A Doppler radar emulator was developed to simulate the expected mean returns from scanning radar, including pulse-to-pulse variability associated with changes in viewing angle and atmospheric structure. Based on the user’s configuration, the emulator samples the numerical simulation output to produce simulated returned power, equivalent radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, and Doppler spectrum...

The University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) and National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) C-band Doppler weather radar was recently upgraded to dual-polarimetric capabilities. The upgraded radar is called ARMOR (Advanced Radar for Meteorological and Operational Research) and operates within the UAH/NSSTC STORMnet (Severe Thunderstorm Observations and Research Meteorological network). ...

Abstract Background: Epidemiologic studies have shown the relationship of maternal hemoglobin level and abnormal findings in uterine Doppler sonography with pregnancy- related complications. In this study, we evaluated the relationship of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry findings and hemoglobin level with the outcomes of pregnancy in women with preeclampsi...

urinary tract infections are common in children. the available gold standard method for diagnosis, tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scan is expensive and exposes patients to considerable amount of radiation. this study was performed to compare and assess the efficacy of power doppler ultrasound versus tc-99m dmsa scan for diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis. a quasi experimental study was conducted...

Many accuracy measures have been proposed in the past for time series forecasting comparisons. However, many of these measures suffer from one or more issues such as poor resistance to outliers and scale dependence. In this paper, while summarising commonly used accuracy measures, a special review is made on the symmetric mean absolute percentage error. Moreover, a new accuracy measure called t...

We identify three Kepler transiting planets, Kepler-7b, Kepler-12b, and Kepler-41b, whose orbital phase-folded light curves are dominated by planetary atmospheric processes including thermal emission and reflected light, while the impact of non-atmospheric (i.e. gravitational) processes, including beaming (Doppler boosting) and tidal ellipsoidal distortion, is negligible. Therefore, those syste...

Part 1 of this paper [Appl. Opt. 14, 666 (1975)] dealt with the cw radar and analog communications uses of three-frequency nonlinear heterodyne detection. In this paper, we evaluate the technique for a number of specific pulsed radar and digital communications applications. Both the vacuum channel and the lognormal turbulent atmospheric channel are considered. It is found that the advantages of...

The impact of potential error sources on geocoded products has been investigated with respect to the high resolution capabilities of the TerraSAR-X sensor. Datum shift parameters, maps, digital terrain and surface models have been identified as external error sources. The accuracy of the geocoded products depends heavily on the quality and availability of this information, which underlies regio...

background: fetal color doppler is important for evaluation of hypoxia in intrauterine growth restriction (iugr) fetus. objective: in this study we compare fetal and maternal color doppler with blood gas analysis to detect fetal acidosis. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study we evaluated 100 hospitalized patients with iugr for comparison of color doppler results with arterial bl...
