description: Relaxation of electrons in a Hubbard model coupled to a dissipative bosonic bath is studied to simulate the pump-probe photoemission measurement. From this insight, we propose an experimental method of eliciting unoccupied part of the single-particle spectra at the equilibrium of doped-Mott insulators. We reveal first that effective temperatures of distribution functions and electronic spectra are different during the relaxation, which makes the frequently employed thermalization picture inappropriate. Contrary to the conventional analysis, we show that the unoccupied spectra at equilibrium can be detected as the states that relax faster.

title: Einfluss der oralen Aufnahme verschiedener Dosen von Xanthohumol auf die Immunantwort
Creators: name: Kreher, Johanna Marie
Year: 2022

description: Xanthohumol ist ein bislang ausschließlich im Hopfen nachgewiesenes prenyliertes Chalkon, welches in Studien u. a. antiinflammatorische sowie antibakterielle Wirkungen zeigte. Ziel der vorliegenden Masterarbeit war es, zu untersuchen, ob die orale Aufnahme von verschiedenen Xanthohumol-Dosen aus einem Xanthohumol-reichen Extrakt immunmodulierende Wirkung auf die LPS- bzw. LTA-stimulierte Freisetzung verschiedener Zytokine sowie CD14 im Zellkulturüberstand von isolierten Immunzellen ex vivo zeigen, ob unterschiedliche Dosen von Xanthohumol unterschiedlich starke protektive Effekte induzieren und inwiefern sich die Immunantwort im Zeitverlauf ändert. Die Ergebnisse eines Probanden der durchgeführten Pilotstudie weisen darauf hin, dass die verschiedenen Xanthohumol-Dosen sowohl die LPS-als auch LTA-stimulierte Freisetzung von IL-6, TNF-α und CD14 im Zellkulturmedium von Monozyten im Vergleich zum Placebo im Zeitverlauf hemmen konnten. Im Gegensatz dazu wurde die LPS-induzierte Freisetzung von IL-1β durch die orale Aufnahme von Xanthohumol verstärkt. Außerdem konnte Xanthohumol ebenfalls nach 6-stündiger LPS-Stimulation von J774A.1 Zellen die LPS-induzierte Freisetzung von TNF-α hemmen, nach 18-stündiger LPS-Stimulation war jedoch kein Effekt mehr nachweisbar. Nach 18-stündiger LPS-Stimulation konnte Xanthohumol die LPS-induzierte NOx Freisetzung hemmen, während nach 6 h keine Effekte nachweisbar waren. Weiterhin weisen die Ergebnisse eines Experiments in einem Caco-2 Ko-kulturmodell in vitro darauf hin, das Xanthohumol die intestinale Barriere passiert und von Darm- und Immunzellen gebunden und/ oder aufgenommen wird.

Moreover, if $A$ is of Euclidean type a stratifying system over $A$ has at most $n-2$ regular modules. In this work, we construct a family of stratifying systems of size $n$ with a maximal number of regular elements, over the hereditary path algebra with quiver $\widetilde{\mathbb {A}}_{p,q} $, canonically oriented.

description: We combine experiments with simulations to investigate the fluid-structure interaction of a flexible helical rod rotating in a viscous fluid, under low Reynolds number conditions. Our analysis takes into account the coupling between the geometrically nonlinear behavior of the elastic rod with a non-local hydrodynamic model for the fluid loading. We quantify the resulting propulsive force, as well as the buckling instability of the originally helical filament that occurs above a critical rotation velocity. A scaling analysis is performed to rationalize the onset of this instability. A universal phase diagram is constructed to map out the region of successful propulsion and the corresponding boundary of stability are established. Comparing our results with data for flagellated bacteria suggests that this instability may be exploited in nature for physiological purposes.

description: This paper studies the massive MIMO full-duplex relaying (MM-FDR), where multiple source-destination pairs communicate simultaneously with the help of a common full-duplex relay equipped with very large antenna arrays. Different from the traditional MM-FDR protocol, a general model where sources/destinations are allowed to equip with multiple antennas is considered. In contrast to the conventional MIMO system, massive MIMO must be built with low-cost components which are prone to hardware impairments. In this paper, the effect of hardware impairments is taken into consideration, and is modeled using transmit/receive distortion noises. We propose a low complexity hardware impairments aware transceiver scheme (named as HIA scheme) to mitigate the distortion noises by exploiting the statistical knowledge of channels and antenna arrays at sources and destinations. A joint degree of freedom and power optimization algorithm is presented to further optimize the spectral efficiency of HIA based MM-FDR. The results show that the HIA scheme can mitigate the "ceiling effect" appears in traditional MM-FDR protocol, if the numbers of antennas at sources and destinations can scale with that at the relay.

