Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a clonal myeloproliferative neoplasm. Croatian Cooperative Group for hematologic disorders, KROHEM proposes the diagnostic and treatment guidelines for ET. Diagnosis of ET is based on the criteria and classification of World Health Organization (WHO). The level of treatment recommendation is based on the UpToDate (web based medical community database) criteria....

It is widely recognized that regions with complex heterogeneous topography and land-use properties produce a variety of diurnal mesoscale microscale flows, which can be modified or even masked by significant large-scale synoptic forcing. These flows produced through both dynamic thermal-forcing processes. Recent field programs such as the Terrain-induced Rotor Experiment (T-REX), Mountain Terra...

In this paper, the problem of robust regulation of robot manipulators using only position measurements is addressed. The main idea of the control design methodology is to use an observer to estimate simultaneously the velocity and the modeling error signal induced by model/system mismatches. The controller is obtained by replacing the velocity and the modeling error in an inverse dynamics feedb...

Thunderstorms associated with severe gusty winds and lightening cause loss of life and property even though they last for an hour or so. Forecasting of these severe weather events is highly essential due to their impact on socioeconomic conditions of affected regions. Kharagpur (22°30′ N, 87°20′ E) is in the region of Gangetic West Bengal (GWB) affected by high frequency of occurrence of thunde...

Here we analyze the impact of four planetary boundary-layer (PBL) parametrization schemes from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) numerical weather prediction model on simulations of meteorological variables and predicted pollutant concentrations from an air quality forecast system (AQFS). The current setup of the Spanish operational AQFS, CALIOPE, is composed of the WRF-ARW V3.5.1 mete...

The Polar Front Zone (PFZ) in the Barents Sea is an area where warm, salty water of the North Atlantic (AtW) interacts with cold, less dense, Arctic water (ArW) and the fresher water produced by melting ice (MW). In the spring a large-scale transformation of the structure of the PFZ is accompanied by the development of mesoscale eddies with characteristic sizes of 25 to 40 km. The vertical velo...

The Mediterranean basin is as a strongly cyclogenetic area. Most of the cyclonic events arise from the interplay between the thermal structure of the Mediterranean sea and the orographic structure surrounding it. In many cases, the dynamics of deeply convective cyclones are strongly determined by latent and sensible heat fluxes that, over the sea, are driven by the Sea Surface Temperature (SST)...

Based on stochastic modeling of Coriolis vibration gyros by the Allan variance technique, this paper discusses Angle Random Walk (ARW), Rate Random Walk (RRW) and Markov process gyroscope noises which have significant impacts on the North-finding accuracy. A new continuous rotation alignment algorithm for a Coriolis vibration gyroscope Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is proposed in this paper, ...
