“…Matching the radar resolution to that of the model, should minimize numerical effects, while focusing on physical features. In particular, the belt and cell features in precipitation fields [18,19] are better simulated with RDA. Higher vertical resolution used in "cube-smoothing" RDA allows also to correct the position of the condensation level, which reduces the phase error.…”

This study presents a pre-processing approach adopted for the radar reflectivity data assimilation and results of simulations with the Harmonie numerical weather prediction model.The method shows an improvement of precipitation prediction within the radar location area in both the rain rates and spatial pattern presentation. With the assimilation of radar data, the model simulates larger water content in the middle troposphere within the layer from 1 to 6 km, with major variations at 2.5-3 km; it also reproduces better the mesoscale belt and cell patterns of precipitation fields.

“…For example, it has been noted that long term use of cytostatic capecitabine may cause loss of usable fingerprints for identification. 64 Thus, for such patients, as well as for individuals missing an arm, reference templates cannot be generated in biometric systems based on fingerprints. Generally speaking, it is not very likely that a single approach will be satisfactory for airport security and airline safety needs.…”

Summary:As the number of air passengers continues to increase worldwide, so do the security demands and challenges in the air transport industry, particularly in lieu of numerous recent terrorist attacks. One of the essential requirements in fulfilling these needs resides in the accurate and timely identification of passengers and other participants in the air transport flow. Biometrics represents identification of individuals based on their quantifiable biological characteristics in automatic pattern recognition systems and is considered one of the most reliable means for personal identification. It is, therefore, not surprising that biometric technologies have an increasing presence in the air transportation industry. The intent of this review is to familiarize readers with biometric tools aimed at establishing and maintaining high security at airports and during flight, as well as to point out promising emerging biometric applications in the field.

“…Recent studies indicated that several freshwater fishes cultivated 127 in fish ponds around the PRD and purchased from local markets all contained DDTs 128 (Cheung et al, 2006), and in particular the Mandarin fish (Siniperca kneri) are of actual 129 concern, which could contain DDTs up to 4.3 times higher (62 µg kg-1 wet wt.) than 130 128, 134, 136, 138, 144, 146, 147, 151, 153, 157, 158 165 (total hexa-PCBs), 173,174,177,179,180,187,190,191 (total hepta-PCBs), 194, 195, 166 199, 203…”

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in 138 soil samples collected in Hong Kong. Results showed that within the selected OCPs, only DDT and its metabolites (DDD and DDE) were frequently detected. Of 138 soil samples, 18% were non-detected for any DDT residues, while 25% were contaminated sporadically with DDT only (non-detected to 1090 µg kg−1) and 57% contained various combinations of DDT, DDD and DDE (2.03 to 1118 µg kg−1). In contrast, total PCBs (∑66 congeners) contamination was distributed more evenly (0.22 to 154 µg kg−1) than DDTs, but serious contamination was found in industrial areas and soils collected near highways. Concentrations of 7 indicator PCBs ranged between non-detected to 34.5 µg kg−1. The ratios of DDT/metabolites were typically greater than 1, thus suggesting recent application of DDT. Medium-range deposition from industrial areas within as well as away from the city is also suspected to be the origins of DDTs and PCBs found in Hong Kong soils. The concentrations of DDTs and PCBs in all soil samples did not exceed the recommended values in soil quality guidelines except 3 samples for DDT from locations far away from densely populated districts such as Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai. Therefore, DDTs and PCBs were not of significant concern in terms of their impacts on public health and environment.