Improved cloud and snow screening in MAIAC aerosol retrievals using spectral and spatial analysis

Publisher: name: EGU
Year: 2012

description: An improved cloud/snow screening technique in the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm is described. It is implemented as part of MAIAC aerosol retrievals based on analysis of spectral residuals and spatial variability. Comparisons with AERONET aerosol observations and a large-scale MODIS data analysis show strong suppression of aerosol optical thickness outliers due to unresolved clouds and snow. At the same time, the developed filter does not reduce the aerosol retrieval capability at high 1 km resolution in strongly inhomogeneous environments, such as near centers of the active fires. Despite significant improvement, the optical depth outliers in high spatial resolution data are and will remain the problem to be addressed by the application-dependent specialized filtering techniques.

Fossil groups in the Millennium simulation. From the brightest to the faintest galaxies during the past 8 Gyr

description: We investigate the evolution of bright and faint galaxies in fossil and non-fossil groups. We used mock galaxies constructed based on the Millennium run simulation II. We identified fossil groups at redshift zero according to two different selection criteria, and then built reliable control samples of non-fossil groups that reproduce the fossil virial mass and assembly time distributions. The faint galaxies were defined as having r-band absolute magnitudes in the range [-16,-11]. We analysed the properties of the bright and faint galaxies in fossil and non-fossil groups during the past 8 Gyr. We observed that the brightest galaxy in fossil groups is typically brighter and more massive than their counterparts in control groups. Fossil groups developed their large magnitude gap between the brightest galaxies around 3.5 Gyr ago. The brightest galaxy stellar masses of all groups show a notorious increment at that time. By analysing the behaviour of the magnitude gap between the first and the second, third, and fourth ranked galaxies, we found that at earlier times, fossil groups comprised two large brightest galaxies with similar magnitudes surrounded by much fainter galaxies, while in control groups these magnitude gaps were never as large as in fossils. At early times, fossil groups in the faint population were denser than non-fossil groups, then this trend reversed, and finally they became similar at the present day. The mean number of faint galaxies in non-fossil systems increases in an almost constant rate towards later times, while this number in fossil groups reaches a plateau at $z\sim0.6$ that lasts $\sim 2$ Gyr, and then starts growing again more rapidly. The formation of fossil groups is defined at the very beginning of the groups according to their galaxy luminosity sampling, which could be determined by their merging rate at early times.

On the accuracy of double scattering approximation for atmospheric polarization computations

description: Interpretation of multi-angle spectro-polarimetric data in remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols requires fast and accurate methods of solving the vector radiative transfer equation (VRTE). The single and double scattering approximations could provide an analytical framework for the inversion algorithms and are relatively fast; however accuracy assessments of these approximations for the aerosol atmospheres in the atmospheric window channels have been missing. This paper provides such analysis for a vertically homogeneous aerosol atmosphere with weak and strong asymmetry of scattering. In both cases, the double scattering approximation gives a high accuracy result (relative error ?0.2%) only for the low optical path ?10?2. As the error rapidly grows with optical thickness, a full VRTE solution is required for the practical remote sensing analysis. It is shown that the scattering anisotropy is not important at low optical thicknesses neither for reflected nor for transmitted polarization components of radiation.

description: Here we report evidence of a large solar filament eruption on 2013, September 29. This smooth eruption, which passed without any previous flare, formed after a two-ribbon flare and a coronal mass ejection towards Earth. The coronal mass ejection generated a moderate geomagnetic storm on 2013, October 2 with very serious localized effects. The whole event passed unnoticed to flare-warning systems. We have conducted multi-wavelength analyses of the Solar Dynamics Observatory through Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) data. The AIA data on 304, 193, 211, and 94 Åsample the transition region and the corona, respectively, while HMI provides photospheric magnetograms, continuum, and linear polarization data, in addition to the fully inverted data provided by HMI. [...] We have observed a supergranular-sized emergence close to a large filament in the boundary of the active region NOAA11850. Filament dynamics and magnetogram results suggest that the magnetic flux emergence takes place in the photospheric level below the filament. Reconnection occurs underneath the filament between the dipped lines that support the filament and the supergranular emergence. The very smooth ascent is probably caused by this emergence and torus instability may play a fundamental role, which is helped by the emergence.

