The global precipitation measurement mission (GPM) has been in operation for seven years and continues to provide a vast quantity of data at finer temporospatial resolutions with improved accuracy coverage. GPM’s signature algorithm, the integrated multisatellite retrievals GPM (IMERG) is next-generation product expected wide variety research operational applications. This study evaluates lates...

Abstract An observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) was performed to assess the impact of assimilating hyperspectral infrared (IR) radiances from geostationary orbit on numerical weather prediction, with a focus proposed sounder board Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) program’s central satellite. Infrared sounders platform would fill several gaps left by IR polar-orbiting satell...

BACKGROUND Detection of postoperative spinal cord level change can provide basic information about the spinal cord status, and electrophysiological studies regarding this point should be conducted in the future. METHODS To determine the changes in the spinal cord level postoperatively and the possible associated factors, we prospectively studied 31 patients with scoliosis. All the patients un...

Microangiography, using methylene blue injected at eight vitelline vein sites, was performed on 156 developing chick embryos at Hamburger-Hamilton stages 14-22. Two stream patterns were observed. Type A coursed sequentially through the dorsal portion of the sinus venosus, the cranial segments of the primitive atrium and atrioventricular canal, the ventral parts of the primitive ventricle and co...
