The present study examines the effects of historic climate variability on cold-season processes, including soil temperature, frost depth, and the number of frost days and freeze–thaw cycles. Considering the importance of spatial and temporal variability in cold-season processes, the study was conducted in the midwestern United States using both observations and model simulations. Model simulati...

Due to the growing wish and necessity to simulate the possible effects of climate change on the discharge regime on large rivers such as the Rhine in Europe, there is a need for well performing hydrological models that can be applied in climate change scenario studies. There exists large variety in available models and there is an ongoing debate in research on rainfall-runoff modelling on wheth...

A generalization of the single soil layer variable infiltration capacity (VIC) land surface hydrological model previously implemented in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory general circulation model (GClVO is described. The new model is comprised of a two-layer characterization of the soil column, and uses an aerodynamic representation of the latent and sensible heat fluxes at the land su...

We have modi ed the popular Mbone toolVic (VIdeo Conferencing) to useArequipa (Application REQuested IP over ATM). The latter enables applications and in particular Vic, to request a direct ATM connection for its exclusive use and to directly control the tra c parameters of this connection. We have also implemented ATM Forum's UNI4.0 signaling and ITU-T's connection modi cation recommendation Q...

Following the initial observation about the exsistence of plant lectins-immunoreactive material in different rat and human tissues (D ebb age et al. 1993), we isolated a specific wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)-immunoreactive (IR) protein from human placenta by combination of ion-exchange and immunoaffinity chromatography. It was characterized as 66 kD glycoprotein exhibiting calcium-dependent, car...