Take my hand: a guide to seduction in late eighteenth-century opera
Creators: name: Wicke, Karen L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Late eighteenth-century French and Italian culture reflected an obsession with love and relationships through literature, music, and other art forms. Seduction scenes are one type of commentary on relationships that dot the landscape of opera of the time. The operatic seduction scene involves not only the two characters on stage but also a third agent – the music. After situating operatic seduction in the broader context of late eighteenth-century French and Italian culture, this thesis outlines the specific musical vocabulary of seduction that was put to use by composers, enacted on stage, and understood by audiences. This vocabulary is then applied to several case studies in the music of Mozart, who is now viewed as the dominant opera composer of the time, and his contemporaries. Through creative application and manipulation of the musical language of seduction, composers create ambiguous situations and invest the music with dramatic agency, allowing it to support, subvert, or otherwise comment on the seduction occurring on stage.

description: Aerosol spatial distribution in populated mountain areas is very heterogeneous and often characterized by scales of variability of several kilometers. Satellites provide an effective tool to map aerosols on an operational basis, but most of the aerosol products intended for continental/global applications have a coarse spatial resolution (10–18 km). The Multiangle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) is a recently developed algorithm for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which provides Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) at a high resolution of 1 km. We analyze the quality and potential of MAIAC AOD in the Alpine region and we derive high resolution AOD maps for the years 2008 and 2009. Cloudiness and snow in mountain regions occasionally lead to an overestimation of AOD due to unresolved cloud and snow pixel contamination. Therefore, we developed a filter that almost preserves the spatial resolution of the product to ensure the good accuracy of MAIAC AOD for air-quality and climatological applications. The AOD is validated with AERONET measurements in the region and compared to the standard MODIS AOD product (MOD04). Similar accuracies are found for both products (RMSE = 0.05) but with MAIAC providing about 50% more observations at the examined locations, because of its higher spatial resolution and less restrictive filtering. Comparison with ground measurements of aerosol mass (PM10) shows that MAIAC AOD can be used to detect the fine scales of aerosol variability (2–3 km) in the mountains. Finally, AOD maps for the Alpine region demonstrate that topography is correlated with the average aerosol spatial distribution.

description: An initial comparison of aerosol optical thickness over North Africa for year 2007 was performed between the Deep Blue (DB) and Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithms complimeted with MISR and OMI data. The dust retrievals are performed using the model of spheroids. The new MAIAC algorithm has a better sensitivity to the small dust storms than the DB algorithm, but it also has biases in the brightest desert regions indicating the need for improvement. The quarterly averaged AOT values in the Bodele depression and western downwind transport region show a good agreement among MAIAC, MISR and OMI data, while the DB algorithm shows a somewhat different seasonality.

EUKARYOTIC PHYTOPLANKTON COMMUNITY SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMICS AS IDENTIFIED THROUGH GENE EXPRESSION WITHIN A EUTROPHIC ESTUARY
Creators: name: Gong, Weida
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Estuaries are highly dynamic and productive environments. A clear understanding of how phytoplankton respond to spatiotemporal dynamics is necessary to ensuring the health and sustainability of these ecosystems. Over the span of a year, we investigated the interactions between biotic and abiotic factors within the eutrophic Neuse River Estuary (NRE). Through metatranscriptomic sequencing in combination with other water quality measurements, we show that there are different metabolic strategies deployed along the NRE, and nitrogen availability is the main driving factor for such divergence. In the upper estuary, phytoplankton express more transcripts of genes for synthesis of cellular components and carbon metabolism whereas in the lower estuary transcripts allocated to nutrient metabolism and transportation were more highly expressed. We advocate for the use of molecular sequencing approaches to complement coastal water quality monitoring programs as a way to examine microbial community dynamics in response to changing environmental conditions.

