Abstract The INCOMPASS field campaign combines airborne and ground measurements of the 2016 Indian monsoon, towards ultimate goal better predicting monsoon rainfall. supplies majority water in South Asia, but forecasting from days to season ahead is limited by large, rapidly developing errors model parametrizations. lack detailed observations prevents thorough understanding circulation its interaction with land surface: a process governed boundary‐layer convective‐cloud dynamics. used UK...
Abstract. Interannual variability in desert dust is widely observed and simulated, yet the sensitivity of these simulations to a particular meteorological dataset, as well model construction, not known. Here we use version 4 Community Atmospheric Model (CAM4) with Earth System (CESM) simulate forced by three different reanalysis datasets for period 1990–2005. We then contrast results simulated using online winds dynamically generated from sea surface temperatures, conducted other modeling...
Developing and improving numerical weather prediction models such as the Rapid Refresh (RAP) High-Resolution (HRRR) requires a well-designed, easy-to-use evaluation capability using observations. Owing to very complex nonlinear interactions between data assimilation system representation of various physics components in model, changes one aspect modeling address particular shortcoming within model may have detrimental impacts another area. Thus, verification approach used Global Systems...
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that has been shown to have antidepressant effects in humans and proposed as potential treatment for mood disorders such posttraumatic stress disorder aggression. However, previous studies from our lab others demonstrated ketamine's are highly context- dose-dependent. In recent study, we found 10 mg/kg ketamine could exacerbate the of early life on excessive aggression mice. To further investigate, effect moods, fear, anxiety, depression, aggression,...
Pickleball is one of the rising trends in recreation sports for all ages yet only study cardiac patients has reported its cardiorespiratory demands. PURPOSE: The objective this was to compare activity, movement, energy expenditure, perceived exertion, and level enjoyment during pickleball walking healthy adults. METHODS: Twelve novice intermediate players (4 male: 8 female, age: 48.5 ± 13.1 years, height: 170.8 9.8 cm, mass: 72.9 12.0 kg) participated comparative study. Average heart rate,...
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) moving into the midlatitudes can produce extreme precipitation, as was case with Hurricane Irene (2011). Despite high-impact nature of these events, relatively few studies have explored sensitivity TC precipitation forecasts to model initial conditions. Here, physical processes that modulate over Northeast United States during are investigated using an 80-member 0.5° Global Forecasting System (GFS) ensemble. The members forecast highest total Catskill...
Context In the National Athletic Trainers' Association position statement, “Acute Management of Cervical Spine-Injured Athlete,” technique recommended for face-mask (FM) removal is one that “creates least head and neck motion, performed most quickly, difficult, carries chance failure.” Industrial technological advances in football helmet design FM attachment systems might influence efficacy emergency removal. Objective To examine times success rates Quick Release (QR) Face Guard Attachment...

Traumatic stress has been shown to contribute persistent behavioral changes, yet the underlying neural pathways are not fully explored. Structural plasticity, a form of long-lasting adaptability, offers plausible mechanism. To scrutinize this, we used mGRASP imaging technique visualize synaptic modifications in pathway formed between neurons posterior ventral segment medial amygdala and ventrolateral ventromedial hypothalamus (MeApv-VmHvl), areas previously showed be involved stress-induced...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine core temperature (TC) and markers dehydration during one-a-day (D1) practices compared two-a-day (D2) practices. Methods: Twenty-five National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) football players volunteered participate in the study, with thirteen subjects providing data for all four Each subject measured prior following D1 D2 tested body mass, temperature, supine standing blood pressure,...
Pickleball is increasing in popularity nationwide. However, research investigating the physiological demands of pickleball limited; no one has investigated intensity differences between and a common exercise activity such as walking. PURPOSE: The purpose this study was to (1) compare movement parameters walking, (2) correlate those with caloric expenditure. METHODS: 16 novice intermediate level players (8 male, 8 female; age = 44 ± 14 years, mass 76.0 12.4 kg; height 1.67 0.09 m)...
The sport of pickleball is increasing in popularity throughout the United States, especially middle-aged, and older adults. Research investigating physiological demands limited. use wearable technology also gaining popularity, however, accuracy such devices under question. PURPOSE: purpose this study was to determine if provide valid heart rate (HR) measures during doubles middle aged METHODS: 8 female, intermediate level players (IFP = 3.0 ± 0.8; age 47 11 years; mass 72.5 12.8 kg; height...
