Assessment of ICESat‐2 Ice Sheet Surface Heights, Based on Comparisons Over the Interior of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2019
We collected kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) surface height data, on a 750‐km ground‐based traverse of the flat interior of the Antarctic ice sheet, for comparison with Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) surface ...

Heights and totally real numbers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
1973 Schinzel proved that the standard logarithmic height h on the maximal totally real field extension of the rationals is either zero or bounded from below by a positive constant. In this paper we study this property for canonical heights associated to

Theta height and Faltings height [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin de la Société mathématique de France, 2012
Using original ideas from J.-B. Bost and S. David, we provide an explicit comparison between the Theta height and the stable Faltings height of a principally polarized abelian variety. We also give as an application an explicit upper bound on the number of K-rational points of a curve of genus g>1 over a number filed K under a conjecture of S.

Sea-level rise induced amplification of coastal protection design heights

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Coastal protection design heights typically consider the superimposed effects of tides, surges, waves, and relative sea-level rise (SLR), neglecting non-linear feedbacks between these forcing factors.

Impact of climate change on New York City’s coastal flood hazard: Increasing flood heights from the preindustrial to 2300 CE

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Significance We combine downscaled tropical cyclones, storm-surge models, and probabilistic sea-level rise projections to assess flood hazard associated with changing storm characteristics and sea-level rise in New York City from the preindustrial era to

Assessment of MISR and MODIS cloud top heights through inter-comparison with a back-scattering lidar at SIRTA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
One year of back-scattering lidar cloud boundaries and optical depth were analysed for coincident inter-comparison with the latest processed versions of the NASA-TERRA MISR stereo and MODIS CO2-slicing operational cloud top heights. Optically thin clouds

Face Dependence of Schottky Barriers Heights of Silicides and Germanides on Si and Ge

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Density functional supercell calculations of the Schottky barrier heights (SBH) of metal germanides and silicides on Si or Ge find that these vary with the facet, unlike those of elemental metals.

A Preliminary Exploration of the Relationships Between Student-Created OER, Sustainability, and Students' Success

open access: yesInternational Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2017
This article explores the relationship between open educational resources (OER) created by students for use by other students, the long-term sustainability of the movement toward OER, and the success of students who use OER created by other students as ...

Quadratic Chabauty and rational points, I: p-adic heights [PDF]

open access: yesDuke mathematical journal, 2016
We give the first explicit examples beyond the Chabauty-Coleman method where Kim's nonabelian Chabauty program determines the set of rational points of a curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ or a quadratic number field. We accomplish this by studying the role

Green Fluorescent Protein as a Quantitative Reporter of Relative Promoter Activity in E. coli

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2000
Green fluorescent protein (GFP) has become a valuable tool for the detection of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. To evaluate its potential for quantitation of relative promoter activity in E.
