Toxins, 2020 Protein-bound uremic toxins (PBUTs) are predominantly excreted by renal tubular secretion and hardly removed by traditional hemodialysis (HD). Accumulation of PBUTs is proposed to contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality of patients with end ...

Convective Initiation Proxies for Nowcasting Precipitation Severity Using the MSG-SEVIRI Rapid Scan
Remote Sensing, 2020 In this study, we investigate the ability of several convective initiation predictors based on satellite infrared observations to distinguish convective weak precipitation events from those leading to intense rainfall.

Materializing Convection [PDF]
Architecture and Culture, 2019 This essay uses a physical modeling technique from mechanical engineering, the filling box, as a speculative architectural design tool. In the filling box, dyed salt water is injected into acrylic models submerged within a tank of fresh water, simulating the introduction of cold air into a warm environment or, when mirrored, the introduction of warm ...

A Stochastic Framework for Modeling the Population Dynamics of Convective Clouds
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018 A stochastic prognostic framework for modeling the population dynamics of convective clouds and representing them in climate models is proposed. The framework follows the nonequilibrium statistical mechanical approach to constructing a master equation ...

Multiple‐Instance Superparameterization: 1. Concept, and Predictability of Precipitation
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 We have investigated the predictability of precipitation using a new configuration of the superparameterized Community Atmosphere Model (SP‐CAM). The new configuration, called the multiple‐instance SP‐CAM, or MP‐CAM, uses the average heating and drying ...

Fluids, 2019 We study the steady free convective flow of a Bingham fluid in a porous channel where heat is supplied by both differential heating of the sidewalls and by means of a uniform internal heat generation.

Granular Convection in Microgravity [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2013 We investigate the role of gravity on convection in a dense granular shear flow. Using a microgravity modified Taylor-Couette shear cell under the conditions of parabolic flight microgravity, we demonstrate experimentally that secondary, convective-like flows in a sheared granular material are close to zero in microgravity and enhanced under high ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 The cloud‐permitting model (CPM) of the superparameterized Community Atmosphere Model (SP‐CAM) is a stochastic parameterization. As reported in a companion paper, we have created a variant of SP‐CAM, called MP‐CAM, that uses the averaged feedback of 10 ...
