The objective of the AREA research is to develop a probabilistic methodology for optimal, in-situ assessment of the environmental parameters most critical to the uncertainty of the acoustic prediction, within constraints of the actual acoustic system configuration and the available tactical REA resources. The goal is an efficient modeling and simulation framework, which allows for real-time pre...

In developing countries, it has been observed that drinking-water frequently becomes recontaminated following its collection and during storage in the home. This paper proposes a semi-quantified ‘disease risk index’ (DRI) designed to identify communities or households that are ‘most at risk’ from consuming recontaminated drinking-water. A brief review of appropriate physical and educational int...

Abstract Background The sequence of establishing a proximal stability or function before facilitation the distal body part has long been recognized in stroke rehabilitation practice but lacks scientific evidence. This study plans to examine effects priority robotic priming and impairment-oriented training (PRI) (DRI). Methods single-blind, randomized, comparative efficacy will involve 40 partic...

As a result of the determination retention indices (RI) 11 organic compounds various polarity in reversed phase (RP) HPLC using methanol as solvent elu­ent, coefficients dependence RI vs. content methanol, dRI/dС were de­ter­mi­ned. Formally, these parameters are equivalent to temperature gas chromatographic indices, b = dRI/dT. It is shown that ranges variations rather large (from -2.0 up +4.6...

Ahrrwx-The informational content of ditlercnt forecasts can be compared by regressing the actual change in a variable to be forecasted on forecasts of the change. We we the procedure in Fair and Shikr (1987) to examine the informational content of three sets of ex ante forecasts: the American Statist&i Association and National Bureau of Economic Research Survey (ASP.). Data Resources Incorporat...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine funding models for Open Access (OA) digital data repositories whose costs are not wholly core funded. Whilst such repositories are free to access, they are not without significant cost to build and maintain and the lack of both full core costs and a direct funding stream through payment-for-use poses a considerable financial challenge, placing t...

The long term goal of the "Scalable Lateral Mixing and Coherent Turbulence" DRI, under which the PIs are funded, is to understand the processes that stir and mix tracers in the ocean on lateral scales of 100 kilometers to 10 meters, the so-called submesoscales. The specific long term goals of the PIs are to understand the influence of mesoscale strain in driving stirring and mixing at the subme...

Drought characterization and risk assessment are of great significance due to drought’s negative impact on human health, economy, ecosystem. This paper investigates drought in the Lempa River basin Central America. We applied Standardized Evapotranspiration Deficit Index (SEDI) for hazard index (DHI) calculation. Although SEDI’s applicability is theoretically proven, it has been rarely applied....

Sponge iron (DRI) due to the high surface area, often shows a high tendency to re-oxidation and at some cases spontaneous combustion (autoignition). In this work, re-oxidation behavior and autoignition of sponge iron, produced from different types of iron ore has been investigated. Isothermal and non-isothermal re-oxidation experiments were carried out on each type of DRI and their autoignition...
