Scale Time Offset Robust Modulation (STORM) [1]– [3] is a high bandwidth waveform design that adds time-scale to embedded reference modulations using only time-delay [4]. In an environment where each user has a specific delay and scale, identification of the user with the highest signal power and that user’s phase is facilitated by the STORM processor. Both of these parameters are required in a...

A new polarimetrically-tuned Z-R estimator of the formZ = aR is evaluated where the coefficient ‘a’ is continuously estimated based on polarimetric radar data of Zdr and Kdp. Six storm events from the TRMM/LBA (Brazil) and TEFLUN-B (Florida) are analyzed using radar data from the NCAR/SPOL radar and a network of gages especially deployed for these two measurement campaigns. For storm total accu...

PURPOSE ORM1-like 3 (ORMDL3) belongs to a highly conserved protein family which is anchored as transmembrane protein in the endoplasmic reticulum. Gasdermin B (GSDMB) is adjacent to ORMDL3 on chromosome 17q21.2 and belongs to the gasdermin-domain containing the protein family (GSDM family). Recent reports suggest that GSDMB and ORMDL3 are associated with asthma in several populations. However, ...

The impact of CO 2 -induced global warming on the intensities of strong hurricanes is investigated using the GFDL regional high-resolution hurricane prediction system. The large-scale initial conditions and boundary conditions for the regional model experiments, including SSTs, are derived from control and transient CO 2 increase experiments with the GFDL R30-resolution global coupled climate m...

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

This study was performed to compare storm surges simulated by the operational storm surges/tide forecast system (STORM : Storm surges/Tide Operational Model) of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) with observations from 30 coastal tidal stations during nine typhoons that occurred between 2005 and 2007. The results (bias) showed that for cases of overestimation (or underestimation), st...

A limited number of studies have examined convective mode and severe weather occurrence (e.g., Trapp et al. 2005, Gallus et al. 2008), but a comprehensive examination of the relationship between convective mode and the near-storm environment was lacking in formal literature. Therefore, an ambitious effort to develop a multifaceted severe storms database began at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC...

Determination of maximum rivers flow resulted from surface runoff in watersheds without adequate hydrometric records is based on rainfall-runoff models. The short duration rainfalls are one of the basic elements to apply these models. The access to quantitative and intrinsic worth storm data is restricted around the word and in Iran too. There are several empirical and statistical methods to es...
