The KiK-net is a vertical array system, and seismic motions are recorded at the ground surface and in the borehole. With the peak acceleration of 24.5 m/s2 at AKTH04 (EW) and 38.7 m/s2 at IWTH25 (UD) during the Iwate–Miyagi Nairiku earthquake in 2008, the occurrence mechanism of large accelerations is investigated by the non-stationary Fourier spectra and the double integrated displacement prof...

Radar systems have come a long way since their introduction in the 1940’s, today encompassing a broad range of applications, ranging from supermarket door openers to highly complex shipboard phased-array fire-control radars. Modern systems require higher performance to work in today’s ever more complex Electronic Warfare (EW) environments, which include jamming and deception. As a result, EW sy...

Ether-water (EW) extraction of Pasteurella tularensis produced better antigens than five other chemical procedures. EW extracts produced from stationary-phase, liquid-grown, saline suspensions of strain SCHU S4 cells regularly induced agglutinin and precipitin formation in rabbits. Mice, guinea pigs, and monkeys also responded to EW extracts but with lower antibody levels. The use of strains of...

It is shown that Einstein–Weyl (EW) equations in 2+1 dimensions contain the dispersionless Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (dKP) equation as a special case: If an EW structure admits a constant weighted vector then it is locally given by h = dy2−4dxdt−4udt2, ν = −4uxdt, where u = u(x, y, t) satisfies the dKP equation (ut − uux)x = uyy. Linearised solutions to the dKP equation are shown to give rise to f...

A standard introduction to online learning might place Online Gradient Descent at its center and then proceed to develop generalizations and extensions like Online Mirror Descent and secondorder methods. Here we explore the alternative approach of putting exponential weights (EW) first. We show that many standard methods and their regret bounds then follow as a special case by plugging in suita...

Observations of distant galaxies play a key role in improving our understanding of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). The observed Lyα emission line strength – quantified by its restframe equivalent width (EW) – provides a valuable diagnostic of stellar populations and dust in galaxies during and after the EoR. In this paper we quantify the effects of star formation stochasticity on the predicted...

BACKGROUND Numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have arrived at conflicting conclusions on expressive writing (EW) as an intervention for breast cancer (BC) patients, but there has been no meta-analysis of these studies to assess the effectiveness of EW in BC population. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and CINAHL and the www.clinicaltrial.gov database on ...

Abstract. Soil evaporation is a key process in the water cycle and can be conveniently quantified using ?2H ?18O bulk surface soil (BW). However, recent research shows that larger pores evaporates first differs from smaller ?18O, which disqualifies quantification of BW ?18O. We hypothesized had different isotopic compositions evaporating (EW). Therefore, our objectives were to test this hypothe...
