Comparison of Absorbed and Intercepted Fractions of PAR for Individual Trees Based on Radiative Transfer Model Simulations
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021-03-11)The fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) is a key parameter for estimating the gross primary production (GPP) of trees. For continuous, dense forest canopies, fAPAR, is often equated with the ... -

A comparison of adipose and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell secreted factors in the treatment of systemic inflammation
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2014-01)Background: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are a cell population of intense exploration for therapeutic use in inflammatory diseases. Secreted factors released by BMSCs are responsible for the ... -
A Comparison of Airborne In Situ Cloud Microphysical Measurement with Ground-Based C-Band Radar Observations in Deep Stratiform Regions of African Squall Lines
(American Meteorological Society, 2015-12)This study addresses clouds with significant ice water content (IWC) in the stratiform regions downwind of the convective cores of African squall lines in the framework of the French–Indian satellite Megha-Tropiques project, ... -
A comparison of aircraft trajectory-based and aggregate queue-based control of airport taxi processes
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers / American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics / IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society, 2010-10)There is significant potential to decrease fuel burn, emissions, and delays of aircraft at airports by optimizing surface operations. A simple surface traffic optimization approach is to hold aircraft back at the gates ... -
A comparison of approaches to improve worst-case predictive model performance over patient subpopulations
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Predictive models for clinical outcomes that are accurate on average in a patient population may underperform drastically for some subpopulations, potentially introducing or reinforcing ... -
Comparison of aromatic hydrocarbon measurements made by PTR-MS, DOAS and GC-FID during the MCMA 2003 Field Experiment
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2011-02)A comparison of aromatic hydrocarbon measurements is reported for the CENICA supersite in the district of Iztapalapa during the Mexico City Metropolitan Area field experiment in April 2003 (MCMA 2003). Data from three ... -
A Comparison of Atmospheric Reanalysis Products for the Arctic Ocean and Implications for Uncertainties in Air–Sea Fluxes
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-07)The uncertainties related to atmospheric fields in the Arctic Ocean from commonly used and recently available reanalysis products are investigated. Fields from the 1) ECMWF Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim), 2) Common ... -
A Comparison of Atmospheric Reanalysis Surface Products over the Ocean and Implications for Uncertainties in Air–Sea Boundary Forcing
(American Meteorological Society, 2013-01)This paper investigates the uncertainties related to atmospheric fields from reanalysis products used in forcing ocean models. Four reanalysis products, namely from 1) the interim ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim), 2) version ... -
Comparison of brittle- and viscous creep in quartzites: Implications for semi-brittle flow of rocks
(Elsevier BV, 2018-08)The co-existence and interaction between brittle and viscous deformation processes contributes to the integrated strength of the crust and results in a wide range of energy-release mechanisms ranging from earthquakes to ... -
A comparison of CABAC throughput for HEVC/H.265 VS. AVC/H.264
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-10)The CABAC entropy coding engine is a well known throughput bottleneck in the AVC/H.264 video codec. It was redesigned to achieve higher throughput for the latest video coding standard HEVC/H.265. Various improvements were ... -
Comparison of cardiovascular parameter estimation methods using swine data
(Springer Netherlands, 2019-05)Abstract: In this study, new and existing methods of estimating stroke volume, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance from analysis of the arterial blood pressure waveform were tested over a wide range of conditions. ... -
Comparison of Cas9 activators in multiple species
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-05)Several programmable transcription factors exist based on the versatile Cas9 protein, yet their relative potency and effectiveness across various cell types and species remain unexplored. Here, we compare Cas9 activator ... -
Comparison of cellular responses induced by low level light in different cell types
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2010-02)Discoveries are rapidly being made in multiple laboratories that shed "light" on the fundamental molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the use of low level light therapy (LLLT) in vitro, in animal models and in ... -
Comparison of channels: criteria for domination by a symmetric channel
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-05)This paper studies the basic question of whether a given channel V can be dominated (in the precise sense of being more noisy) by a q-ary symmetric channel. The concept of less noisy relation between channels originated ... -
Comparison of complete scaling and a field-theoretic treatment of asymmetric fluid criticality
(American Physical Society, 2012-03)We investigate the connection between the theory of complete scaling and a field-theoretic (FT) treatment of asymmetric fluid criticality. To facilitate the comparison, we develop an equation of state from a simplified ... -
Comparison of computational algorithms for simulating an electrospray plume with a n-body approach
