Measurements of the global cloud vertical structure (CVS) are critical to better understanding effects CVS on climate. Current algorithms based OCO-2 have be combined with top height products from CALIPSO and CloudSat, which no longer available after these two satellites left A-Train in 2018. In this paper, we derive a machine learning-based algorithm using only oxygen A-band hyperspectral meas...

Tropical cyclones entering coastal areas adversely affect southern China. However, changes in the frequency of tropical affecting west China remain unclear. Our study reveals possible impact thermal forcing anomaly over southeast Tibetan Plateau (TP) on Guangxi formed within 120° E during boreal summer. Further analysis indicates that cooling TP is accompanied by local descending motions southe...

Early life stress may precipitate psychopathology, at least in part, by influencing amygdala function. Converging evidence across species suggests that links between childhood stress and amygdala function may be dependent upon hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. Using data from college-attending non-Hispanic European-Americans (n=308) who completed the Duke Neurogenetics Study, ...

Introduction: The activity of Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis is increased following inflammation due to its closed relation with immune system. This axis indicates an increased secretion of ACTH, and corticosterone during acute inflammation while little is known about its activity during chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we measured the products...

Background: Human platelet antigens (HPAs) are part of platelet GP complexes have the potential to contribute to the autoantibody production. Moreover, these antigens demonstrate different patterns of distribution on different ethnic groups and variation in some types of diseases. This study was objected to determine the incidence of HPA-1 to -5 and -15 polymorphisms in the Iranians suffering f...

The rainfall in landfalling TC is not always correlated with the storm intensity. Some weak TCs could bring extremely heavy during and after landfall. Such extreme events are very challenging to operational forecasts often lead disasters affected regions. Tropical Rumbia (2018) made its landfall Shanghai intensity but led long-lasting increasing East China. asymmetric evolution of was diagnosed...

This study investigates anomalous ozone distributions over cloudy areas in Nimbus-7 (N7) and Earth-Probe (EP) TOMS version-7 data and analyzes the causes for ozone anomaly formation. A 5 •-longitude by 5 •-latitude region is defined to contain a Positive Ozone Anomaly (POA) or Negative Ozone Anomaly (NOA) if the correlation coefficient 5 between total ozone and reflectivity is ≥0.5 or ≤−0.5. Th...

Laparoscopic right colectomy (LRC) for colon cancer became a well-established technique in the surgical armamentarium of colorectal operations [1]. It has well proved advantages: reduction in postoperative pain, time to return of bowel function, and length of hospital stay. Different studies have also proven its safety in colorectal adenocarcinoma, with equivalence in nodal harvest, recurrence ...
