Comparing A Simple Stochastic Weather Generator With Two Common Statistical Techniques For Gap-filling Daily Rainfall In Hawaiʻi
Considerable gaps and breaks of varying lengths are present in many historical daily rainfall records for Hawaiʻi. Countless gap-filling techniques exist, some more complex than others, and all are challenged by the spatially variable, complex terrain in Hawaiʻi. A stochastic weather generator …

Bridging the gap : comparative analysis of a gap filling X-band radar QPE algorithms and their implications for nowcasting and hydrological modeling
… examines how a single X-Band radar bridges the gap in QPE estimation and its implications for hydrological modeling and nowcasting. Initially, a comparison between X-band and S-band radars with Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) showed comparable performances within 80km, with …

Damages under the CISG - selected problems
… the provision regulating the interpretation and gap-filling of the Convention. Subsequently, selected specific problems of damages will be examined in Chapter III. Where thought appropriate, the paper will give a brief outline of how the specific question is regulated in domestic laws, followed …

Multitemporal mapping of burned areas in mixed landscapes in eastern Zambia
… area information. A profile-based approach for filling missing data uses multitemporal imagery and exploits the similarity in land cover temporal profiles and spatial relationships to reliably estimate missing data even in areas with significant changes. Testing with simulated missing data from …

AN EXAMINATION OF CHANGES IN THE SOUND ENVIRONMENT AS MODULATORS OF THE HUMAN ACOUSTIC STARTLE RESPONSE IN CONTROL AND TINNITUS SAMPLES
… the startle stimulus by a prepulse (PPI) or a gap in background noise (GPI). This series of three studies examined the efficacy of using silent gaps as prepulse inhibitors of the eyeblink component of the human acoustic startle response, with the expectation that the perceived sound associated …

The effects of an inference instruction intervention on the inference generation and reading comprehension of struggling readers in grades 6 and 7
… inferring word meaning from context) and gap-filling inferences (i.e., inferences that require students to integrate their knowledge about the world with information in text). Treatment effects were estimated using multiple regression analyses. Results indicate that membership in the …

The productive and receptive knowledge of collocations by advanced Arabic-speaking ESL/EFL learners
… collocational knowledge was measured by three gap-filling tests: verb-noun and adjective-noun collocation tests where the initial letter of the collocant was provided and a verb-preposition collocation test where the meaning of the phrasal verb was supplied. Their receptive collocational …

The Acquisition of Past Verb Forms By Saudi EFL Learners
… types of tasks were employed: multiple choice, gap-filling, and storytelling, and they were conducted at three periods: pre intervention, post intervention, and delayed test. A randomly-selected group was invited for stimulated recall interviews immediately after the delayed test. The interviews …

Redefining Egyptian “pastes”: material characterisation and technological developments in Third Intermediate Period coffin sets from Thebes
… including the creation of complete objects, gap-filling, acting as a substrate for decoration, and forming a crucial component of cartonnage—a free-standing composite material made from layers of linen, glue, and paste. Their microstructure and composition provide valuable insights into …

One Flu East, One Flu West, One Flu Over the Cuckoo's Nest: A Cross-Cultural Investigation of Pandemic Influenza Paradoxes in Epidemiology
… information, there are attempts to fill in the gaps in knowledge, which results in paradoxes. Of particular importance in this gap-filling process are the three "C's" of collaboration, conflict, and competition. Collaboration is integral to the successful prevention of influenza pandemics; …

Multi-scale satellite-derived soil moisture modeling across space and time
… to model soil moisture, and fill spatial gaps in satellite-derived data. The study supports the use of geostatistical techniques as effective alternatives for gap-filling in satellite-derived soil moisture products. ☐ The second study focuses on downscaling satellite-derived soil moisture …

Swazi college students' mastery of English logical connectives in science
… The data were collected by means of modified Gap Filling and Sentence Completion items, derived from Gardner's pioneering work, by adapting and refining certain items to be more relevant and meaningful in the local South African context. The data was processed by means of comparing Gardner's …

Disruptive adaptability : a case study in a product development organization
… design what is common is a reactive -"gapflling"-approach. In this work I propose that enhancing the practice of product development is better achieved when it is addressed from a holistic perspective in which either the improvement, optimization or enhancement of the product …

Study of A Direct Measuring Skin Friction Gage with Rubber Compounds for Damping
… that arose with many designs was leakage of a gap-filling liquid. The typical direct measuring skin friction gage uses oil in a gap between the cantilever beam and the encasement to dampen vibrations, to create an even flow over the surface, and for temperature compensation. In high speed …

A Novel Approach to Movement Profiling: Multi-Task Classification for Enhanced Orthopedics Assessment
… noise filtering, temporal resampling, and gap-filling, were applied to the raw data to ensure consistency and comparability across systems. The resulting standardized datasets formed the basis for an analysis pipeline designed to extract meaningful insights from the data, which consisted of …

The Development of a Fragment-Based in silico Profiler for the Prediction of Thiol Reactivity and Toxicity
… the key computational approaches used for data gap filling is category formation and read-across. When using this approach to assess the potential toxicity of a chemical, a chemical category is best defined based on a common molecular initiating event e.g. the formation of a covalent bond with …

Effects of Climate, Forest Structure, Soil Water, & Scale on Biosphere-Atmosphere Gas Exchange in a Great Lakes Mixed-Deciduous Forest
… first described a data processing, analysis, and gap-filling package for the AmeriFlux-affiliated meteorological stations at UMBS. This data package was then utilized to test the sensitivity of carbon fluxes to climate from 2000-12. We found carbon dynamics to be significantly affected by …

'New' police work with offenders? Exploring senior and strategic perspectives
… their genesis and also partly accounted for by ‘gap filling’ in respect of other agencies. The developments sit in tension with short-termism and single-agency thinking, and there is a sense of a predominantly operational-level focus to senior-level thinking and of a ‘retro-fitting’ of legacy …
