A hindcast of typical extratropical storm surge occurring in the Bohai Sea in Oct. 2003 is performed using a three-dimensional storm surge model system based on Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM). The surface winds are obtained from the WRF data set. Some preliminary sensitivity studies of the influential factors affecting the storm surge simulation in the Bohai Sea are studied with the ...

Thyroid storm is an endocrine emergency which is characterized by multiple organ failure due to severe thyrotoxicosis, often associated with triggering illnesses. Early suspicion, prompt diagnosis and intensive treatment will improve survival in thyroid storm patients. Because of its rarity and high mortality, prospective intervention studies for the treatment of thyroid storm are difficult to ...

introduction thyroid storm is a rare complication of graves' disease that can carry a poor prognosis. in order to prevent major complications, thyroid storm must be quickly identified in patients and treatment must be promptly implemented. medical treatment is usually initiated with antithyroid medications, such as propylthiouracil (ptu), methimazole, and beta-blockers. however, some patients m...

dust storms are catastrophic natural disasters that beside other disasters frequency occur in the arid and semiaridregions worldwide. drought occurrence, climate aridity, dryness of the hamoun lake cause strong winds to below.these conditions have been prepared for dust storms in sistan region. the damages to sistan society have beenmeasured using different criteria. the result shows that, peak...

dust storms are known as hazardous problems in western part of iran. iraq is one of the main sources for dust storm arriving to the western part of iran. the radial basis function network model (rbfn) has been used to assess wind erosion hazards in the source area of dust storms over several western iranian cities. normalized difference salinity index (ndsi) was used to determine the changes in...

Neurons play an important role in the processing of information in the brain. Many models are developed over the years that exhibit the dynamical behaviour of these neurons. The complex Hodgkin-Huxley model is widely the most used model in computational science, while the Hindmarsh-Rose model is nowadays a very good and relatively more simple model of a neuron. Furthermore, an important propert...

The plasmaspheric mass density at L ' 2 was monitored by two IGPP/LANL ground magnetometer stations during the magnetic storm on September 25, 1998. Even at this low latitude the plasma density dropped significantly to ' 1/4 of the pre-storm value. The total electron content (TEC) inferred by GPS signals also shows a sizable decrease during the storm. The observations suggest that the convectio...

519 Biologically relevant information in acoustic signals often is present in its temporal structure. For example, the temporal relationships of particular acoustic elements are important for identifying human speech signals1, the proximity of a target in bat sonar2, songs in birds3, and calls in anuran amphibians4 (frogs and toads) and crickets5. In the sensory periphery, these signals are rep...
