Six years of Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave
Radiometer (SMMR) data from 1979 to 1984 are recalibrated
at the radiometric level. New statistical techniques are
developed to quantify the temporal and orbital data errors
and to generate numerical corrections for brightness temperatures
prior to estimation of geophysical parameters.
The foundations of...
The effects of trade liberalization and trade integration can be seen in many
developing countries around the world. While freer trade can be said to create benefits
from efficient allocation of resources, it does not ensure that gains from trade will be
allocated equitably in a society. Nor does it...

The first asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epicylindrospermopsin via intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition is described. The synthesis utilized a convergent approach to prepare the cycloaddition precursor 176, which was assembled by condensation of hydroxylamine 175 with aldehyde 145. Hydroxylamine 175 was synthesized from ethylene glycol (166) in seven steps. Aldehyde 145 was completed...

CF algorithms work by obtaining feedback from users on the items that...
As ocean ecosystems continue to deteriorate in the face of human induced pressures, marine management professionals are increasingly being urged to predict the impacts of various activities on ocean ecosystems. Many ecosystem interactions are still not adequately understood, so managers often turn to scientists to provide data and analysis on...
Geographical datasets are large, complex, and can be difficult for users to navigate and derive meaning from. These datasets, as well as the unique insights derived from them, provide tremendous opportunity for social change -- many of the global challenges humankind is currently facing can benefit from analytics or visualization...
Expanding efforts to develop preventive gonorrhea vaccines is critical because of the dire possibility of untreatable gonococcal infections. Reverse vaccinology, which includes genome and proteome mining, has proven very successful in the discovery of vaccine candidates against many pathogenic bacteria. However, progress with this approach for a gonorrhea vaccine remains...
