The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is emerging as a new important species for studying brain mechanisms and its deficits. Focusing on selected CNS disorders (brain cancer, epilepsy and anxiety) and using them as examples, we discuss the value of zebrafish models in translational neuroscience, and their contribution to neuroimaging, circuit-level and...
Slowly and half-heartedly the people of America have come to atone for past neglect of a poet who, under painful circumstances, produced the most distinctive and original contributions to American literature. They realize that the follies of his unfortunate life can be put aside and the weight of criticisms let...
Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-,
24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at
Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool
seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS
surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...
A procedure for model-assisted climate impact assessment is
developed. The approach combines data from observations and
atmospheric general circulation models (GCNs), and provides the basis
for a potentially valuable means of using information derived from
GCMs for climate impact assessments on local scales.
The first component of this procedure is...
Forecasts of the likelihood of occurrence of various
amounts of precipitation are very important, since
excessive precipitation amounts over relatively short time
periods can have adverse effects on public safety and
economic efficiency, As a result, forecasters at the
National Weather Service Forecast Office in San Antonio,
Texas were asked...
