THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN ONE HOUR

Weak linkage between the heaviest rainfall and tallest storms

Conventionally, the heaviest rainfall has been linked to the tallest, most intense convective storms. However, the global picture of the linkage between extreme rainfall and convection remains unclear. Here we analyse an 11-year record of spaceborne precipitation radar observations and establish that a relatively small fraction of extreme convective events produces extreme rainfall rates in any...

The One Hour Yeast Proteome*

We describe the comprehensive analysis of the yeast proteome in just over one hour of optimized analysis. We achieve this expedited proteome characterization with improved sample preparation, chromatographic separations, and by using a new Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer equipped with a mass filter, a collision cell, a high-field Orbitrap analyzer, and, finally, a dual cell linear ion trap an...

One-hour blood xylose

A retrospective analysis o f oral D-xylose tolerance tests in 435 pediatric patients was performed A significant difference was found between l26 control subject s and 47 untreated children with celiac disease one hour after load. The one-hour value was found to be more reliable than was fecal fa t analysis in screening children for celiac disease. Sex, age, weight, and body surface did not inf...
