Using computational fluid dynamics and field experiments to improve vehicle-based wind measurements for environmental monitoring [PDF]
Vehicle-based measurements of wind speed and direction are presently used for a range of applications, including gas plume detection. Many applications use mobile wind measurements without knowledge of the limitations and accuracy of the mobile ...

Explaining CO2 fluctuations observed in snowpacks [PDF]
Winter soil carbon dioxide (CO2) respiration is a significant and understudied component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Winter soil CO2 fluxes can be surprisingly variable, owing to physical factors such as snowpack properties and wind.

Sovereign Risk and Financial Risk [PDF]
This paper examines the relationship between sovereign bond spreads, local economic activity, and global financial risk. We use secondary-market prices of dollar-denominated sovereign securities to construct yield spreads between sovereign bond yields and yields on the appropriately defined default risk-free securities, constructed using zero-coupon U ...

High-pass filter characteristics of the baroreflex--a comparison of frequency domain and pharmacological methods. [PDF]
Pharmacological methods to assess baroreflex sensitivity evoke supra-physiological blood pressure changes whereas computational methods use spontaneous fluctuations of blood pressure.

Ultra-short heart rate variability and Poincaré plots
The short-term heart rate variability records of 5 minutes are currently considered very extensive compared to other indicators of health and well-being of people, such as body weight, blood glucose, blood pressure, etc.

When society makes a decision about some action (to build a dam or approve a new drug, for example), its choice is usually based on a comparison of risks and benefits. If the latter exceed the former, assuming that risks and benefits accrue to the same person or group, the project goes forward ...
