Experimental Assessment of a Fixed On-Shore Oscillating Water Column Device: Case Study on Oman Sea

Ocean wave is one of the renewable energy resources that these days various devices are used to extract its energy. Oscillating Water Column (OWC) installed on the shore is one of the wave energy absorption systems which has received attention due to its simple structure. Investigation of the pneumatic power is of great importance in such systems as the conversion of wave energy to pneumatic en...

Comment on study by Backman et al

BfArM acknowledges the submission of the manuscript by Backman et al. (2005) concerning the occurrence of breast cancer associated with Mirena use. The manuscript was scheduled for publication in October 2005 and meanwhile has been published (Backman T. et al. Use of the Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system and breast cancer. Obstet and Gynecol 2005;106:813-7). Unfortunately, the study ...

Comment on Article by Celeux Et Al

The authors point to several problems occurring if DIC = 2D(θ) − D(θ) is applied to missing data models: (i) the focus of the model depends on whether the missing data z are considered as observations or as parameters or integrated out; (ii) the parameter θ may be non-identifiable; (iii) θ can be a poor estimator of θ. They then investigate modifications of DIC mainly based on estimates other t...

Interactive comment on “A microwave satellite water vapour column retrieval for polar winter conditions” by C. Perro et al

Referee: This article describes an updated retrieval method to obtain water vapour columns in polar regions from the MHS and AMSU-B instruments. The improvements to current methods are described and the new method tested against synthetic and real data. The new method involves using a-priori information and iterating a radiative transfer model to optimise the optical depth profile by scaling th...
