Fontan circulation is the consequence of an operation that results in the flow of systemic venous blood to the lungs without passing through a ventricle. An 18-year old man with a history of congenital heart disease surgically treated with Fontan circulation, presented with pleuritic chest pain and a raised D-dimer level. Perfusion/ventilation SPECT was performed to exclude the possibility of p...

Climate modelers have recognized the possibility of abrupt climate changes caused by a reorganization of the North Atlantic’s current pattern (technically known as a thermohaline circulation collapse). This circulation system now warms north-western Europe and transports carbon dioxide to the deep oceans. The posited collapse of this system could produce severe cooling in northwestern Europe, e...

As a part of the Lake-Induced Convection Experiments (Lake-ICE), on December 21, 1997 the University of Wisconsin Volume Imaging Lidar (UW-VIL) observed a visually stunning example of a shallow (~75-100 m) land breeze circulation over Lake Michigan. Backscatter returns revealed a steady offshore flow extending 1.5 to 4 km offshore, at which point it met the prevailing winds, which directly oppo...

Two subsurface Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) were deployed in the northeastern South China Sea to study the circulation structure in the area as well as the path and process of the Kuroshio intrusion. The 48 h low-pass filtered data, for the first time, reveal significant intra-seasonal variations in the velocity field. Flow is alternately cyclonic or anticyclonic even within a sing...

Numerical simulations of the winter circulation in and around the Gulf of Trieste are presented. The model, based on the architecture of the Princeton Ocean Model, gave reasonable results for circulation in the Gulf during the winter period, when the dominant bora wind is blowing. Three model runs with different initial and surface boundary conditions show that there is an outflow along the sha...

Cloud processes are the largest source of uncertainty in quantifying global temperature response to carbon dioxide rise. Still, role precipitation efficiency (PE) -- surface rain per unit column integrated condensation is yet be quantified. Here we use 36 limited-domain cloud resolving simulations from Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project show that they strongly imply ...

 Introduction: Bacterial translocation is defined as the passage of bacteria from intestinal tract to the extraintestinal organs such as the peritoneum and blood circulation. The aim of this study is to examine bacterial translocation (regarding type of bacteria and effect of time of obstruction on bacterial translocation) from intestinal lumen to the peritoneum and viscera in acute, simple mec...

Based on rainfall data for the period of 1960–2018 from 382 stations in southwest China and multiple reanalysis datasets, interannual variation late spring over Southwest associated sea surface temperature atmospheric circulation anomalies are examined. The first leading mode late-spring displays a uniform-distribution pattern. second shows zonal dipole is related to an wave train mid-high lati...

[1] An ice-ocean model has been used to investigate the effect of vertical mixing on the circulation of the Atlantic Water layer (AL) in the Arctic Ocean. The motivation of this study comes from the disparate AL circulations in the various models that comprise the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP). It is found that varying vertical mixing significantly changes the ocean’s strat...
