A comprehensive framework is developed to assess the flood types, their spatiotemporal characteristics and causes based on the rainfall statistics, antecedent flow conditions, and atmospheric teleconnections. The Missouri River Basin (MRB) is used as a case study for the application of the framework. Floods are defined using the multivariate characteristics of annual peak, volume, duration, and...

The relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the Netherlands. For a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. A Generalized Additive Model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

BACKGROUND Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a heterogeneous condition characterized by multiple joint contractures at birth. Greater movements in the trunk and pelvis during walking have been observed in children with AMC using orthoses compared to those wearing only shoes. This study investigated gait dynamics in children with AMC and identified compensatory mechanisms that accommod...

The global hydrological cycle is predicted to be intensified under the warming climate, with more extreme precipitation events and longer dry spell in between. Here, we evaluated how (EPEs) antecedent (dry-EPEs) wet (wet-EPEs) water conditions influence carbon exchange along gradient of arid, semi-arid, sub-humid ecosystems based on eddy covariance datasets. After EPEs, ecosystem respiration gr...

We compared the effects of two antecedent strategies commonly used in early childhood settings to increase compliance during activity transitions: a warning condition, in which children were informed of the transition 2 min before it began, and a condition in which children were allowed access to a toy during the transition. Both antecedent interventions were ineffective when implemented alone;...

A modern statement about the structural relationship between an ellipsis site and its antecedent runs as follows. an elided XP must have a syntactically identical antecedent XP’, modulo traces This is quite a bizzare condition. Why should some parts of structure count for being identical, and others not? Of all the possible relations between two structures, why does this one describe the ellips...
