This paper is a review of the observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies mesoscale shallow convection (MSC) in atmosphere. Typically, MSC 1 to 2 km deep, has horizontal length scale few tens kilometers, takes distinctive planforms: linear hexagonal. The former called cloud street, roll, or band, while latter cellular (MCC), comprising three‐dimensional cells. characterized by its shape, extent, convective depth, aspect ratio. ratio extent that vertical.

Abstract Objective The HOME BP (Home and Online Management Evaluation of Blood Pressure) trial aimed to test a digital intervention for hypertension management in primary care by combining self-monitoring blood pressure with guided self-management. Design Unmasked randomised controlled automated ascertainment endpoint. Setting 76 general practices the United Kingdom. Participants 622 people treated but poorly (>140/90 mm Hg) access internet. Interventions were using minimisation algorithm...
Abstract INTRODUCTION The EXERT study (Exercise in Adults with Mild Memory Problems) was a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized controlled trial that examined effects of exercise on cognition and other measures brain health sedentary older adults amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS Participants were to moderate‐high intensity aerobic training (AX) or low‐intensity stretching/balance/range motion (SBR) for 18 months. Exercise supervised the first 12 Assessments administered at...

Cognitive biases in attention, interpretation and less consistently memory have been observed individuals with chronic pain play a critical role the onset maintenance of pain. Despite operating combination cognitive are typically explored isolation.The primary aim this study was to explore attentional, their interrelationship headache.Twenty-eight participants headache 34 healthy controls completed paradigms assessing ambiguous sensory-pain neutral words.Individuals showed significantly...
Abstract Background Pain‐related cues are evolutionarily primed to capture attention, although evidence of attentional biases towards pain‐related information is mixed in healthy individuals. The present study explores whether individuals show significantly different eye‐movement behaviours when viewing real‐world scenes compared neutral scenes. effect manipulating via written the threat value on was also assessed. Methods Participants were randomized threatening ( n = 28) and...
As a common clinical symptom that often bothers midlife females, migraine is closely associated with perimenopause. Previous studies suggest one of the most prominent triggers sudden decline estrogen during perimenopausal period. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) widely used to prevent this suffering in women, but effective diagnostic system lacked for quantifying severity diseaase. To avoid abuse and overuse HRT, we propose conduct trial using multimodal MRI techniques quantify these...
Introduction Chronic musculoskeletal pain is a complex medical condition that can significantly impact quality of life. Patients with chronic demonstrate attentional biases towards pain-related information. The therapeutic benefits modifying by implicitly training attention away from information neutral have been supported in small number published studies. Limited research however has explored the efficacy via internet. This protocol describes randomised, double-blind, internet-delivered...

Introduction Multidomain interventions to address modifiable risk factors for dementia are promising, but require more cost-effective, scalable delivery. This study investigated the feasibility of “Active Brains” digital behavior change intervention and its trial procedures. Materials methods Active Brains aims reduce cognitive decline by promoting physical activity, healthy eating, online training. We conducted 12-month parallel-design randomized controlled trials amongst “lower scoring” (...
