Projections of future changes in weather extremes on the regional and local scale depend on a realistic representation of trends in extremes in regional climate models (RCMs). We have tested this assumption for moderate high temperature extremes (the annual maximum of the daily maximum 2 m temperature, Tann.max). Linear trends in Tann.max from historical runs of 14 RCMs driven by atmospheric re...

A literature review was undertaken to determine any consistencies or inconsistencies in the literature, identify any gaps or flaws in research available and consider recommendations for clinical practice and future research. The review aims to be unbiased. When the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) launched the ‘Campaign for Normal Birth’ in 2005, one of the first issues to be considered by the s...

When attempting to evaluate expertise, it is important to assess not only what individuals know but also how they organize that knowledge. Numerous methods have been proposed for deriving graphical representations of knowledge organization, or mental models, but not enough is known about the relative effectiveness of these methods. Structural assessment (SA) and revealed casual mapping (RCM), t...

Based on the work of Self-Determination Theory, this article suggests how to implement SelfDetermination Theory based principle in a learnercentered perspective. Higher education has traditionally rested on learning methods that render passive students. Societal changes require selfregulatory skills and an active motivational set. However, lack of theoretical, empirical and practical driven the...

This paper utilizes the best available quality data from multiple sources to develop consistent surface boundary conditions (SBCs) for mesoscale regional climate model (RCM) applications. The primary SBCs include 1) fields of soil characteristic (bedrock depth, and sand and clay * Corresponding author address: Dr. Xin-Zhong Liang, Illinois State Water Survey, University of Illinois at Urbana–Ch...

In this paper a router configuration machine for Cisco routers using GUI is presented. It is developed using Visual C# .NET programming, in which the interface provides GUI platforms for various types of configuration for entire series of Cisco routers. It communicates with the Cisco Internetwork Operating System to configure the router. It includes the configuration for all interior routing pr...

The chloride penetration resistance of phosphoaluminate cement (PAC) concrete was investigated in this study. The effects of mixture proportioning parameters, including cement content, water–cement ratio (w/c), and superplasticizer content on chloride ion penetration resistance of PAC concrete were investigated by the rapid chloride migration test (RCM). The result shows that the increase of ce...

Distribution utilities aim to operate and plan their network in a secure economical way. The prime focus of this work is assist by developing new integrated approach which considers the impacts system reliability distribution planning (DSP). This merges different problems together solves them two-stage process, as follows: 1. cable routing optimal location number switching devices (circuit brea...

Operasional baik akan menunjang kelancaran produksi, perlu dilakukan teknik perawatan tepat. Teknik pada penelitian ini menggu...

Navy has made a huge applying of preventive maintenance that has been recognized as the greatest source of costs. Scheduled overhaul is the most expensive. Revising preventive maintenance and selecting maintenance concepts according to a new algorithm should result into lowering those costs and at the same time maintaining function safety and system readiness. A reversible FMEA analysis coupled...
