modification of precipitation from warm clouds-a review

reviews the status of the physics of precipitation in warm clouds. the impact of warm-cloud precipitation processes on the evolution of the ice phase in supercooled clouds is discussed. this is followed by a review of experimental attempts to modify the microstructure of warm clouds. modeling studies of warm cloud modification and observa..

osmoregulation and interstitial fluid pressure changes in humans during water immersion

the aim of the present study was to determine the magnitude and direction of the shift of body fluids during water immersion of humans to the neck. five healthy male subjects were studied lying in air for 1.5 h, sitting in 34 degreesc water to the neck for 1 h, and again lying in air for 1.5 h in two sets of experiments. for the first set..

how to recover erased cp/m files

there are times when the last copy of a program or text file is erased, and one wishes there was some way to undo the era command. to combat this frustration, a program is presented that will unerase certain files. the program is written using 8080 assembly code, which is compatible with any 8080, 8085, z80 cp/m system. the program should..

a quantum-chemical description of the birefringence of alternant hydrocarbons in transverse electric and magnetic fields

studies of birefringence in transverse electric fields (kerr effect) or magnetic fields (cotton-mouton effect), which are comparatively simple from the experimental viewpoint, make it possible to obtain valuable information on the structure of organic compounds. from the theoretical viewpoint, these phenomena are explained almost complete..

a master disk directory

when working with disk files under cp/m, a particular file may be known to exist, but exactly which diskette contains the file is a mystery. in order to find the disk file, each diskette is inserted, the directory is listed, the diskette is removed and the new diskette is selected. this process continues until the disk file is found. this..

(hgcd)te-sio/sub 2/ interface structure

low-temperature chemical vapor deposited (cvd) sio/sub 2/ has proven to be a very important material for use as a passivation on hgcdte, principally because it combines a high resistivity and low-temperature application with excellent interface electronic structure. as previously reported, capacitance measurements show no frequency disper..

phase separation of phosphonated polystyrenes in the solid state. iv. influence of this phenomenon on their flame retardency properties (esca observations)

the authors point out, using the esca method, that the repartition of phosphorus atoms of phosphonated telechelic polystyrenes in the solid state, is not homogeneous. on the other hand, a correlation is established between the p/c ratio in a thin superficial layer of the polymer and flammability data

atomic collisions and time resolved coherent laser spectroscopy

a parallel is drawn between saturated absorption and photon echo techniques in view of their application to atomic collision studies in low pressure gases. photon echo characteristics are examined in the case of stimulated photon echo and in the case of conventional photon echo. a few recent experimental results are surveyed briefly. the ..

electronic optical activity of (-)-alpha-phellandrene

molecular orbital computations on the sign and magnitude of the cotton effect of (-)-alpha-phellandrene (a conjugated diene) and the separate twisted butadiene chromophore were performed using configuration interaction (ci) and the random phase approximation (rpa) methods with a standard minimal basis set of sto/3g orbitals the relative c..

field-gradient-induced birefringence in dilute solutions of furan, thiophen and selenophen in cyclohexane

measurements of the infinite-dilution molar field-gradient birefringence constants, kerr constants and cotton-mouton constants of furan, thiophen and selenophen as solutes in cyclohexane at 298k and 632.8 nm are reported. analysis of the observations, in conjunction with other known electric and magnetic properties of these molecules, yie..
