rates were estimated using excess biogenic barium (Baxs) inventories mesopelagic layers (100–1000 m depth) compared with prokaryotic hete...

From fundamental principles, the interaction of directed energetic electrons with hydrogenic and arbitrary-Z plasmas is analytically modeled. The effects of stopping, straggling, and beam blooming, a consequence of scattering and energy loss, are rigorously treated from a unified approach. Enhanced energy deposition occurs in the latter portion of the penetration and is inextricably linked to s...

We analyze free-space optical links employing imaging receivers in the presence of misalignment and atmospheric effects, such as haze, fog or rain. We present a detailed propagation model based on the radiative transfer equation. We also compare the relative importance of two mechanisms by which these effects degrade link performance: signal attenuation and image blooming. We show that image bl...

The objective of this experiment was evaluation of self-compatibility and identification, introduction and selection of late flowering genotypes as cultivars. This experiment was carried out in order to determine the best pollinator for two commercial almond cultivars, 'Shahrood 12' and 'Shahrood 21'. Applied pollinator cultivars were included pollen from 'Shahrood 21', 'Genco', 'Tuno', '5-15' ...

II The SABLE field experiments investigated the use of phase-conjugate adaptive optics to compensate for strong thermal blooming and turbulence. The experiments, conducted at the TRW Capistrano Test Site in southern California over horizontal paths of 100 and 400 m, were designed to explore issues related to the propagation ofhigh-power lasers from the ground to space. The laser used in the exp...

We construct the first two continuous bloomings of all convex polyhedra. First, the source unfolding can be continuously bloomed. Second, any unfolding of a convex polyhedron can be refined (further cut, by a linear number of cuts) to have a continuous blooming.
