The Classification of Synoptic-Scale Eddies at 850 hPa over the North Pacific in Wintertime by Linlin Xia, Yanke Tan, Chongyin Li, Cheng Cheng

“…The WSE reach their largest amplitude around the dateline in the North Pacific, while the largest amplitude of ESE occurs in the northeast Pacific. (2) The WSE and ESE are the most important modes of the synoptic-scale eddies at 850 hPa over the North Pacific, which correspond to the two max value centers of the storm track. (3) In addition to geopotential height, the WSE and the ESE also leave their wave-like footprints in the temperature, meridional wind, and vertical velocity fields, which assume typical baroclinic wave features. (4) The WSE and the ESE have an intrinsic time scale of four days and experience a “midwinter suppression” corresponding to the midwinter suppression of storm tracks.…”

Influence of mineral powders on the properties of binding systems by M. Sh. Salamanova, M. R. Nakhaev

“…The qualitative composition of the boundary interphase zone is determined by the nature and reactivity of the filler.Conclusions. The analysis of the results showed that the appropriate chemical and mineralogical composition, the presence of ion-exchange centers and high activity coefficient contribute to an increase in the reactivity of mineral additives, which is important for the creation of strong binder, necessary for the organization of monolithic high-rise construction with structural elements of complex hermetic configuration.…”

مداخلة علمیة حول النشر العلمى فى مصادر الوصول الحر Open Access بین التأیید والرفض by Gamal Al Dahshan

“…Manysocieties and institutions have embraced this movement and invested its variouscomponents in order to facilitate the flow of information not only in thesecommunities but throughout the world , This movement originated primarily as asolution to the problem of scientific communication, access to scientific researchat the time of publication or after a short period of time, and overcome theproblem of rising costs of participation in the traditional periodicals and theinability of libraries and individuals to bear the steady increase in this Field.We believe that although we believe that the scientific publishing in thesources of free access is the natural development of scientific publishing in thedigital age, we see at the same time the need to establish controls and conditionsand even standards to ensure its quality, and provide credibility to the clients andit is still not But with the revolution of electronic information and the ease of whatis described as the globalization of knowledge on the one hand, and the high costs of subscription imposed by the traditional publishing houses on the otherhand, it does not seem realistic to maintain the traditional form of publishing theexistence of the usual form, Of periodicals issued p A long-standing publishingrole for a mixed model combines the traditional model with this modelHence, openness should be open to the issue of publishing in the sourcesof free access, in addition to caution against falling into the trap of anonymouspublishers whose goal is to profit at the expense of the quality of what theypublish. …”