description: Transits in the WASP-57 planetary system have been found to occur half an hour earlier than expected. We present ten transit light curves from amateur telescopes, on which this discovery was based, thirteen transit light curves from professional facilities which confirm and refine this finding, and high-resolution imaging which show no evidence for nearby companions. We use these data to determine a new and precise orbital ephemeris, and measure the physical properties of the system. Our revised orbital period is 4.5s shorter than found from the discovery data alone, which explains the early occurrence of the transits. We also find both the star and planet to be larger and less massive than previously thought. The measured mass and radius of the planet are now consistent with theoretical models of gas giants containing no heavy-element core, as expected for the sub-solar metallicity of the host star. Two transits were observed simultaneously in four passbands. We use the resulting light curves to measure the planet's radius as a function of wavelength, finding that our data are sufficient in principle but not in practise to constrain its atmospheric properties. We conclude with a discussion of the current and future status of transmission photometry studies for probing the atmospheres of gas-giant transiting planets.

description: An analysis of the time series of MODIS-based and AERONET aerosol records over Beijing reveals two distinct periods, before and after 2007. The MODIS data from both the Terra and Aqua satellites were processed with the new Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC) algorithm. A comparison of MAIAC and AERONET AOT shows that whereas MAIAC consistently underestimated peak AOT values by 10–20% in the prior period, the bias mostly disappears after mid-2007. Independent analysis of the AERONET dataset reveals little or no change in the effective radii of the fine and coarse fractions and of the Ångström exponent. At the same time, it shows an increasing trend in the single scattering albedo, by ?0.02 in 9 years. As MAIAC was using the same aerosol model for the entire 2000–2010 period, the decrease in AOT bias after 2007 can be explained only by a corresponding decrease of aerosol absorption caused by a reduction in local black carbon emissions. The observed changes correlate in time with the Chinese government's broad measures to improve air quality in Beijing during preparations for the Summer Olympics of 2008.

Within China, Without China: The Sprout of Local Identity in Hong Kong, 1966-1970
Creators: name: Wu, Justin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Conventional wisdom suggests that Hongkongers first developed a sense of local identity in the late-1970s and early-1980s, following Hong Kong’s economic boom and the growing difference in standard of living between Hong Kong and mainland China. This thesis utilizes student articles from the late-1960s to assess how college students in Hong Kong questioned their presumed “Chinese national identity.” This thesis argues that a sense of local identity emerged among the college student population of Hong Kong in late-1960s. At the same time, this thesis suggests that the current language of nationalism and postcolonialism fails to adequately explain how this local identity coexisted with and sometimes rejected the presumed (Chinese) national identity. If in the past Hongkongers saw the British colonial as the racial or cultural “other,” by the late-1960s some started to see China belonging to that category of “other” as well, and some college students attempted to articulate a new identity for themselves.
title: Narrheit ohne klare Geschlechterrollen - wie sich die Geschlechterklischees im "Lalebuch" durch die Torheit der Männer verändern
Creators: name: Radakovits, Sarah
Year: 2022

description: Die einfache Tatsache, dass das Lalebuch von mehr als einem Geschlecht han-delt, gibt bereits Anlass zu gendertheoretischen Untersuchungen. Die Erzählung bedient sich dabei mithilfe der Erzählerfigur an unterschiedlichen Klischees, um die Geschlechter strikt voneinander zu trennen. Diese zunächst eindeutige Zwei-teilung in die Aufgaben für Männer und Frauen schwindet zunehmend mit der Ab-wesenheit der Männer und der anschließenden Narrheit. Besonders der Übergang von Weisheit in Narrheit spielt dabei eine bedeutende Rolle. Die Untersuchung auf inhaltlicher Ebene zeigt, dass diese geschlechtlichen Veränderungen ohne der zu-nehmenden Narrheit womöglich nie oder anders stattgefunden hätten. Dabei wird deutlich, dass soziale Handlungen große Auswirkungen auf eine Gesellschaft ha-ben. Im geschlechtlichen Sinn führen diese Handlungen zu den sozialen Ge-schlechtern (gender), während sie im närrischen Kontext zu einer unkalkulierten Torheit führen. Diese Verbindung aus Geschlecht und Narrheit ermöglicht es, dass sich die Geschlechterungleichheiten dahingehend zunehmend verändern und vor allem verringern. Es entstehen nicht einfach neue Klischees und Trennungen der geschlechtlichen Aufgaben, vielmehr kommt es zu einer Reduzierung der bisher bestehenden ‚Lücke‘ zwischen Männern und Frauen. Dies ermöglicht eine neue Sichtweise, in welcher Frauen und Männer gleichermaßen bedeutend für eine funktionierende Gesellschaft sind.
Understanding plutonism in three dimensions: Field and geochemical relations on the southeast face of El Capitan, Yosemite Valley, CA
Creators: name: Putnam, Roger Lowell
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Detailed mapping of the spatial extents of exposed rock units on the vertical southeast face of El Capitan was completed to determine the chronology and geometry of emplacement. Field relations display a complex intrusive history at the point of interaction between two intrusive suites and two mafic dike swarms. Mapping revealed two sets of aplite dikes with trace element compositions suggestive of derivation from intrusive suite of Yosemite Valley or Buena Vista Crest magmas. Within the El Capitan and Taft Granites, 62 samples from multiple km-tall transects were analyzed for major- and trace-element abundances. Texture analysis was completed on 78 scale photographs of El Capitan Granite. No systemic variations in texture, mineralogy or chemistry were found in either the Taft or El Capitan Granites. These observations are consistent with incremental pluton assembly and are hard to reconcile with models for magma chambers that are envisioned as large, convecting, fractionating bodies.

