Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is the third main driver of the out-of-hospital immediate death (Manfredini et al., 2008). Despite the state-of-the-art therapeutic and diagnostic methods, AAD develops hastily with often fatal consequences. Although the AAD was first reported more than two centuries ago there is still less knowledge about the origins and causes of it (Hagan et al., 2000). Environm...

Meteorology is a global endeavor consuming vast resources for keeping an eye on the entire world. Thereby it not only detects the present state of the atmosphere, but also envisions its possible futures. Thus, the knowledge instruments of meteorology are permanent remote sensing, worldwide nets of weather stations, world data archives, and global circulation models computing weather and climate...

The development of traffic management and control strategies to improve traffic flows and road safety is necessary due to the high dynamism of traffic flows. The use of distributed intelligent systems can help the traffic organizations and the road operators to cope with possible incidents on the road network, especially when the incidents are related to adverse meteorological conditions. In th...

National Meteorological Services provide meteorological data, information, forecasts and various related products, which are important for the smooth functioning of many aspects in economy, administration and society. The merit of meteorological services cannot be deduced directly from the consumption of services. Rather, it emerges from the improvement of decisions by economic stakeholders tha...

CHIMERE is a chemical transport model widely used within the air quality scientific community. The actual version of CHIMERE is coupled with the MM5 mesoscale meteorological model. To facilitate model development, MM5 is replaced here with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. With the accuracy of air quality models being highly dependent on the quality of meteorological drivers, th...

Change detection is an important task in signal analysis, data mining, and image processing. In meteorology research, change is frequently associated with severe weather events or climate anomalies. Detecting change is crucial for weather and climate analysis. In this paper, we propose a wavelet based approach to analyze short term changes in the global meteorological data. We design a suite of...
