Passive Microwave Radiometry has provided an important contribution to global Numerical Weather Prediction and climatology since the mid-seventies using data using instrumentation such as AMSUA&B and MHS. It is now widely considered that further improvements can be made by addressing the uncertainties associated with ice clouds for which there is a lack of suitable global observations. Sub mill...

In this paper we describe an artistic response to a collection of natural history museum artefacts, developed as part of a residency with an arts organisation. Drawing on a critical literature in studies of material culture, the work incorporated data sonification, image audification, field recordings and created a number of instruments for exploring geological artefacts and meterological data ...

In Erfurt, Germany, unfavorable geography and emissions from coal burning lead to very high ambient pollution (up to about 4000 micrograms/m3 SO2 in 1980-89). To assess possible health effects of these exposures, total daily mortality was obtained for this same period. A multivariate model was fitted, including corrections for long-term fluctuations, influenza epidemics, and meterology, before ...

INTRODUCTION Modern medicine employs a wide variety of instruments with different physiological effects and measurements. Periodic verifications are routinely used in legal metrology for industrial measuring instruments. The correct operation of electrosurgical generators is essential to ensure patient's safety and management of the risks associated with the use of high and low frequency electr...

The largest obstacle to managing satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is accurately forecasting the neutral mass densities that appreciably impact atmospheric drag. Empirical thermospheric models are often used estimate but they struggle forecast during geomagnetic storms when highly variable. Physics-based thus increasingly turned for their ability describe dynamical evolution of densities. How...

cludes an elucidation of the common surgical conditions in that area, indications for operation, discussion of prognosis, and an excellent section answering those questions most frequently asked by patients. While intended primarily for the lay public, this book obviously is of value to anyone dealing with patients. It might also, in a general way and by bringing together loose ends, be of valu...

Introduction: Modern medicine employs a wide variety of instruments with different physiological effects and measurements. Periodic verifications are routinely used in legal metrology for industrial measuring instruments. The correct operation of electrosurgical generators is essential to ensure patient’s safety and management of the risks associated with the use of high and low frequency ele...

Introduction Nowadays, more than 10,000 different types of medical devices can be found in hospitals. This way, medical electrical equipment is being employed in a wide variety of fields in medical sciences with different physiological effects and measurements. Hospitals and medical centers must ensure that their critical medical devices are safe, accurate, reliable and operational at the requi...
