ERA-CLIM: Historical Surface and Upper-Air Data for Future Reanalyses

Historical Remotely Sensed Sea Surface Temperature Data for Prediction of Coral Bleaching Event in Kish Island, the Persian Gulf

The capability of Degree Heating Weeks index (DHWs) was examined for prediction of bleaching events in the coral reef communities of the Kish Island located in the north of the Persian Gulf. In doing so, weekly Sea Surface Temperature (SST) values (in 1°×1° spatial resolution) prepared by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with documented bleaching events, such...

Nonthermal Plasma Processing for Air-Pollution Control: A Historical Review, Current Issues, and Future Prospects

Plasma is a partially or fully ionized gas consisting of various particles, such as electrons, ions, atoms, and molecules. For the quantitative description of plasma, the term of temperature is usually used. Thermal plasma is in a state where almost all its components are at thermal equilibrium. In nonthermal plasmas (NTPs), temperature (i.e. kinetic energy) is not in thermal equilibrium, and d...

Historical Development and Future Directions in Data Resource Development

On February 25,26 2007, the second of two workshops entitled “Meeting of the MINDS: Future Directions for Human Language Technology,” sponsored by the U.S. Government's Disruptive Technology Office (DTO), was held in Marina del Rey, California. “MINDS” is an acronym for Machine Translation (MT), Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Data Resources (Data), and Speech Und...

Reanalyses of randomized clinical trial data.

IMPORTANCE Reanalyses of randomized clinical trial (RCT) data may help the scientific community assess the validity of reported trial results. OBJECTIVES To identify published reanalyses of RCT data, to characterize methodological and other differences between the original trial and reanalysis, to evaluate the independence of authors performing the reanalyses, and to assess whether the reanal...
