The ERA5 global reanalysis has been compared against a high-resolution regional (COSMO-REA6) by means of scale-separation diagnostics based on 2d Haar discrete wavelet transforms. presented method builds upon existing methods and enables the assessment bias, error skill for individual spatial scales, separately. A new score (evaluated random chance) Symmetric Bounded Efficiency are introduced. ...

Small satellites have challenging size weight and power requirements for communications modules, which we address here by using chip-scale light-emitting diode (LED) transmitters single-photon avalanche receivers. Data rates of 100 Mb/s been demonstrated at a sensitivity ?55.2 dBm, simulations with supporting experimental work indicate ranges in excess 1 km are feasible directional gain up to 5...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop valid and reliable instruments to assess priority psychosocial problems and functioning among adult survivors of systematic violence from Burma living in Thailand. METHODS The process involved four steps: 1) instrument drafting and piloting; 2) reliability and validity testing; 3) instrument revision; and 4) retesting revised instrument. R...

A novel assessment scale, the multi-dimensional scale for pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (MSPA), is reported. Existing assessment scales are intended to establish each diagnosis. However, the diagnosis by itself does not always capture individual characteristics or indicate the level of support required, since inter-individual differen...

In hierarchical network where a macro cell includes multiple small scale cells such as micro, femto cells and Wi-Fi hot-spots, preventing unnecessary handover is one of the most important matters due to so many inter-tier handovers. From the observation that there are many temporary visitors who stay in a small scale cell with short residence time, some recent handover schemes propose to delay ...

A time-scale invariant burst-detection algorithm for single-unit spike train is described. This burst analysis is an auto-adaptive algorithm that uses interand intra-burst intervals for identifying the burst itself. By using a self-adaptive algorithm, a burst is de$ned by the characteristic $ring patterns within and between bursts. Bursts are detected by auto-adaptive method when the inter-burs...
