Comment on ‘‘A Modular Framework for Modeling Unsaturated Soil Hydraulic Properties Over the Full Moisture Range” by Weber et al.

Comment on study by Backman et al

BfArM acknowledges the submission of the manuscript by Backman et al. (2005) concerning the occurrence of breast cancer associated with Mirena use. The manuscript was scheduled for publication in October 2005 and meanwhile has been published (Backman T. et al. Use of the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system and breast cancer. Obstet and Gynecol 2005;106:813-7). Unfortunately, the study ...

Comment on Article by Celeux Et Al

The authors point to several problems occurring if DIC = 2D(θ) − D(θ) is applied to missing data models: (i) the focus of the model depends on whether the missing data z are considered as observations or as parameters or integrated out; (ii) the parameter θ may be non-identifiable; (iii) θ can be a poor estimator of θ. They then investigate modifications of DIC mainly based on estimates other t...

Interactive comment on “Tropospheric NO2 concentrations over West Africa are influenced by climate zone and soil moisture variability” by Ajoke R. Onojeghuo et al

“This paper is does not make a persuasive case that it has learned something new or that it has demonstrated any sort of useful link between soil moisture and NO2 emissions. “ We have done a more extensive search of literature and can confirm that our findings are relevant to what is known of the relationship between soil moisture and NO2 over West Africa. Our discussion section has now been re...

Determination of unsaturated hydraulic conductivity by internal drainage assuming a uniform soil water profile

Comment on Yuan Et Al

It has come to our attention that the work of Yuan et al. [1] is being represented as definitive regarding the existence of a particular nonstrange, isoscalar, spin three dibaryon, d * , which we [2] , among others [3, 4, 5, 6, 8] , have proposed exists. We therefore wish to comment on this paper and its relation to ours and those of others. In our work [2] , the d * dibaryon is constructed in ...
