The North-eastern part of Italy is known to be one of the most rainy regions in Europe. In this paper three extreme events are analysed, using a multi-sensor observing system including a weather radar and a dense telemetric network of surface stations, recording precipitation, wind, temperature and relative humidity. The cases examined comprise two long lasting rainfall events impacting two dis...

In regions featuring strong convective activity (such as the Congo Basin, CB), turbulent mixing in planetary boundary layer strongly affects water budget. this study, we use a process-based evaluation to assess performance of Rossby Centre Regional Climate Model (RCM) RCA4 simulating September–November CB rainfall, under conditions and weak mixing. To regard, results from two different versions...

We examined the effects of low stretch compression bandaging (CB) alone or in combination with manual lymph drainage (MLD) in 38 female patients with arm lymphedema after treatment for breast cancer. After CB therapy for 2 weeks (Part I), the patients were allocated to either CB or CB + MLD for 1 week (Part II). Arm volume and subjective assessments of pain, heaviness and tension were measured....

BACKGROUND Plain water (PW) should be the main beverage consumed by the population. However, consumption of caloric beverages (CB) has increased considerably worldwide. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the association between CB and PW intake in Mexican adults with a low socioeconomic status (SES). METHODS In a cross-sectional design, beverage consumption was evaluated with a 24-h beve...

The aim of the study is to characterize long-term variability low-level cloud base heights (CBH) in Poland years 1971–2020. Data were used from six weather stations belonging Institute Meteorology and Water Management – National Research (IMWM-NRI), where CBH was first measured using IWO device and, since 1990s, a ceilometer. analysis allowed for data eight observation periods (0000, 0300, 0600...

This paper considers cell-free massive MIMO (cfm-MIMO) for downlink ultra reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC). At the time of writing, cfm-MIMO has only been considered in long blocklength regime (LBR), whose throughput is determined by Shannon capacity with interference treated as Gaussian noise. Conjugate beamforming (CB) often used it requires local channel state information (CSI)...

Abstract. Two long-lasting thunderstorm ground enhancement (TGE) events were registered at the Milešovka meteorological observatory in Czechia (50.55∘ N, 13.93∘ E; 837 m altitude) on 23 April 2018, during linearly organized thunderstorms. intervals of increased photon counts detected by a plastic scintillator, respectively lasting 70 and 25 min reaching 31 % 48 above background radiation levels...

Purpose: To compare the work-related and lifestyle factors that support the musculoskeletal health of city bus (CB) drivers and long-distance bus (LDB) drivers, and to find solutions for improving drivers’ health. Methods: The participants were 62 bus drivers (aged 34-64 years). Data were gathered using a questionnaire, interviews and a workshop. Altogether 27 CB and 35 LDB drivers responded to...

[1] Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs)-very short, intense bursts of electrons, positrons, and energetic photons originating from terrestrial thunderstorms-have been detected with satellite instruments. TGF and Energetic Thunderstorm Rooftop Array (TETRA), an array of NaI(Tl) scintillators at Louisiana State University, has now been used to detect similar bursts of 50 keV to over 2 MeV gamma-...
