Recent advances in the performance of Outdoor Seating Set CCD detectors have enabled a high time resolution study of the high latitude upper thermosphere with Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPIs) to be performed.10-s integration times were used during a campaign in April 2004 on an FPI located in northern Sweden in the auroral oval.The FPI is used to
BackgroundHeadaches are common complaints in the emergency department (ED) and have raised concern about acute medication overuse.Chinese medicine is a major complementary and alternative medicine in China and effective for headaches.This study aims to summarize characteristics of headache patients at EDs and the utilization of Chinese medicine for
This paper reviews the evolution of planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterization schemes that have been used in the operational version of the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model since Cleaning 2011.Idealized simulations are then used to evaluate the effects of different PBL schemes on hurricane structure and intensity.The or
In this study, a morphological revision was conducted of Agroecotettix Bruner, a group of grasshoppers inhabiting open xeric desert scrub, shrublands, and plains, spanning central Texas to central Mexico.The genus was originally described by Bruner in 1908, with two taxa added by Hebard in 1922.Agroecotettix has remained unrevised despite numerous
Abstract In this study, a soft-tissue-anchored, percutaneous port used as a mechanical continence-preserving valve in reservoir ileo- and urostomies was functionally and morphologically evaluated in eight dogs.During follow-up, the skin failed to attach to the implant, but the intestine inside the stoma port appeared to be attached to the mesh.Afte
