Several studies have projected increases in drought severity, extent and duration in many parts of the world under climate change. We examine sources of uncertainty arising from the methodological choices for the assessment of future drought risk in the continental US (CONUS). One such uncertainty is in the climate models' expression of evaporative demand (E0), which is not a direct climate mod...

the goal of this study was to estimate the sensitivity of reference evapotranspiration (et0) to changes in meteorological parameters in the caspian region. long-term meteorological data (1961-2008) were obtained from three synoptic meteorological stations. the region was primarily classified into three climatic zones, based on de martonne climate classification. the penman–monteith equation was...

1 I would like to thank J. Perez-Lopez and S. Roca for providing unpublished or difficult to obtain material for this paper and F. Alvarez for his comments at the second ASCE meetings where the paper was first presented.

Objectives: 1. To find that ASCE can attenuate severe inflammation and promote skin barrier reconstruction in atopic dermatitis model. 2. understand adipose stem cell exosome (ASCE) be a paradigm shift regenerative aesthetics & therapeutics. Introduction: Exosomes, nano-sized extracellular vesicles, are the most important mediator for intercellular communication. For last years, dual function o...

Broadband signal transmission over frequencyselective fading channel often requires accurate channel state information at receiver. One of the most attracting adaptive channel estimation methods is least mean square (LMS) algorithm. However, LMS-based method is often degraded by random scaling of input training signal. To improve the estimation performance, in this paper we apply the standard l...

Channel estimation problem is one of the key technical issues in sparse frequency-selective fading multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme. To estimate sparse MIMO channels, sparse invariable step-size normalized least mean square (ISS-NLMS) algorithms were applied to adaptive sparse channel estimation (ACSE). It...
