IMPACTS OF ASSIMILATING CYGNSS SATELLITE OCEAN-SURFACE WIND ON PREDICTION OF LANDFALLING HURRICANES WITH THE HWRF MODEL

Impacts of Assimilating CYGNSS Satellite Ocean-Surface Wind on Prediction of Landfalling Hurricanes with the HWRF Model

This study examines the impacts of assimilating ocean-surface winds derived from the NASA Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) on improving the short-range numerical simulations and forecasts of landfalling hurricanes using the NCEP operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model.A series of data assimilation expe

Case report: Development of central precocious puberty in a girl with late-diagnosed simple virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia complicated with Williams syndrome

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and Williams Syndrome (WS; MIM # 194050) are distinct genetic conditions characterized by unique clinical features.21-Hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD; Sectional Component MIM #201910), the most common form of CAH, arises from mutations in the CYP21A2 gene, resulting in virilization of the external genitalia in af

A Novel Bias-TSP Algorithm for Maritime Patrol

This work aims to develop a search planning strategy to be used by a drone equipped with an inverse synthetic-aperture radar (ISAR) Cooktop Burner Gasket and an electro-optical sensor.After describing the specifics of our maritime scenario, we discuss four methodologies that can be used to find vessels involved in illegal fishing activities as quic

The shell-boring polychaete worm Polydora websteri, also known as blister worm, is a pest species that infests the shells of several commercially important shellfish species, including those of the oysters Crassostrea virginica and C.gigas.Historical records indicate that infestations of blister worm have impacted shellfish culture worldwide for ov
