Humidity sensor failure: a problem that should not be neglected

Humidity sensor failure: a problem that should not be neglected

The problem of abnormally dry bias induced by radiosonde humidity sensor failure in the low and midtroposphere is studied based on the global operational radiosonde relative humidity observations from December 2008 to November 2009. The concurrent humidity retrievals from the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC radio occultation mission are also used to assess the quality of the radiosonde humidity observations....

Staphylococcus lugdunensis; a pathogen that should be considered in Iran

Background: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is Gram-positive cocci of the staphylococcaceae family. S. lugdunensis despite having a clotting factor (wall coagulase), was classified in the coagulase negative staphylococcus group (CoNS) for lack of free coagulase. Although this bacterium is part of the human normal flora, in terms of virulence, S. lugdunensis is in second place after S. aureus. S. lug...

I-14: Assisted Reproduction and Religion What Consideration Should Be and Should Not Be Relevant,

Several important issues are pertinent to an ethical discussion of the new technology today grouped under the name Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). This is a moral imperative because each of us must decide what is to be considered ethically acceptable in assisted reproduction. Reflecting on the ethical dimension of ‘creating’ a new human life can play a major role in ensuring that in eac...

Daes That Should Not Be Solved

The closing decades of the 20th century have seen many scientists recognize that their mathematical models are in fact instances of DAEs, or of ODEs with invariants. Such a recognition has often carried with it the beneet of aaording a new, sometimes revealing, computational look at the old problem. But one must not conclude that reformulating a mathematical model as a DAE is always a good idea...
