Of fire and rain.
Of Fire and Rain is an eleven-minute work for full orchestra. Through its musical materials it explores the idea of two contrasting elements, fire and water, as symbols. Conflict, balance, suffering, and healing are among the themes underlying this pairing, and the piece addresses these ideas both …

Rain depolarization scatter prediction
… paper extends an existing mathematical model of rain depolarization and attenuation to include the expected variances as well as the usually predicted mean values. It emphasizes depolarization and develops data for waves with frequencies ranging from 4 to 34.8 GHz propagating in rain cells which …

Integration of rain fade into OPNET
… dissertation covers the study done to integrate rain fade into OPNET by including in one of the propagation models, the ability to access channel information from an external file and using the data to calculate attenuation along the simulated radio path.First the operation of OPNET is …

Rain Formation in Shallow Tropical Convection
Despite the time and space constraints placed on the results by the observed evolution of the updrafts, the calculations showed that the process of rain formation in warm convective clouds is simple and efficient, provided that giant and ultragiant CCN are present near cloud base. While more …

Rain scatter interference in satellite links
Scattering by rain in addition to inducing attenuation and depolarization in satellite links can create intersystem interference. This type of interference was investigated extensively in the 1970's for terrestrial links, but little has been done to study its effects on modern and future satellite …

Modeling the dynamic behavior of rain attenuation
… the problem of predicting satellite path rain fade duration statistics for an arbitrary location, frequency, elevation angle and polarization. It summarizes the development of a dynamic stochastic model. From this model a technique is derived for predicting fade duration statistics for one …

Effects of Rain and Simulated Rain on Deoxynivalenol Levels in Grain and Chaff of Winter Wheat with Fusarium Head Blight
<p>Wheat grain affected by Fusarium head blight (FHB) contains the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) that is harmful to humans and animals. Reducing the amount of DON in grain is the goal of management practices for FHB so it is important to understand the factors affecting DON in grain. Some studies …
