Radar-equivalent snowpack: reducing the number of snow layers while retaining their microwave properties and bulk snow mass by J. Meloche, N. R. Leroux, B. Montpetit, V. Vionnet, C. Derksen

“…<p>Snow water equivalent (SWE) retrieval from Ku-band radar measurements is possible with complex retrieval algorithms involving prior information on the snowpack microstructure and a microwave radiative transfer model to link backscatter measurements to snow properties. A key variable in a retrieval is the number of snow layers, with more complex layering yielding richer information but at an increased computational cost and number of unknowns. …”

Multiple metabolic requirements for size homeostasis and initiation of division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Shivatheja Soma, Kailu Yang, Maria I. Morales, Michael Polymenis

“…Furthermore, we show that adenylate kinase, encoded by ADK1, is a significant determinant of the efficiency of size control mechanisms. Finally, our data argue strongly that the cell size at division is not necessarily a function of the rate cells increase in size in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. …”
