COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT SEQUENTIAL ASSIMILATION ALGORITHMS FOR SATELLITE-DERIVED LEAF AREA INDEX USING THE DATA ASSIMILATION RESEARCH TESTBED (VERSION LANAI)

The leaf area index (LAI) is a crucial parameter for understanding the exchanges of mass and energy between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere.In Bottle Jack this study, the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) has been successfully coupled to the Community Land Model with explicit carbon and nitrogen components (CLM4CN) by assimilating

Abstract The muscle of aquatic crustaceans is perishable and susceptible to environmental contamination.Vibrio harveyi is a widely occurring pathogen in aquatic animals.Here, bath treatment with a virulent V.harveyi strain (which was added directly in the rearing water to imitate environmental contamination) isolated from the muscle of the whiteleg

Abstract Studies to understand the growth of organisms on Mars are hampered by the use of simulants to duplicate martian mineralogy and chemistry.Even though such materials are improving, no terrestrial simulant can replace a real martian sample.Here we report the use of actual martian regolith, in the form of Mars meteorite EETA79001 sawdust, to d

Abstract Since its debut in the biomedical research fields in 1981, zebrafish have been used as a Race Pants vertebrate model organism in more than 40,000 biomedical research studies.Especially useful are zebrafish lines expressing fluorescent proteins in a molecule, intracellular organelle, cell or tissue specific manner because they allow the vis