description: An aerosol component of a new multiangle implementation of atmospheric correction (MAIAC) algorithm is presented. MAIAC is a generic algorithm developed for the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which performs aerosol retrievals and atmospheric correction over both dark vegetated surfaces and bright deserts based on a time series analysis and image-based processing. The MAIAC look-up tables explicitly include surface bidirectional reflectance. The aerosol algorithm derives the spectral regression coefficient (SRC) relating surface bidirectional reflectance in the blue (0.47 ?m) and shortwave infrared (2.1 ?m) bands; this quantity is prescribed in the MODIS operational Dark Target algorithm based on a parameterized formula. The MAIAC aerosol products include aerosol optical thickness and a fine-mode fraction at resolution of 1 km. This high resolution, required in many applications such as air quality, brings new information about aerosol sources and, potentially, their strength. AERONET validation shows that the MAIAC and MOD04 algorithms have similar accuracy over dark and vegetated surfaces and that MAIAC generally improves accuracy over brighter surfaces due to the SRC retrieval and explicit bidirectional reflectance factor characterization, as demonstrated for several U.S. West Coast AERONET sites. Due to its generic nature and developed angular correction, MAIAC performs aerosol retrievals over bright deserts, as demonstrated for the Solar Village Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) site in Saudi Arabia.

title: Robert Walsers Texte für ein scheues Theater
Creators: name: Edelmann, Markus Ernst
Year: 2022

description: Beschäftigt sich diese Masterarbeit ihrem Titel zufolge mit Robert Walsers Texte[n] für ein scheues Theater, so meint der angedeutete allgemeine Begriff ‚Theatertexte‘ sowohl Walsers dramatische Texte als auch seine (Kurz-)Prosatexte, in denen das Theater thematisiert wird. Auch die Präposition ‚für‘ ist auf doppelte Weise zu verstehen: Sie betont einerseits Walsers Absicht, Texte zu schreiben, die auf der Bühne eine konkrete Realisierung finden können, und lässt andererseits sein Bestreben erkennen, schreibend seiner Idealvorstellung von Theater zur Geltung zu verhelfen. Das anspruchsvolle Walser’sche Theaterverständnis darzustellen, ist das wesentliche Anliegen dieser Arbeit. Zu seiner Veranschaulichung dient das in Walsers Werk mehrmals wiederkehrende Motiv junger Menschen, die – in Folge ihrer kindlichen Freude am Theaterspiel und ihrer jugendlichen Theaterfaszination – Schauspieler/innen werden wollen, mit diesem Vorhaben jedoch scheitern, da man ihnen unter anderem vorwirft, zu „schüchtern“ (BA 10, 63) zu sein. Eine auf die Person Walsers bezogene, autobiografische Lesart, die sich hier aufdrängt, stellt nicht das zentrale Interesse dar, vielmehr wird gezeigt, wie sich Walser um die Neuinterpretation eines literarisch traditionsreichen Motivs bemüht. Dass er dabei früher wie heute geltenden Theaterkonventionen widerspricht, soll nicht daran hindern, in der Gegenwart und der jüngeren Vergangenheit nach Beispielen zu suchen, die zeigen, wie ein Theater im Sinne Walsers verwirklicht werden kann. Für Peter Handke etwa verkörpert der 2015 verstorbene Regisseur Luc Bondy „[d]en Satz Robert Walsers […], wonach das wirkliche Theater ‚scheu‘ zu sein habe“ . Die Scheu charakterisiert das von Walser imaginierte Theater auf so genaue und zugleich vieldeutige Weise, dass sie titelgebende Verwendung findet und dieser Arbeit als „Kompaß“ dient. Sie wird nicht so sehr als eine Eigenschaft, sondern als eine (selbst-)bewusste Haltung, als ein ästhetisches Prinzip verstanden, das auf einem Sich-Zurücknehmen, auf dem Mut zur Verweigerung, auf ernster Kindlichkeit, auf Kontemplation etc. beruht. Als solches stellt sie das Theater vor Herausforderungen und eröffnet ihm neue Möglichkeiten.
Choose Your Own Adventure: Interactive Narratives and Attitude Change

