Edwards-Wilkinson surface over a spherical substrate: $1/f$ noise in the height fluctuations

open access: yes, 2004
We study the steady state fluctuations of an Edwards-Wilkinson type surface with the substrate taken to be a sphere. We show that the height fluctuations on circles at a given latitude has the effective action of a perfect Gaussian $1/f$ noise, just as ...

Long‐Term Particulate Matter Exposure May Increase Risk of Chronic Rhinosinusitis WIth Nasal Polyposis: Results from an Exposure‐Matched Study

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM2.5) and its role in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) pathogenesis have gained heightened attention. We previously demonstrated that PM2.5 exposure may bias the nasal mucosa in CRS toward a Type 2 inflammatory pathway.

Latitude, Birth Date, and Allergy

open access: yesPLoS Medicine, 2005
The space and time distribution of risk factors for allergic diseases may provide insights into disease mechanisms. Allergy is believed to vary by month of birth, but multinational studies taking into account latitude have not been conducted.A questionnaire was distributed in 54 centres to a representative sample of 20- to 44-y-old men and women mainly

Derivation of transformation formulas between geocentric and geodetic coordinates for nonzero altitudes [PDF]

open access: yes
Four formulas, for the nonzero altitude transformation from geodetic coordinates (geodetic latitude and altitude) to geocentric coordinates (geocentric latitude and geocentric distance) and vice versa, are derived.

Latitude by Ex-Meridian [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1894
THE problem under consideration is that of finding latitude by an altitude of a heavenly body taken near the meridian, commonly called the “Ex-Meridian.” The method most frequently employed by navigators is that in which a reduction is applied to the observed altitude in order to reduce it to the meridian, this reduction being either found by ...

Improving computer vision for plant pathology through advanced training techniques

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise This study investigates advanced training techniques to improve the performance of convolutional neural networks for disease detection in cocoa, Theobroma cacao. Methods Despite recent stagnation in accuracy improvements in computer vision for image classification, our research demonstrates significant advancements in performance ...

Reaction norm in response to temperature may change to adapt rapid brood development to boreal and subarctic climates in Myrmica ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2002
Colonies of M. rubra, M. ruginodis and M. scabrinodis were collected in four geographic regions: Kiev, Ukraine (50.5°N, 30.5°E - first two species), Vladimir, Russia (56.2°N, 40.4°E - only last species), St. Petersburg, Russia (59.3°N, 30.3°E - all three

A mid-latitude ozone model for the US standard atmosphere, 1975 (summary) [PDF]

open access: yes
A mid-latitude, Northern-Hemisphere model of the daytime ozone distribution in the troposphere, stratosphere, and lower mesosphere was constructed. Data from rocket soundings in the latitude range 45 deg N + or - 15 deg, results of balloon soundings at ...

Discovery of Temperate Latitude Clouds on Titan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Until now, all the clouds imaged in Titan's troposphere have been found at far southern latitudes (60°-90° south). The occurrence and location of these clouds is thought to be the result of convection driven by the maximum annual solar heating of Titan's

infinitylists: A Shiny application and R package for rapid generation of place‐based species checklists

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Biodiversity researchers often need to answer the question: “Which species of taxon X have been documented in (or near) spatial polygon Y?” Online databases with billions of occurrence records, including vouchered specimens and citizen science records, can provide the answer; however, quick spatial processing of huge biodiversity ...
