Polarimetric weather radars offer a wealth of new information compared to conventional technology, not only to enhance quantitative precipitation estimation, warnings, and short-term forecasts, but also to improve our understanding of precipitation generating processes and their representation in numerical weather prediction models. To support such research opportunities, this paper describes an open-access dataset between 2014-2019 collected by the polarimetric Doppler X-band weather radar in Bonn (BoXPol), western Germany. To complement this dataset, the technical radar characteristics, scanning strategy and the best-practice for radar data processing are detailed.

Methods: Four hospitals included 111 patients according to the common protocol for prospective clinical evaluation of sutureless ventral hernioplasty. Surgical technique involves placement of the polypropylene mesh with flat-shape memory in either the retromuscular or preperitoneal space without suture anchoring.
Background: Venous thromboembolism is a relevant social and health care problem because of its high incidence among patients who undergo surgery (20-30% after general surgical operations and 50-75% after orthopedic procedures), its pulmonary embolism-related mortality rate, and its long-term sequelae (postthrombotic syndrome and ulceration), which may be disabling. This study aimed to determine the coagulation status and the presence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing laparoscopic (LC) and open cholecystectomy (OC).
Methods: Prospectively, 114 patients were randomized into two groups.
