Asymmetrical response of summer rainfall in East Asia to CO forcing.

Understanding the regional hydrological response to varying CO concentration is critical for cost-benefit analysis of mitigation and adaptation polices in the near future. To characterize summer monsoon rainfall change in East Asia in a changing CO pathway, we used the Community Earth System Model (CESM) with 28 ensemble members in which the CO concentration increases at a rate of 1% per year until its quadrupling peak, i.e.

The relationship between graft synovialization and graft revascularization after ACL reconstruction: Assessment using dynamic contrast enhanced-MRI and second-look arthroscopy.

Purpose: To assess graft vascularity via dynamic contrast enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at 1-year and 2-year postoperatively and to evaluate the relationship between the vascularity using DCE-MRI and the synovialization using second-look arthroscopy.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-four patients from prospective data included who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and DCE-MRI. The graft was divided into proximal, middle, and distal zones; average of three zones was calculated.

Changes in the role of Pacific decadal oscillation on sea ice extent variability across the mid-1990s.

Characteristics of sea ice extent (SIE) have been rapidly changing in the Pacific Arctic sector (PAS) in recent years. The SIE variability in PAS during the late spring and early summer (i.e.
