background: today, liver transplantation is a routine procedure in the treatment of patients with end stage liver disease and its survival rate is high. in order to promote health, nurses and other health care professionals need to discover the meanings of lived experiences after liver transplantation. it is important for nurses to know what patients really experience; appropriate nursing inter...

A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...

Data from weather satellites have become integral to the weather forecast process in the United States and abroad. Satellite data are used to derive improved forecasts for short-term routine weather, long-term climate change, and for predicting natural disasters. The resulting forecasts have saved lives, reduced weather-related economic losses, and improved the quality of life. Weather informat...

Turbulent planetary boundary layers (PBLs) control the exchange processes between the atmosphere and the ocean/land. The key problems of PBL physics are to determine the PBL height, the momentum, energy and matter fluxes at the surface and the mean wind and scalar profiles throughout the layer in a range of regimes from stable and neutral to convective. Until present, the PBLs typical of stormy...

The conditions of a fragile and unsustainable ecology have added to the complexities much-contested notion ‘citizenship’. Ecological peril, both in form extreme weather events slow-onset impacts environmental degradation, has serious repercussions for already prevailing conundrum that conception citizenship entails.
