[1] We explore a strategy for long-range hydrologic forecasting that uses ensemble climate model forecasts as input to a macroscale hydrologic model to produce runoff and streamflow forecasts at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for water management. Monthly ensemble climate model forecasts produced by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/Climate Prediction Center global spec...

Of the many palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK) conditions, only Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) and Haim-Munk syndrome (HMS) are associated with premature periodontal destruction. Although both PLS and HMS share the cardinal features of PPK and severe periodontitis, a number of additional findings are reported in HMS including arachnodactyly, acro-osteolysis, atrophic changes of the nails, and a ra...

Introduction: Hyper Motor Seizures [HMS] are characterized by complex high amplitude movements involving proximal segments of the body resulting violent and inappropriate to the context. Objective: To review the possible ictal onset zones related to HMS and the cortical areas that would be covered if invasive recording are needed. Development: Semiology can predict the localization of ictal ons...

Wildfires have a profound impact upon the biosphere and our society in general. They cause loss of life, lead to the destruction of personal property and natural resources, and alter the chemistry of the atmosphere. In response to the concern over the consequences of wildland fire and to support the fire management community, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National ...

Early life events influence vulnerability to psychiatric illness. This has been modelled in rats and it has been demonstrated that different durations of maternal separation shape adult endocrine and behavioural stress reactivity. One system through which maternal separation may act is the locus coeruleus (LC)-norepinephrine system that regulates emotional arousal. Here we demonstrate that diff...

BACKGROUND Corneal biometric parameters can possibly be influenced by high myopia (HM). The influence of HM on corneal thickness (CT), epithelial thickness (ET) has not yet been clearly established. The aim of this study is to observe ET, CT and axial length (AL) differences between in normal and subjects with HMs and to investigate factors influencing the corneal biometric parameters and AL, s...

Heavy metals (HMs) are common components of landfill leachates and piggery wastewater, which correspond with possible applications of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). For this reason, the study of the fate and effect of HMs on the anammox process is of utmost importance. In this work, the effect of several HMs on the specific anammox activity (SAA) was studied. For this purpose, the ...

We analyze a model of interactive unawareness introduced by Heifetz, Meier and Schipper (HMS). We consider two axiomatizations for their model, which capture different notions of validity. These axiomatizations allow us to compare the HMS approach to both the standard (S5) epistemic logic and two other approaches to unawareness: that of Fagin and Halpern and that of Modica and Rustichini. We sh...
