Many noncompact Type I orbifolds satisfy tadpole constraints yet are anomalous. We present a generalization of the anomaly inflow mechanism for some of these cases in six and four dimensions.

With HeartMate II (HMII) implants increasing so has the frequency of device exchange. However, identifying inflow cannula obstruction, pump thrombosis, or outflow obstruction as the mechanism of pump dysfunction can be difficult. Echocardiography, CT angiogram, and cardiac catheterization are not definitive in determining the location of pump failure. Therefore, intraoperative examination is of...

[1] During 2002 and 2003 exceptional inflow events have been registered. In January 2003 a massive inflow of highly saline, cold and extremely oxygen-rich water from the North Sea was recorded at Darss Sill. This event is considered to be the most important inflow since 1993. A coupled model system for the Baltic Sea region, called BALTIMOS, was developed in the frame of DEKLIM/ BALTEX by linki...

The stratification of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is classified in terms of the M-O length and subsequently used to determine the relationship between ABL stability and the fatigue loads of a wind turbine located inside an offshore wind farm. Recorded equivalent fatigue loads, representing blade-bending and tower bottom bending, are combined with the operational statistics from the ins...

A free-vortex wake (FVW) model is developed in this paper to analyse the unsteady aerodynamic performance of offshore floating wind turbines. A time-marching algorithm of third-order accuracy is applied in the FVW model. Owing to the complex floating platform motions, the blade inflow conditions and the positions of initial points of vortex filaments, which are different from the fixed wind tur...

A dynamic water allocation framework for a multipurpose, single reservoir is formulated to utilize climate information based reservoir inflow forecasts to quantify the reliability of use for the given demand. Based on the semi-parametric approach of De Souza and Lall [2003], 12 months lead retrospective reservoir inflow forecasts were developed for the period July 1990June 2000 for the Oros res...

In this paper we study the contribution of inflows and outflows to the dynamics of unemployment in three European countries, the United Kingdom, France and Spain. We compare performance in these three countries making use of both administrative and labor force survey data. We find that the impact of the 1980s reforms in Britain is evident in the contributions of the inflow and outflow rates. Th...
