Many Commonly Used Rainfall‐Runoff Models Lack Long, Slow Dynamics: Implications for Runoff Projections

Commonly used vitamin supplements: implications for clinical practice.

Performance assessment of a commonly used "accumulation and wash-off" model from long-term continuous road runoff turbidity measurements.

The suitability of a commonly used accumulation and wash-off model for continuous modelling of urban runoff contamination was evaluated based on 11-month turbidity and flow-rate records from an urban street. Calibration and uncertainty analysis were performed using a Markov Chain Monte-Carlo sampling method for both suspended solids loads (discharge rates) and concentration modelling. Selected ...

A Lack of Bioactive Predictability for Marker Compounds Commonly Used for Herbal Medicine Standardization

The use of botanical medicine by practitioners and the general public has dramatically increased in recent years. Most of these botanical therapeutics are obtained through commercial manufacturers or nutraceutical companies. The current standard of practice that manufacturers typically use to standardize botanicals is done based on the level of a well-known, abundant marker compound present in ...

Effective and efficient global optimization for conceptual rainfallrunoff models

The successful application of a conceptual rainfall-runoff (CRR) model depends on how well it is calibrated. Despite the popularity of CRR models, reports in the literature indicate that it is typically difficult, if not. i.•possible, to obtain unique optimal values for their parameters using automatic calibration methods. Unless the best set of parameters.associated witha given calibration dat...

Southern Hemisphere Cloud–Dynamics Biases in CMIP5 Models and Their Implications for Climate Projections

This study quantifies cloud–radiative anomalies associated with interannual variability in the latitude of the SouthernHemisphere (SH)midlatitude eddy-driven jet, in 20 global climatemodels fromphase 5 of theCoupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). Two distinct model types are found. In the first class ofmodels (type I models), total cloud fraction is reduced at SHmidlatitudes as the jet ...
