چکیده

The circulation of water through the Earth system is of critical importance to life on Earth. The hydrological cycle is also intimately linked to the energy cycle and to biogeochemical processes including the carbon cycle. Simulating the various processes that interact to form the hydrological cycle is a daunting task for climate models. In particular, over land, interactions between precipitation and the vegetation/soil system determine the partitioning of water into various storage reservoirs and the subsequent release of water vapor to the atmosphere. Successful simulation of these interactions by the land surface component of a climate model requires detailed representation of processes such as interception, throughfall, canopy drip, snow accumulation and ablation, infiltration, surface and sub-surface runoff, soil moisture, and the partitioning of evapotranspiration between canopy evaporation, transpiration, and soil evaporation. Depending on the capabilities of the model, the water cycle components may interact with and affect the simulation of biogeochemical processes such as the carbon and nitrogen cycle, dust and trace gas emissions, water and carbon isotopes, and vegetation dynamics. The Community Land Model version 3 (CLM3) is a computer model that represents land surface processes within the context of global climate simulation (Oleson et al. 2004). Dickinson et al. (2006) described the climate statistics of CLM3 when coupled to the Community Climate System Model (CCSM3) (Collins et al. 2006). Hack et al. (2006) provided an analysis of selected features of the land hydrological cycle. Bonan and Levis (2006) evaluated global plant biogeography and net primary production from CLM3 when coupled to a dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM). Lawrence et al. (2007) examined the impact of changes in CLM3 hydrological parameterizations on partitioning of evapotranspiration (ET) and its effect on the 1 timescales of ET response to precipitation events, interseasonal soil moisture storage, soil moisture memory, and land-atmosphere coupling. Although the simulation of land surface climate by CLM3 is in many ways adequate (Dickinson et al. 2006), many of the more unsatisfactory aspects of the simulated climate described in these studies can be traced directly to a deficient simulation of the hydrological cycle. A poor simulation of the hydrological cycle in the Amazon basin is indicative of the hydrologic deficiencies in CLM3. Here, the simulated present-day climate is biased warm and dry with lower runoff than observed (Dickinson et al. 2006). In part this is due to insufficient precipitation from the atmospheric model but is exacerbated by unrealistic partitioning …

Medication supply in closed loop medication - conceptual understanding and prerequisites

Closed loop medication (CLM) is an electronic supported medication management process. In addition to reducing errors, the approach provides better documentation, better traceability and better support for evaluating efficacy. Commonly today, medication information is registered in many standalone systems and manual transfer between these represents a risk of human error. To be able to discuss ...

A Cocktail Method for Promoting Cardiomyocyte Differentiation from Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

A growing body of evidence supports the argument that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells in an appropriate cellular environment, but the differentiation rate is low. A cocktail method was designed: we investigated the role of 5-azacytidine (5-aza), salvianolic acid B (SalB), and cardiomyocyte lysis medium (CLM) in inducing MSCs to a...

Prognostic Factors in Terms of the Number of Metastatic Nodules in Patients With Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases

PURPOSE The hepatic resection is the gold-standard treatment for patients with colorectal-cancer liver metastases (CLM). This study aimed to identify prognostic factors in patients with synchronous CLM who underwent a surgical curative (R0) resection with respect to the number of metastatic nodules. METHODS Of 1,261 CLM patients treated between January 1991 and December 2010, 339 who underwen...

Coupling of the Common Land Model to the NCAR Community Climate Model

The Common Land Model (CLM), which results from a 3-yr joint effort among seven land modeling groups, has been coupled with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3). Two 15-yr simulations of CCM3 coupled with CLM and the NCAR Land Surface Model (LSM), respectively, are used to document the relative impact of CLM versus LSM on land surface climate. It is...

Clarithromycin Dissolution Enhancement by Preparation of Aqueous Nanosuspensions Using Sonoprecipitation Technique

Clarithromycin (CLM) is a member of macrolide family with broad spectrum antibiotic activity. It is practically insoluble in water and its poor solubility is pH dependent. In this study, series of nanosuspensions containing CLM and stabilizer such as HPMC, NaCMC, polysorbate 80, poloxamer 188 and polyvinyl alcohol in various ratios were prepared using sonoprecipitation method. Briefly, CLM was ...

Radiofrequency Ablation versus Resection for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases: A Meta-Analysis

BACKGROUND No randomized controlled trial (RCT) has yet been performed to provide the evidence to clarify the therapeutic debate on liver resection (LR) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treating colorectal liver metastases (CLM). The meta-analysis was performed to summarize the evidence mostly from retrospective clinical trials and to investigate the effect of LR and RFA. METHODOLOGY/PRIN...
