A coupled regional atmosphere-wave model system is developed with the purpose of investigating the impact of climate changes on the wave field, as well as feed-back effects of the wave field on the atmospheric parameters.This study focuses on the effects of introducing a two-way atmosphere-wave coupling on the atmosphere as well as on wave paramete
This study investigates the large-scale circulation anomalies of strong and weak cold surges in southern China.Results show that the strong and weak surges are associated with a distinct Rossby wave train across Eurasia projecting onto the Scandinavia (SCAND) and Eurasian (EU) patterns.On one hand, the strong surge is preceded by a positive SCAND p
A series of economical and flexible fabrics were prepared using high-strength polyester yarns with different fabric structures, weft density and number of layers.The effect of these factors on quasi-static puncture resistance was comparatively studied.The failure mode of the fabrics was analyzed with SEM photographs.Findings indicate that the struc
Introduction BCG vaccination modulates SHARP VISION CLAIRE immune responses to unrelated pathogens.This off-target effect could reduce the impact of emerging pathogens.As a readily available, inexpensive intervention that has a well-established safety profile, BCG is a good candidate for protecting healthcare workers (HCWs) and other vulnerable gro
