In this paper, we use the multiple cause-of-death approach to compare the mortality profiles of France and Italy in 2003.Our analysis leads to a substantial re-evaluation of the role played by certain conditions CONSOLE TABLES in the process leading to death.Regarding the associations of causes, we distinguish three patterns that are common to 3 Pi
Understanding the Role of Mean and Eddy Momentum Transport in the Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Irma (2017) and Hurricane Michael (2018)
The prediction of rapid intensification (RI) in Cocktail Napkins tropical cyclones (TCs) is a challenging problem.In this study, the RI process and factors contributing to it are compared for two TCs: an axis-symmetric case (Hurricane Irma, 2017) and an asymmetric case (Hurricane Michael, 2018).Both Irma and Michael became major hurricanes that mad
Improved the Accuracy of Seafloor Topography from Altimetry-Derived Gravity by the Topography Constraint Factor Weight Optimization Method
Gravity geologic method is one of the important to derive seafloor topography by using altimetry-gravity, and its committed step is gridding of regional gravity anomaly.Hence, we proposed a topography constraint factor weight optimization (TCFWO) method based on ordinary kriging method.This method fully considers the influence of topography factors
Investigation of fatigue and mechanical properties of the pipe grade poly(vinyl chloride) using recycled scraps
In this paper, the effect of using pre-consumer PVC scraps on static and long-term mechanical properties is studied.The degradation characteristics of mixing virgin PVC with crushed pre-consumer and PVC pipe scraps are analyzed Bookends using various tools including Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-ray fluore
