Influences of Two Land-Surface Schemes on RegCM4 Precipitation Simulations over the Tibetan Plateau by Xuejia Wang, Meixue Yang, Guojin Pang

“…Higher soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and heating effects in the BATS experiment triggered changes in atmospheric circulation patterns over the TP. Moreover, BATS simulated the lower atmosphere as warmer and more humid and the upper atmosphere (~150 hPa) as colder than the CLM simulations; these characteristics likely increased the instability for moist convection and produced more summer precipitation.…”

Stress generation, relaxation and size control in confined tumor growth. by Huaming Yan, Daniel Ramirez-Guerrero, John Lowengrub, Min Wu

“…Our study provides insight on how the biophysical properties of the tumor and host microenvironment, mechanical feedback control and diffusion-limited differential growth act in concert to regulate spatial patterns of stress and growth. When the tumor is stiffer than the host, our model predicts tumors are more able to change their size and mechanical state autonomously, which may help to explain why increased tumor stiffness is an established hallmark of malignant tumors.…”
