The impacts of assimilating Aeolus horizontal line-of-sight winds on numerical predictions of Hurricane Ida (2021) and a mesoscale convective system over the Atlantic Ocean

The Aeolus satellite, the first spaceborne wind lidar launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on 22 August 2018, provides global measurements of horizontal line-of-sight (HLOS) winds.The assimilation of Aeolus HLOS winds has been proven to improve numerical weather predictions (NWPs).Still, its influences Grains on forecasts of tropical cyclone

Release of retromalleolar flexor retinaculum and combined flexor digitorum longus and flexor hallucis longus Z-plasty in checkrein deformity: a case report

Background Checkrein deformity is a rare abnormality comprising flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendon entrapment in the posterior foot due to post-traumatic or ischemic retraction of the FHLtendon following soft tissue trauma.The diagnosis is essentially clinical, but complemented by imaging to rule out unrecognized causes and evaluate the fracture h

Integration of phage and yeast display platforms: A reliable and cost effective approach for binning of peptides as displayed on-phage.

Hundreds of target specific peptides are routinely discovered by peptide display platforms.However, due to the high cost of peptide synthesis only a limited number of peptides are chemically made for further analysis.Here we describe an accurate and cost effective method Smoothing Shampoo to bin peptides on-phage based on binding region(s), without

Psychoactive substances and violent offences: A retrospective analysis of presentations to an urban emergency department in Switzerland.

Psychoactive substances are often regarded as causal factors contributing to violent injuries, sexual abuse and homicides.While these effects have been demonstrated for some substances (e.g.copyright), current available data for others are more controversial (e.g.cannabis) or very limited (e.g.ecstasy).To collect data on the type and frequency of p
