Modeling the heat released from a burning wildfire is essential to support coupled atmosphere-fire simulation. This paper presents post-frontal combustion heat modeling in the wildfire spread model of DEVS-FIRE. The developed heat model integrates features from both the BURNUP model and the heat model of WRF-Fire to compute the heat flux of wildfire. To model fuel consumption, it uses the BURNU...

BACKGROUND Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a key determinant of heart failure hospitalization costs. Longer LOS is associated with lower quality of care measures and higher rates of readmission and mortality. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction predicted poor outcomes in patients with stable chronic heart failure (CHF), however, its prognostic value in the acute decompensated heart failure (ADH...

In this study we examine the relationship between remotely sensed, in situ and modelled land surface temperature (LST) over a heterogeneous land-cover (LC) enclosed in alpine terrain. This relationship can help to understand to what extent the remotely sensed data can be used to improve model simulations of land surface parameters such as LST in mountainous areas. LST from the MODerate resoluti...

A hybrid ensemble transform Kalman filter–three-dimensional variational data assimilation (ETKF– 3DVAR) system for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model is introduced. The system is based on the existing WRF 3DVAR. Unlike WRF 3DVAR, which utilizes a simple, static covariance model to estimate the forecast-error statistics, the hybrid system combines ensemble covariances with the stat...

AIMS To determine if newer criteria for diagnosing and staging acute kidney injury (AKI) during heart failure (HF) admission are more predictive of clinical outcomes at 30 days and 1 year than the traditional worsening renal function (WRF) definition. METHODS We analyzed prospectively collected clinical data on 637 HF admissions with 30-day and 1-year follow-up. The incidence, stages, and out...

The meteorological component of the CSRMC is based on a modified height coordinate prototype version of the nonhydrostatic, compressible Weather and Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The WRF model is a community model which is being developed in a collaborative effort by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), the Air Fo...

On the afternoon of 18 January 2003, a number of separate fires located to the west of Canberra, Australia, began major runs under extreme fire weather conditions, and impacted upon the city. These events were well documented by a range of instruments, including a multispectral line-scanning instrument attached to an aircraft. Analysis of the data collected revealed that a number of the fires h...

In Indonesia, cattle feces (CF) and water hyacinth (WH) plants are abundant but have not been widely revealed. The use of microorganisms as decomposers in the fermentation process has applied, so researchers interested studying further. This study was to evaluate effect combination CF with WH on composting by applying white-rot fungal (WRF) (Ganoderma sp) microorganism a decomposer. A number si...
