OPTIMISATION OF PARAMETERS IN A GERMAN BIGHT CIRCULATION MODEL BY 4DVAR ASSIMILATION OF CURRENT AND WATER LEVEL OBSERVATIONS

Optimisation of Parameters in a German Bight Circulation Model by 4DVAR Assimilation of Current and Water Level Observations

Uncertain parameters in a 3D barotropic circulation model of the German Bight are estimated with a variational optimisation approach.Surface current measurements from a high frequency (HF) radar are used in combination with acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and tide gauge observations as input for a 4DVAR assimilation scheme.The required cos

Membrane interaction of retroviral Gag proteins

Assembly of an infectious retroviral particle relies on multimerization of the Gag polyprotein at the FF ALMOND MOISTURIZER inner leaflet of the plasma membrane.The three domains of Gag common to all retroviruses-- MA, CA, and NC-- provide the signals for membrane binding, assembly, and viral RNA packaging, respectively.These signals do not functio

Oedipus philosopher, innocent responsible

In his two Oedipian tragedies (Oedipus Tyrannus and Oedipus Colonneus) Sophocles presents a complex portrait of human and political condition where we can think responsibility, will and DUM-DUM guilt in their legal, philosophical and religious meanings.This article first contextualizes the tragic document and the history of the individual and Athen
