Seasonal Variability of Precipitating Systems in Four Radar Domains of Northeast Brazil

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyzes the climatology and evaluates how the physical aspects of precipitating systems are influenced by the dry and wet seasons in Northeast Brazil, highlighting seasonal variations in the frequency, size, intensity, and duration of these systems in the regions of Natal, Maceió, Petrolina, and Salvador.

Qubit quantum-dot sensors: noise cancellation by coherent backaction, initial slips, and elliptical precession

open access: yes, 2016
We theoretically investigate the backaction of a sensor quantum dot with strong local Coulomb repulsion on the transient dynamics of a qubit that is probed capacitively. We show that the measurement backaction induced by the noise of electron cotunneling

Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

Revisiting the Afterlife: The Inadequacies of Heaven and Hell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper deals with some of the ambiguities that are associated with the intermediate and final states after death. Whereas many in the church have dismissed these concepts as myths of the ancients, this discussion shows how the grounding of such ...

Development of Selective Plane Illumination Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Spectral Microscopy for Improved Cellular Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Selective plane illumination (SPI) is combined with SERS spectral imaging to reduce background, improve image contrast, and enable improved spectroscopy from molecules on the surface of nanoparticles. This approach provides improved imaging and spectroscopy from nanoparticles in complex environments, such as biological cells.

The heresies of Brendan's Voyage [PDF]

open access: yes
The Voyage of Brendan was denounced by Vincent of Beauvais and cited in an Inquisitional deposition. The most popular scenes in the narrative use source material that is itself heretical.

'What the hell is wrong with you?' A corpus perspective on evaluation and emotion in contemporary American pop culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this chapter I take a corpus linguistic perspective on the language of evaluation and emotion working with a 1.5 million word corpus of American TV dialogue (from the TV series Gilmore Girls). I am interested in occurrences of evaluative and emotional

Optical Kerr Gating as a Strategy for Noise Reduction in Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We report an experimental approach, where an Optical Kerr gate is incorporated with Femtosecond Stimulated Raman Spectrometry (FSRS). The gate functions as a temporal filter that preferentially suppresses the FSRS inherent background. FSRS spectra are reported with the Kerr‐gated methodology with significantly improved SNR compared to the conventional ...

Triacylglycerol‐Based Insulin Resistance Indices and Post‐Transplantation Diabetes Mellitus After Liver Transplantation

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: Post‐transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication following liver transplant (LT) and is associated with adverse outcomes. The triacylglycerol‐glucose product (TyG) and the triacylglycerol‐to‐high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (TAG/HDL‐c) are indices that can serve as triacylglycerol‐based proxies for ...

Gettysburg\u27s Tragedy in Virginia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Jacob and John Kitzmiller were brothers-in-arms, fighting through the thickets of Virginia with the 138th Pennsylvania. And spring of 1864 was one hell of a slog. The two boys were the youngest members of their family.
