    Measurements of turbulence at stratocumulus top

    No full text
    Using \sim1m resolution airborne data from research flights we divide stratocumulus top region into sublayers and characterize properties of turbulence in each sublayer. Results indicate, that there are no clear differences of turbulence properties between thermodynamically different "calassical" and "non-classical" stratocumulus regimes, but there are clear signs of turbulence ainsotropy in stably stratified sublayers in the cloud top region

    Maillou J, Dreiseikelmann B. The sim gene of Escherichia coli phage P1: nucleotide sequence and purification of the processed protein. Virology. 1990;175(2):500-507.The sim gene of bacteriophage P1 causes exclusion of a superinfecting P1 phage. We determined the nucleotide sequence of a 1.9-kb DNA fragment that, in plasmids, causes Sim phenotype. There are two open reading frames within this region for proteins of 82 and 259 amino acids. A 1.3-kb fragment containing the larger open reading frame was inserted into an expression vector. Induced cells carrying the hybrid plasmid, termed pBD5, were not infected by phage P1 and produced a 24-kDa protein and, to a smaller extent, a 25-kDa protein. The 24-kDa protein was purified. Comparison of its amino-terminal amino acid sequence with the nucleotide sequence indicated that it is processed from a precursor protein by removal of a hydrophobic leader peptide of 20 amino acids. In vivo processing depends on secA gene function and is necessary for Sim interference with P1 infection. The data are discussed with respect to the function of the sim gene in superinfection exclusion

    Triangular Constellations in Flows

    Particles advected on the surface of a fluid can exhibit fractal clustering. The local structure of a fractal set is described by its dimension DD, which is the exponent of a power-law relating the mass N{\cal N} in a ball to its radius ε\varepsilon: NεD{\cal N}\sim \varepsilon^D. It is desirable to characterise the {\em shapes} of constellations of points sampling a fractal measure, as well as their masses. The simplest example is the distribution of shapes of triangles formed by triplets of points, which we investigate for fractals generated by chaotic dynamical systems. The most significant parameter describing the triangle shape is the ratio zz of its area to the radius of gyration squared. We show that the probability density of zz has a phase transition: P(z)P(z) is independent of ε\varepsilon and approximately uniform below a critical flow compressibility βc\beta_{\rm c}, which we estimate. For β>βc\beta>\beta_{\rm c} the distribution appears to be described by two power laws: P(z)zα1P(z)\sim z^{\alpha_1} when 1zzc(ε)1\gg z\gg z_{\rm c}(\varepsilon), and P(z)zα2P(z)\sim z^{\alpha_2} when zzc(ε)z\ll z_{\rm c}(\varepsilon)

    A Wideband Monopole Antenna for PCS/IMT-2000/Bluetooth Applications

    A triple-band stubby antenna fed by a coaxial probe and tuning technique are proposed for operating at PCS, IMT-2000, and Bluetooth bands. The proposed antenna shielded by the antenna cover consists of the two radiating elements. The impedance matching and bandwidth for the proposed antenna are mainly affected by the length of the ground patch at the bottom of a small substrate. By properly choosing the size of the ground patch, the resonant frequencies can be easily adjusted, and a wide impedance bandwidth of 59.7% (|S-11| < -10 dB), which covers the Korean PCS (1750-1870 MHz), IMT-2000 (1920-2170 MHz), and Bluetooth (2402-2483.5 MHz) can be achieved. An omnidirectional radiation pattern is obtained, and the peak antenna gain of about 3 dBi or more is measured. The electrical characteristics of the proposed antenna make it attractive for use in mobile handset applications

    Retention of data in heat-damaged SIM cards and potential recovery methods

    No full text
    Examination of various SIM cards and smart card devices indicates that data may be retained in SIM card memory structures even after heating to temperatures up to 450oC, which the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has determined to be approximately the maximum average sustained temperature at desk height in a house fire. However, in many cases, and certainly for temperatures greater than 450oC, the SIM card chip has suffered structural or mechanical damage that renders simple probing or rewiring ineffective. Nevertheless, this has not necessarily affected the data, which is stored as charge in floating gates, and alternative methods for directly accessing the stored charge may be applicable
