Greylock, Massachusetts 15 Minute Digital Raster Graphic

This layer is a digital raster graphic of the historic 15-minute USGS topographic map of the Greylock, Massachusetts quadrangle. The survey date (ground condition) of the original paper map is 1885, the edition date is November, 1898 and it was reprinted in July, 1901. A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map, including all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is geo-referenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator projection. The horizontal positional accuracy and datum of the DRG matches the accuracy and datum of the source map. The names of quadrangles which border this one appear on the map collar in their respective positions (N,S,E,W) in relation to this map.

Raymond D. Adams, gigante de la neurología norteamericana

El profesor Raymond D. Adams (1911-2010) fue una de las figuras más prominentes de la neurología norteamericana en el siglo XX. Realizó sus estudios de medicina en la Universidad de Duke. Posteriormente, inició especialización en psiquiatría, pero optó por dedicarse al estudio de la patología del sistema nervioso y a la neurología en el Hospital de Boston durante 10 años. Luego fue contratado por el Hospital General de Massachusetts, donde dirigió del Departamento de Neurología por más de 25 años. Fue profesor emérito de neuropatología de la Universidad de Harvard y obtuvo distinciones de otras universidades y sociedades científicas en los Estados Unidos y en otros países. Contribuyó de manera decisiva a la consolidación de la neurología en Norteamérica creando una escuela de fama mundial. Describió varios síndromes, aportó al desarrollo de otras ramas de la neurociencia, publicó múltiples artículos científicos y, desde 1977, junto con el Dr. Maurice Victor, el libro Principios de neurología, que se ha convertido en un clásico en la materia, traducido a varios idiomas. Dirigió un Departamento en donde se ha formado un muy destacado grupo de neurólogos de varias nacionalidades que dan brillo a la neurología mundial.

Future changes in the Western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity projected by a multidecadal simulation with a 16-km global atmospheric GCM

How tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the northwestern Pacific might change in a future climate is assessed using multidecadal Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP)-style and time-slice simulations with the ECMWF Integrated Forecast System (IFS) at 16-km and 125-km global resolution. Both models reproduce many aspects of the present-day TC climatology and variability well, although the 16-km IFS is far more skillful in simulating the full intensity distribution and genesis locations, including their changes in response to El Niño–Southern Oscillation. Both IFS models project a small change in TC frequency at the end of the twenty-first century related to distinct shifts in genesis locations. In the 16-km IFS, this shift is southward and is likely driven by the southeastward penetration of the monsoon trough/subtropical high circulation system and the southward shift in activity of the synoptic-scale tropical disturbances in response to the strengthening of deep convective activity over the central equatorial Pacific in a future climate. The 16-km IFS also projects about a 50% increase in the power dissipation index, mainly due to significant increases in the frequency of the more intense storms, which is comparable to the natural variability in the model. Based on composite analysis of large samples of supertyphoons, both the development rate and the peak intensities of these storms increase in a future climate, which is consistent with their tendency to develop more to the south, within an environment that is thermodynamically more favorable for faster development and higher intensities. Coherent changes in the vertical structure of supertyphoon composites show system-scale amplification of the primary and secondary circulations with signs of contraction, a deeper warm core, and an upward shift in the outflow layer and the frequency of the most intense updrafts. Considering the large differences in the projections of TC intensity change between the 16-km and 125-km IFS, this study further emphasizes the need for high-resolution modeling in assessing potential changes in TC activity.

Presence-absence species/sample matrix for the measured sections at the area of Maghara, North Sinai, Egypt

As age-diagnostic fossils are rare in the Middle to Upper Jurassic sedimentary succession of Gebel Maghara, North Sinai, Egypt, and in order to ensure maximal stratigraphic resolution, chronostratigraphic boundaries were determined based on quantitative biostratigraphy. A data matrix comprising 231 macrofaunal taxa in 93 samples from four sections has been processed with the Unitary Association (UA) Method. This led to construction of a sequence of 29 UAs (maximal sets of actually or virtually coexisting taxa), which have been grouped into 14 laterally reproducible association zones. The UA method allowed an in-depth analysis of the stratigraphically conflicting taxa, enabled the biostratigraphic subdivision of the studied interval, and also provided stratigraphic correlation among the measured sections and with the Tethyan ammonite zones.
