The YSU PBL scheme is a revised vertical diffusion package with a nonlocal turbulent mixing coefficient in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Based on the study of Noh et al (2004, BLM) and accumulated results of the behavior of the Hong and Pan algorithm, a revised vertical diffusion algorithm that is suitable for weather forecasting and climate prediction models is developed. The major ingre...

OBJECTIVE To assess the public's preferences regarding potential privacy threats from devices or services storing health-related personal data. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pan-European survey based on a stated-preference experiment for assessing preferences for electronic health data storage, access, and sharing. RESULTS We obtained 20 882 survey responses (94 606 preferences) from 27 EU member...

This paper clarifies the concepts and relationship between image fusion rules and operators based on wavelet transform. According to wavelet decomposition characteristic, a new strategy of calculating spatial frequency is put forward. Fusion experiments are performed on QuickBird panchromatic (PAN)and multispectral (MS) images based on orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelet, in which a method of c...

The present study aims at investigation of the performance of nanofibrous filter, containing magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, for bioaerosols removal from the air stream. It synthesizes two types of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN/MgO nanofibers via electrospinning technique, and investigates the antibacterial properties of the produced nanofibers through disk diffusion. The air containing ...

polyacrylonitril (pan)-supported chitosan (cs) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the cs with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (apteos) via sol-gel method. pervaporative performances of the cs-sio2/pan membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. from sem cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores were found in...
