The Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) two-dimensional square array radar system operating at ~ 6-m wavelength was used to study the Moon and low Earth orbit satellites using the Range-Doppler inverse synthetic aperture radar technique also known as Delay-Doppler imaging. The radar data was collected on Oct 21, 2015. A circularly polarized coded pulse was transmitted from a quarter-array antenna ...

The recent expansion of Atlantic waters into the Arctic Ocean represents undisputable evidence of the rapid changes occurring in this region. Understanding the past variability of this “Atlantification” is thus crucial in providing a longer perspective on the modern Arctic changes. Here, we reconstruct the history of Atlantification along the eastern Fram Strait during the past 800 years using ...

Quantifying bedrock weathering rates under diverse climate conditions is essential to understanding timescales of landscape evolution. Yet, weathering rates are often difficult to constrain, and associating a weathered landform to a specific formative environment can be complicated by overprinting of successive processes and temporally varying climate. In this study, we investigate three sites ...

The Patagonian Icefields, which straddle the Andes below 46°S, are two of the most sensitive ice masses on Earth to climate change. However, recent mass loss from the icefields along with its spatial and temporal variability is not well-constrained. Here we determine surface elevation changes of Benito Glacier, a 163 km2 outlet glacier draining the western flank of the North Patagonian Icefield, ...

Denne studien tar for seg å undersøke hvordan rapporteringskultur påvirker forbedring av pasientsikkerhet på en sykehusavdeling. Det var i min jobb som assistent på en sykehusavdeling jeg opplevde at mange ikke hadde fått opplæring i å bruke rapporteringssystemet for å registrere avviksmeldinger eller uønskede hendelser. Hensikten med å benytte rapporteringssystemer er å lære av og forhindre at ...

This paper focuses on migrants and migration in the context of the Czech Republic, an ethnically and nationally homogeneous country without significant migration experience. Despite this fact, the issue of migration became very prominent in 2015 and has been an integral part of Czech political and public discourse since then. Although the topic has attracted scholarly interest, but the reflection ...

In interstadial deposits, sand interbeds gain limited consideration in comparison with organic sediments, and therefore tend to be underrepresented in paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The Raunis site, central-eastern Latvia, is an example where organic beds have already gained some attention and been used to understand the complex interactions between advance and retreat of the Scandinavian Ice ...

Stationary adiabatic flows of real gases issued from a source of given intensity are studied. Thermodynamic states of gases are described by Legendrian or Lagrangian manifolds. Solutions of Euler equations are given implicitly for any equation of state and the behavior of solutions of the Navier–Stokes equations with the viscosity considered as a small parameter is discussed. For different intensities ...

Let <i><b>R</b></i> be a real closed field. We consider basic semi-algebraic sets defined by <i>n</i>-variate equations/inequalities of s symmetric polynomials and an equivariant family of polynomials, all of them of degree bounded by 2<i>d</i> &#60; <i>n</i>. Such a semi-algebraic set is invariant by the action of the symmetric group. We show that such a set is either empty or it contains a point ...

This thesis presents the implementation of a numerical real-space method for the calculation of the electronic structure of molecular systems within the self-consistent field approximations of quantum chemistry. The code is based on the multi-resolution multiwavelet basis which provide sparse representations of functions and operators, in particular integral operators with Green's function convolution ...
