OPTIMAL PERTURBATIONS OF AN OCEANIC VORTEX LENS

Optimal Perturbations of an Oceanic Vortex Lens

The stability properties of a vortex lens are studied in the quasi geostrophic (QG) framework using the generalized stability theory.Optimal perturbations are obtained using a tangent linear QG model and its adjoint.Their fine-scale spatial structures are studied in details.Growth rates of optimal perturbations are shown to be extremely sensitive t

Potential Use of Antiviral Agents in Polio Eradication

In 1988, the World Health Assembly launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which aimed to use large-scale vaccination with the oral vaccine to eradicate polio worldwide by the year 2000.Although important progress has been Skincare made, polio remains endemic in several countries.Also, the current control measures will likely be inadequat
