The prototype discussed in this article retrieves Essential Terrestrial Variable (ETV) web services and uses data-model workflows to transform ETV data for hydrological models in a distributed computing environment. The ETV workflow is a service layer to 100's of terabytes of national datasets bundled for fast data access in support of watershed modeling using the United States Geological Surve...

A hydrological ensemble prediction system, integrating a water balance model with ensemble precipitation forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Ensemble Prediction System (EPS), is evaluated for two Belgian catchments using verification methods borrowed from meteorology. The skill of the probability forecast that the streamflow exceeds a given level is mea...

The basins in the plain present particularities from approach of hydrological processes that take place there. They are characterized by presenting a predominance vertical water movements (evapotranspiration-infiltration) over horizontal (runoff), showing strong interrelation between surface and underground water. La Picasa Lagoon basin is defined as naturally depressed humid pampa region with ...

PURPOSE To determine the incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting (CINV) and chemotherapy treatment delay and adherence among patients receiving palonosetron versus other 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist (5-HT3 RA) antiemetics. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective claims analysis included adults with primary malignancies who initiated treatment consisting of single-day int...

The present study was undertaken to further characterize the interaction of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors with different targets, and to assess their ability to influence TNF effects on U937 and human endothelial cell (HEC) functions. Actions of recombinant TNF-alpha on U937 and HEC were effectively inhibited by Htr-5 and Utr-1, and to a greater exte...
