Accuracy verification of airborne large-footprint lidar data is important for proper data application but is difficult when ground-based laser detectors are not available.Therefore, we developed a novel method for lidar accuracy verification based on the broadened echo pulse caused by signal saturation over water.When an aircraft trajectory crosses
Pre-storm NmF2 enhancements at middle latitudes: delusion or reality?
A critical analysis of recent publications devoted to the LIPSTICK NILE NUDE NmF2 pre-storm enhancements is performed.There are no convincing arguments that the observed cases of NmF2 enhancements at middle and sub-auroral latitudes bear a relation to the following magnetic storms.In all cases considered the NmF2 pre-storm enhancements were due to
Two Children With Steroid-Resistant Significant Proteinuria Due to Nonsense Mutations of the TRIM8 Gene: A Case Report and Literature Review
BackgroundTRIM8 gene mutations have been reported as the genetic basis of autosomal dominant (AD) neuro-renal syndrome in children, which presents with Amplifier epileptic encephalopathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), developmental delay, and mental retardation.In this study, we report the cases of two children with significant protein
Profile and outcome of congenital heart diseases in children: A preliminary experience from a tertiary center in Sokoto, North Western Nigeria
Aims and Objectives: Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) contribute significantly to childhood morbidity and mortality in many developing countries, largely due to late recognition and lack of skill and facilities for definitive intervention.Though data is available from other parts of the country, little is known about the pattern of CHD in the study
An N=1 $$ mathcal{N}=1 $$ 3d-3d correspondence
Abstract M5-branes on an associative three-cycle M 3 in a G 2-holonomy manifold give rise to a 3d N=1 $$ mathcal{N}=1 $$ supersymmetric gauge theory, TN=1M3 $$ {T}_{mathcal{N}=1}left[{M}_3 ight] $$.We propose an N=1 $$ mathcal{N}=1 $$ 3d-3d correspondence, based on two observables of these theories: the Witten index and the S 3-partition function.T
