ASSIMILATION OF POLARIMETRIC RADAR DATA IN SIMULATION OF A SUPERCELL STORM WITH A VARIATIONAL APPROACH AND THE WRF MODEL

Assimilation of Polarimetric Radar Data in Simulation of a Supercell Storm with a Variational Approach and the WRF Model

Polarimetric radar data (PRD) have potential to be used in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models to improve convective-scale weather forecasts.However, thus far only a few studies have been undertaken in this research IRON FACTORS -B12 direction.To assimilate PRD in NWP models, a forward operator, also called a PRD simulator, is needed to estab

Data Acquisition Filtering Focused on Optimizing Transmission in a LoRaWAN Network Applied to the WSN Forest Monitoring System

Developing innovative systems and operations to monitor forests and send alerts in dangerous situations, such as fires, has become, over the years, a necessary task to protect forests.In this work, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is employed for forest data acquisition to identify abrupt anomalies when a fire ignition starts.Even though a low-power

Bilateral Primary Lacrimal Gland Lymphoma

Lymphoma involving the lacrimal gland is rare.Most of the cases are unilateral at presentation.In this case, we present the diagnostic evaluation of a patient with bilateral lacrimal gland lymphoma.At presentation, the patient had inferomedial eccentric proptosis of the right eye.The patient also had limitation in the upper and lateral gaze in this

Lack of N2-gene amplification on the Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 assay and potential novel causative mutations: A case series from Auckland, New Zealand

We describe three cases with viral strains that demonstrate impaired N2-gene detection on the Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 assay, with Optical Audio Solutions two previously undescribed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): C29197T and G29227T.We propose that these SNPs are likely responsible since they are in close proximity to the previously
