We present the detection of ro-vibrational absorption lines of the deformation mode of gaseous CH 4 toward the massive protostars W 33A, and NGC 7538 : IRS9, using the SWS spectrometer on board of the Infrared Space Observatory. The observed lines indicate that the CH 4 gas is warm (T ∼ 90 K), and has a low abundance (∼ 4 10 −7). The CH 4 ice in these lines of sight is embedded in a polar matri...

We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connect the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of thermally bistable interstellar medium. The front becomes the evaporation or condensation front depending on surrounding pressure. The stability analysis was done by long and s...

The role of latent heating from individual cloud processes associated with one part of a springtime extratropical cyclone, the warm front, is assessed using highresolution modelling. Condensation and cloud droplet nucleation are the largest sources of latent heat along the frontal surface and together produce rates of horizontal frontogenesis that are of the same order of magnitude as the defor...

The purpose of the current research was to study the effect of a warm-up program including submaximal half-squats on vertical jumping ability. Twenty physically active men participated in the study. Each subject performed 5 sets of half-squats with 2 repetitions at each of the following intensities: 20, 40, 60, 80, and 90% of the 1 repetition maximum (1RM) load. Prior to the first set and immed...

The purpose of this review is to determine how throwing overweight and underweight baseballs affects baseball throwing velocity and accuracy. Two studies examined how a warm-up with overweight baseballs affected throwing velocity and accuracy of 5 oz regulation baseballs. One of these studies showed significant increases in throwing velocity and accuracy, while the other study found no signific...

Numerical simulations of the large constrained deformation of polymeric structures frequently involves, at some stage, geometrical situations which are diicult to model. These are in addition to any diiculties encountered in the description and in the implementation of complicated con-stitutive relations. In the case of thermoforming the dii-cult geometrical situations occur as thin polymeric s...

In this paper, the temperature, time and pressure of the three process parameters were selected as three control factors of the low temperature co fired ceramic (LTCC) substrate laminating process. By using an L9 (33) orthogonal array which have 9 different process parameters' levels combinations were designed. The finite element analysis model of the LTCC substrate were established by using th...

Researchers have recently used warm-up questions concerning childhood memories at specific early ages (e.g. 3 years of age) in an attempt to facilitate the retrieval process on the subsequent question regarding the earliest memory. Although this methodology may indeed facilitate the retrieval process by conducting the test in a manner resembling ordinary dialogue, the methodology might also uni...

Frontier-based exploration is the most common approach to exploration, a fundamental problem in robotics. In frontierbased exploration, robots explore by repeatedly detecting (and moving towards) frontiers, the segments which separate the known regions from those unknown. A frontier detection sub-process examines map and/or sensor readings to identify frontiers for exploration. However, most fr...

In this work, we extend a previously demonstrated entropy based groupwise registration method to include a free-form deformation model based on B-splines. We provide an efficient implementation using stochastic gradient descents in a multi-resolution setting. We demonstrate the method in application to a set of 50 MRI brain scans and compare the results to a pairwise approach using segmentation...
