(2011)
Animal neurons dynamically change their morphologies in response to steroid hormone signaling to adapt to changing environments. The molecular mechanisms underlying animal neuronal remodeling, however, remain largely ...
USING A LOW-ORDER MODEL TO DETECT AND CHARACTERIZE INTENSE VORTICES IN MULTIPLE-DOPPLER RADAR DATA
(2010)
A new multiple-Doppler radar analysis technique is presented for the objective detection and characterization of intense vortices. The technique consists of fitting radial wind data from two or more radars to a simple ...
