[1] Using 1 year of CloudSat level 2B Cloud Geometrical Profile product, the vertical structures, geographical distributions, and seasonal variations of cloud occurrence at the daytime (1330 LT) and the nighttime (0130 LT) overpasses and their differences over tropical land and ocean are presented separately. The differences between the cloud and precipitation occurrence at 0130 and 1330 LT and...

Aims. We examine a recently–proposed evolutionary scenario that could explain the existence of the low–mass, helium– enriched PG1159 stars. We focus in particular on the study of the pulsational stability properties of the evolutionary models predicted by such scenario. Methods. We assess the overstability of pulsation g−modes of stellar models as evolution proceeds along the PG1159 domain. Ste...

The article is focused on the determination of nonlinear relationships between soil compaction, density, and water content. It was found that these properties can be described by second-order models used for improving devices on-stream density measuring. determining loamy (at a content 20%) in range from 0.9 to 1.6 g/cm3 with an extremum 1.35 were improved. A device measuring proposed. operates...

Density estimation is an important but costly operation for applications that need to know the distribution of a data set. Moreover, when the data comes as a stream, traditional density estimation methods cannot cope with it efficiently. In this paper, we examined the problem of computing density function over data streams and developed a novel method to solve it. A new concept M-Kernel is used...

Hepatic epithelioid hemangio endothelioma (HEHE) is a rare tumor of the liver, vascular in origin. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is the accepted treatment option for bilobar infiltrating tumors. In case of limited and stable extrahepatic invasion, OLT is not strictly contraindicated. This study presents two HEHE cases treated with living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The first pa...
