Cross‐scale intercomparison of climate change impacts simulated by regional and global hydrological models in eleven large river basins
Ideally, the results from models operating at different scales should agree in trend direction and magnitude of impacts under climate change. However, this implies that the sensitivity to climate variability a...

Open AccessPrediction of the Caspian Sea level using ECMWF seasonal forecasts and reanalysis
The hydrological budget of the Caspian Sea (CS) is investigated using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts interim reanalysis (ERAi) and seasonal forecast (FCST) data with the aim of predicti...

Macrophages promote tumour growth and liver metastasis in an orthotopic syngeneic mouse model of colon cancer
Tumour-associated macrophages have been shown to promote proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis in several carcinomas. The effect on colon cancer has not yet been clarified. Furthermore, Kupffer cells in t...

Loss of Survivin influences liver regeneration and is associated with impaired Aurora B function
The chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) acts as a key regulator of mitosis, preventing asymmetric segregation of chromosomal material into daughter cells. The CPC is composed of three non-enzymat...

Extremes and predictability in the European pre-industrial climate of a regional climate model
A high-resolution pre-industrial control simulation with the regional climate model REMO is analyzed in detail for different European subregions. To our knowledge, this is the first long pre-industrial control...

Open AccessSensitivity of climate models to seasonal variability of snow-free land surface albedo
The seasonal variation of snow-free land surface albedo was integrated into the land surface schemes of the global climate model ECHAM5 and the regional climate model REMO to test the sensitivity of climate mo...

Evaluation of water and energy budgets in regional climate models applied over Europe
This study presents a model intercomparison of four regional climate models (RCMs) and one variable resolution atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) applied over Europe with special focus on the hydrol...

Improving a subgrid runoff parameterization scheme for climate models by the use of high resolution data derived from satellite observations
In this study it is shown that the availability of a very high resolution dataset of land surface characteristics leads to the improvement of a surface runoff parameterization scheme. The improved parameteriz...

Nested insertions of short mobile sequences in Drosophila P elements
A potentially full-sized P element isolated from the genome of Drosophila ambigua by polymerase chain reaction amplification was completely sequenced. It has a length of 3329 bp and the termini are formed by 33 ...

A parametrization of the lateral waterflow for the global scale
The representation of hydrological land surface processes has, so far, been treated inadequately in global models of the atmospheric general circulation (GCMs). In particular the lateral waterflows from the c...

Morphology, immunohistochemistry and morphometry of pancreatic islets in cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
The pancreatic islets from 112 infants (66 males and 46 females) who died of SIDS during the years 1990– 1992 have been studied. The control group consisted of endocrine pancreas tissue from 19 infants who di...

Repeated horizontal transfer of P transposons between Scaptomyza pallida and Drosophila bifasciata
Two distinct P element subfamilies, designated M-type and O-type, reside in the genome of D. bifasciata. PCR-screening of 65 Drosophila species revealed that only D. bifasciata and its closest relative D. imaii p...
