The Effects of Climate Change on Extreme Precipitation Events in the Upper Thames River Basin: A Comparison of Downscaling Approaches
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three downscaling approaches, namely the Statistical DownScaling Model (SDSM), Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS-WG), and the K-NN Weather Generator with Principal Component Analysis (WG-PCA), for the Upper Thames River Basin in Ontario, Canada.

ResilSIM—A Decision Support Tool for Estimating Resilience of Urban Systems
TL;DR: ResilSIM as discussed by the authors is a decision support tool that rapidly estimates the resilience (a modern disaster management measure that is dynamic in time and space) of an urban system to the consequences of natural disasters.

Delineation of precipitation regions using location and atmospheric variables in two Canadian climate regions: the role of attribute selection
TL;DR: In this paper, the ability of four attribute sets to form large coherent precipitation zones is assessed in terms of the regional homogeneity of precipitation statistics and computational efficiency, and the outcomes provide guidance for effective attribute selection for future studies in Canada.

Delineation of precipitation regions in two Canadian study areas: the role of the temporal resolution of the precipitation data
TL;DR: In this article, the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm was used to partition climate sites into statistically homogeneous precipitation regions, and the regions were validated using an approach based on L-moment statistics.

NRAGE Mediates p38 Activation and Neural Progenitor Apoptosis via the Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signaling Cascade
Stephen E. Kendall,Chiara Battelli,Chiara Battelli,Sarah Irwin,Jane Mitchell,Carlotta A. Glackin,Joseph M. Verdi +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BMP signaling is required for the induction of apoptosis of neural progenitors and that NRAGE is a mandatory component of the signaling cascade and that both canonical and noncanonical pathways can converge and regulate BMP-mediated apoptosis.
