Biophysically-based computational models provide a tool for integrating and explaining experimental data, observations, and hypotheses. Computational models of the pulmonary circulation have evolved from minimal and efficient constructs that have been used to study individual mechanisms that contribute to lung perfusion, to sophisticated multi-scale and -physics structure-based models that pred...

The credibility of regional climate change predictions for the 21st century depends on the ability of climate models to simulate global and regional circulations in a realistic manner. To investigate this issue, a large set of global coupled climate model experiments prepared for the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been studied. First we compared 20...

abstract in recent years, dust storm in western part of iran, especially fars province, caused various problems for people. the aim of this research is the identification of circulation patterns producing dust storms over fars province. for this purpose, firstly the code number 6 of current weather at 12 gmt belongs to 8 synoptic stations during the statistical period of 1992-2003 has been extr...
