The dangers of plastic "champagne" corks With the rising cost of cork there are now many types of sparkling wines, such as hock and Moselle, which have a ribbed plastic cork which is securely fastened by a metal band and twisted wire in the conventional way.

Subjective decisions in hydrologic model calibration can have drastic impacts on our understanding of basin processes and simulated fluxes. Here, we present a multicase approach to determine three pillars an appropriate hydrological configuration, i.e. data length, spin-up period, spatial resolution, using spatially distributed meso-scale (mHM) together with dynamically dimensioned search (DDS)...
