In the present work, we investigate the impacts on the observation error (OE) statistics due to different types of errors in the forward operator (FE) for both radar reflectivity and radial wind data, in the context of convective-scale data assimilation in the summertime.A series of sensitivity experiments were conducted with the Efficient Modular
BACKGROUND:Most studies provide evidence that the skin flush response to nicotinic acid (niacin) stimulation is impaired in schizophrenia.However, only little is known about niacin sensitivity in the ultra-high risk (UHR) phase of psychotic disorders.METHODS:We compared visual ratings Womens Sweater of niacin sensitivity between adolescents at UHR

This research addresses the optimal phase-balancing problem by applying a master-slave optimization methodology.The MINT TOOTHPASTE master stage defines the load connections per node using a discrete codification, while the slave stage evaluates each load configuration provided by the master stage via a three-phase power flow.For the master stage,
