Abstract In this paper I present two ways in which climate modelers use general circulation models for exploratory purposes. The complexity of Earth’s system makes it difficult to predict precisely how lower-order dynamics will interact over time drive higher-order dynamics. same issues arise complex built simulate behavior like the Community Earth Systems Model (CESM). argue that as a result c...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to develop an approach to evaluate the quality of terminological annotations on the value set (ie, enumerated value domain) components of the common data elements (CDEs) in the context of clinical research using both unified medical language system (UMLS) semantic types and groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CDEs of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) C...

This paper proposes a CDE-MPR methodology designed to forecast and analyze container throughput volumes. The proposed methodology includes: a container throughput module which considers both interactions among ports and other influence factors, a demand demand-oriented module which provides additional information and chance events effect had on the maritime industries. It is applied to forecast...

AIM To compare the intraoperative performance and postoperative outcome after microcoaxial torsional phacoemulsification using either a Kelman or balanced phaco tip. METHODS Cataracts were treated using 2.2 mm microcoaxial torsional phacoemulsification using either a 45-degree mini-flared Kelman(®) or a 45-degree Intrepid(®) Balanced phaco tip. Intraoperative measurements included total ultra...

BACKGROUND We aimed to establish a completely noninvasive technique to assess coronary artery atherosclerosis in living mice using proximal to middle left coronary artery (LCA) velocity ratio as assessed with color Doppler echocardiography (CDE). METHODS AND RESULTS Three groups of apolipoprotein E/low-density lipoprotein receptor double-knockout (apoE/LDLr dko) mice 10, 40, and 80 weeks of a...

Endocytosis and postendocytic sorting of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is important for the regulation of both their cell surface density and signaling profile. Unlike the mechanisms of clathrin-dependent endocytosis (CDE), the mechanisms underlying the control of GPCR signaling by clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) remain largely unknown. Among the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors ...

Various organizations offer online continuing dental education (CDE) courses. While previous investigations focused on objective measures to determine the quality of the courses, this exploratory study evaluates the participants' experience with them. We surveyed 436 past course participants from nine online CDE courses (courses provided by six organizations) regarding their experience with the...

This paper proposes a design of voltage sensor with new controllable delay element (CDE) having high linearity and high resolution. The proposed CDE uses power supply node to measure the voltage value. However, the delay increases exponentially at low voltage level. In this paper we add a PMOS header in parallel with the conventional CDE to compensate the delay degradation at lower voltage. We ...

Predicting the fate and movement of contaminant in soils and groundwater is essential to assess and reduce the risk of soil contamination and groundwater pollution. Reaction processes of contaminant often decreased monotonously with depth. Time-dependent input sources usually occurred at the inlet of natural or human-made system such as radioactive waste disposal site. This study presented a on...

This report introduces a method for the solution of the Convection-Diffusion equations (CDE) that combines Genetic Programming with Stochastic Bernstein Interpolation. Significantly, it is being used to solve a problem that has resisted analysis for a long time using other methods. Although the method in this report solves the one-dimensional CDE which has also been solved analytically and opti...