description: Most existing research on narratives and attitude change focuses on how traditional narratives can be used as persuasion tools (Green & Brock, 2000). However, interactive narratives - narratives in which the reader decides the direction of the plot - have garnered little empirical attention. In Study 1, participants read a traditional narrative, an interactive narrative, or no narrative (control). The effect of interactive narratives on attitude change was mediated by readers' feelings of responsibility for the character's decisions. Additionally, when readers made decisions based on what they would actually do, identification was increased. In Study 2, readers' decision-making methods were manipulated. Though there were no direct effects of decision-making methods on attitude change, some results from Study 1 were replicated (i.e., responsibility and identification as key factors). Individual differences were also measured; results suggested that high need for cognition and high transportability predicts attitude change for interactive narrative readers.

description: The function of membrane-embedded proteins such as ion channels depends crucially on their conformation. We demonstrate how conformational changes in asymmetric membrane proteins may be inferred from measurements of their diffusion. Such proteins cause local deformations in the membrane, which induce an extra hydrodynamic drag on the protein. Using membrane tension to control the magnitude of the deformations and hence the drag, measurements of diffusivity can be used to infer--- via an elastic model of the protein--- how conformation is changed by tension. Motivated by recent experimental results [Quemeneur et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 111 5083 (2014)] we focus on KvAP, a voltage-gated potassium channel. The conformation of KvAP is found to change considerably due to tension, with its `walls', where the protein meets the membrane, undergoing significant angular strains. The torsional stiffness is determined to be 26.8 kT at room temperature. This has implications for both the structure and function of such proteins in the environment of a tension-bearing membrane.

description: We discuss accuracy of our recently developed RT code SORD using 2 benchmark scenarios published by the IPRT group in 2015. These scenarios define atmospheres with a complicate dependence of scattering and absorption properties over height (profile). Equal step, dh=1km, is assumed in the profiles. We developed subroutines that split such atmospheres into layers of the same optical thickness, dτ. We provide full text of the subroutines with comments in Appendix. The dτ is a step for vertical integration in the method of successive orders. Modification of the input profiles from “equal step over h” to “equal step over τ” changes input for RT simulations. This may cause errors at or above the acceptable level of the measurement uncertainty. We show errors of the RT code SORD for both intensity and polarization. In addition to that, using our discrete ordinates RT code IPOL, we discuss one more IPRT scenario, in which changes in height profile indeed cause unacceptable errors. Clear understanding of source and magnitude of these errors is important, e.g. for the AERONET retrieval algorithm.

description: The successive orders of scattering radiative transfer (RT) codes frequently call the scalar (dot) product function. In this paper, we study performance of some implementations of the dot product in the RT code SORD using 50 scenarios for light scattering in the atmosphere-surface system. In the dot product function, we use the unrolled loops technique with different unrolling factor. We also considered the intrinsic Fortran functions. We show results for two machines: ifort compiler under Windows, and pgf90 under Linux. Intrinsic DOT_PRODUCT function showed best performance for the ifort. For the pgf90, the dot product implemented with unrolling factor 4 was the fastest.The RT code SORD together with the interface that runs all the mentioned tests are publicly available from ftp://maiac.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/skorkin/SORD_IP_16B (current release) or by email request from the corresponding (first) author.
