A hybrid statistical dynamical downscaling method intended to emulate regional climate models is described and applied Western Europe. The based on a constructed analogues algorithm, already used for downscaling. For emulation, the relationship not derived from observations but projections at low high resolution. approach therefore does rely stationarity assumption inherent conventional Within ...

Macrocage molecules with a bridged phenylene rotor have been synthesized as molecular gyrotops, whose cages were constructed by ring-closing metathesis (RCM) of bis(trialkenylsilyl)benzenes. An analysis of the yields of the products in the RCM reaction under various temperature conditions revealed that the desired cage, i.e., a molecular gyrotop, was produced in good yield under reflux, indicat...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant skin cancer. Its genital localization is rare, and the diagnosis in this site could be challenging. Here, we report two patients with vulvar BCC and describe their clinical, dermoscopic and in vivo and ex vivo reflectance confocal microscopic (RCM) features. Dermoscopy and RCM can be useful tools for helping the clinical diagnosis of vulva...

BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is being increasingly used in patients with end-stage dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathy. There have been no clinical trials addressing the use of LVAD therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure caused by restrictive (RCM) or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The purpose of this study was therefore to analyze the outcome of LVAD therapy i...

Rhinocerebral mucormycosis (RCM) is a rare, fulminant fungal infection that usually occurs in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The mortality rate has been reduced recently with the advent of amphotericin B combined with aggressive surgery. Eleven RCM patients have been treated over the past five years at Srinagarind Hospital. Eight had underlying diabetes, five had renal failure and thre...

In this paper the design and implementation of image watermarking algorithm called reversible contrast mapping (RCM) is given. Watermarking is to embed the one important information into the cover media to provide the security to data. Reversible watermarking is one of the important scheme of the watermarking which is useful when reconstruction of original image from watermarked data is necessa...

We report the pattern of performance on language tasks by a neurologically impaired patient, RCM, who makes semantic errors in writing to dictation and in written naming, but makes very few errors at all (and no semantic errors) in spoken naming, oral reading, or spontaneous speech. RCM also shows a significant effect of concreteness on spelling accuracy and other features of so-called "deep dy...

BACKGROUND In recent years, non-syndromic idiopathic cardiomyopathies have increasingly been characterised as autosomal dominant conditions caused by single gene mutations. Loci have been identified for hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy, and in some cases the same loci are associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). In a kindred with RCM that we previously reported, we ruled out the...

A new framework for the implementation of reliability centered maintenance (RCM) in the initial design phases of industrial chemical processes was developed and implemented. Fuzzy reasoning algorithms were designed to evaluate and assess the likelihood of equipment failure mode precipitation and aggravation. Furthermore, an approximate reasoning scheme which considers local, product, and adjace...

Due to uncertainty on target's motion, the range cell migration (RCM) and azimuth phase error (APE) of moving targets can't be completely compensated in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing. Therefore, moving targets often appear two-dimensional (2-D) defocused in SAR images. In this paper, a 2-D autofocus method for refocusing defocused moving targets in SAR images is presented. The new m...
