Abstract The Goddard profiling algorithm has evolved from a pseudoparametric used in the current TRMM operational product (GPROF 2010) to fully parametric approach operationally GPM era 2014). uses Bayesian inversion for all surface types. thus abandons rainfall screening procedures and instead full brightness temperature vector obtain most likely precipitation state. This paper offers complete description of GPROF 2010 2014 algorithms assesses sensitivity assumptions related channel...
This paper presents a novel resilience-based framework to optimise the scheduling of post-disaster recovery actions for road-bridge transportation networks. The methodology systematically incorporates network topology, redundancy, traffic flow, damage level and available resources into stochastic processes post-hazard strategy optimisation. Two metrics are proposed measuring rapidity efficiency recovery: total time (TRT) skew trajectory (SRT). TRT is required be restored its pre-hazard...
Enhancing community resilience in the future will require new interdisciplinary systems-based approaches that depend on many disciplines, including engineering, social and economic, information sciences. The National Institute of Standards Technology awarded Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning to Colorado State University nine other universities 2015, with overarching goal establishing measurement science assessment. Centerville Virtual Testbed is aimed at enabling...
Multidrug-resistant strains of Citrobacter have emerged, which carry Amp-C β-lactamase (Amp-C), broad-spectrum β-lactamase, extended-spectrum (ESBL), and other resistance mechanisms. These are associated with a higher rate in-hospital mortality. The object this study is to determine the mortality risk factors, susceptibility pattern antibiotics, prevalence genes in patients freundii bacteremia. From January 2009 December 2014, blood isolates C. were collected MacKay Memorial Hospital,...
Passive microwave (PMW) satellite-based precipitation over land algorithms rely on physical models to define the most appropriate channel combinations use in retrieval, yet typically require considerable empirical adaptation of model for with satellite measurements. Although low-frequency channels are better suited measure emission due liquid associated rain, techniques date high-frequency, scattering-based schemes since methods limited highly variable surface background, whose radiometric...
ABSTRACT Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a Gram-positive bacterium found in the female rectovaginal tract and capable of producing severe disease susceptible hosts, including newborns pregnant women. The vaginal considered major reservoir for GBS, maternal colonization poses significant risk to newborn; however, little known about specific bacterial factors that promote GBS persistence reproductive tract. We have developed vitro models interaction with human...
Abstract Snowfall rate retrieval from spaceborne passive microwave (PMW) radiometers has gained momentum in recent years. PMW can be so utilized because of its ability to sense in‐cloud precipitation. A physically based, overland snowfall (SFR) algorithm been developed using measurements the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit‐A/Microwave Humidity Sounder sensor pair and Technology Sounder. Currently, these instruments are aboard five polar‐orbiting satellites, namely, NOAA‐18, NOAA‐19,...
Abstract This study uses Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Microwave Imager (GMI) and Ka-precipitation radar observations to quantify the snowfall detection performance for different channel (frequency) combinations. Results showed that low-frequency-channel set contains limited snow information with a 0.34 probability of (POD). Much better is evident using high-frequency channels (i.e., POD = 0.74). In addition, if only one allowed be added set, adding 183 ± 3 GHz presents largest...
Identification of risks mortality for carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), with early implementation an appropriate therapy, is crucial the patients' outcome. The aim this study was to survey risk factors in 182 patients CRAB bacteremia a medical center Taiwan.A total isolates were collected from 2009 2012 Mackay Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan These identified by using genotypic method. Risk attributable analysis carried out Cox proportional hazards model.The belonged 38...
Community resilience planning, risk mitigation, and recovery optimization must assume a system perspective at the level of overall community built environment. While engineers can quantify performance individual buildings facilities, such information be aggregated to reflect vulnerability building portfolio as whole support resilience-based decisions level. This study presents methodology for analysis that relates exposed natural hazards portfolio. We introduce concept fragility function...
This study proposes a framework for the probabilistic prediction of building portfolio functionality loss (BPFL) in community following an earthquake hazard. Building is jointly affected by both structural integrity itself and availability critical utilities. To this end, incorporates three analyses given scenario: (1) evaluation spatial distribution physical damages to buildings utility infrastructure; (2) computation disruptions deriving from cascading failures occurring interdependent...
Abstract The direct electrochemical conversion of bicarbonate solutions (i.e., captured CO 2 ) has emerged as a sustainable approach for integrating capture and utilization compared to the traditional independent sequential route. However, process is poorly understood, impeding development this new technology. Here, study explores critical factors influencing solution over Ni single‐atom catalysts, including catalyst structure, carbon source, electrolysis temperature, electrolyzer type. with...
