Improved meteorology and surface fluxes in mesoscale modelling using adjusted initial vertical soil moisture profiles
2018
The Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is being used for different and diverse purposes, ranging from atmospheric and dispersion of pollutants forecasting to agricultural meteorology and ecological modelling as well as for hydrological purposes, among others. The current paper presents a comprehensive assessment of the RAMS forecasts, comparing the results not only with observed standard surface meteorological variables, measured at FLUXNET stations and other portable and permanent weather stations located over the region of study, but also with non-standard observed variables, such as the surface energy fluxes, with the aim of evaluating the surface energy budget and its relation …
Performance of DEMETER calibration for rainfall forecasting purposes: Application to the July–August Sahelian rainfall
2008
International audience; This work assesses and compares the skill of direct and model-output-statistics (MOS) calibrated hindcasts of the July–August rainfall amounts for the dry period 1980–2000 over the Sahel issued from the Development of a European Multimodel Ensemble System for Seasonal to Interannual Prediction (DEMETER) experiment, with the aim to highlight among the simulated parameters, i.e., those potentially relevant for rainfall forecasts purposes. Three approaches were used: the DEMETER (1) direct rainfall, (2) MOS-calibrated rainfall, and (3) MOS-calibrated atmospheric dynamics and energy. Canonical correlation analyses (CCA) were employed in the two latter approaches to calib…

ɛ-type contribution to baryon asymmetry from colored Higgs triplets
1991
In scenarios where the cosmological baryon asymmetry is generated in the decay of heavy colored Higgs triplets at the one-loop level (at least two triplets are needed), it is shown that in addition to the conventional triangle loop ({epsilon}{prime}-type effect), a new kind of diagram must be considered. This new type of diagram has its origin in the mixing of the two Higgs fields ({epsilon}-type effect). The mixing of the two Higgs fields violates {ital CP} provided they have at least two common decay channels. For small mixing angles, the new contribution can be bigger than the conventional one.
Analysis of the eigenfrequencies of the basalt machine parts by the FEM
2021
The aim of this paper was to carry out a theoretical (numerical) scientific research on the behavior of cast and recrystallized basalt, in order to use it as a material in the manufacture of structural elements of machine tools. A unitary methodology has been established for studying the eigenfrequency of structural elements for machine tools by the finite element method. Two basalt structural elements (beam type and plate type) were modeled, which were also made physically, and with the help of the COSMOS / Mark finite element program, the eigenfrequencies of the models was studied.
Dynamic Gaussian Graphical Models for Modelling Genomic Networks
2014
After sequencing the entire DNA for various organisms, the challenge has become understanding the functional interrelatedness of the genome. Only by understanding the pathways for various complex diseases can we begin to make sense of any type of treatment. Unfortunately, decyphering the genomic network structure is an enormous task. Even with a small number of genes the number of possible networks is very large. This problem becomes even more difficult, when we consider dynamical networks. We consider the problem of estimating a sparse dynamic Gaussian graphical model with \(L_1\) penalized maximum likelihood of structured precision matrix. The structure can consist of specific time dynami…
The role of sport-specific play and practice during childhood in the development of adolescent Finnish team sport athletes
2016
This study sought to understand the role of sport-specific play and practice in the development of adolescent team sport athletes in the Finnish sports development system. Participants were male, 15-year-old soccer (n = 141), ice hockey (n = 204), and basketball (n = 96) players, divided into three groups based on the amount of sport-specific play and practice experienced during childhood. Data were collected with sport-specific inventories of practice history, tactical skills, psychological skills, and sport-specific skill test. Results showed that athletes with more sport-specific play and practice during childhood had more sport-specific play and practice during adolescence, better techn…

Synthesis of 131I-labeled glucose-conjugated inhibitors of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and comparison with nonconjugated inhibitors…
2006
O 6 -Substituted guanine derivatives are powerful agents used for tumor cell sensitization by inhibition of the DNA repair enzyme O 6 -methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). To provide targeted accumulation of MGMT inhibitors in tumor tissue as well as tools for in vivo imaging, we synthesized iodinated C 8 -alkyl-linked glucose conjugates of 2-amino-6-(5-iodothenyl)-9H-purine (O 6 -(5-iodothenyl) guanine, ITG) and 2-amino-6-(3-iodobenzyloxy)-9H-purine (O 6 -(5-iodobenzyl) guanine, IBG). These compounds have MGMT inhibitor constants (IC 5 0 values) of 0.8 and 0.45 μM for ITGG and IBGG, respectively, as determined in HeLa S3 cells after 2-h incubation with inhibitor. To substantiate tha…
Expression Patterns and Subcellular Localization of Carbonic Anhydrases Are Developmentally Regulated during Tooth Formation
2014
Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play fundamental roles in several physiological events, and emerging evidence points at their involvement in an array of disorders, including cancer. The expression of CAs in the different cells of teeth is unknown, let alone their expression patterns during odontogenesis. As a first step towards understanding the role of CAs during odontogenesis, we used immunohistochemistry, histochemistry and in situ hybridization to reveal hitherto unknown dynamic distribution patterns of eight CAs in mice. The most salient findings include expression of CAII/Car2 not only in maturation-stage ameloblasts (MA) but also in the papillary layer, dental papilla mesenchyme, …
