The qRT–PCR reactions were performed using iQSYBR Green super mix (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). To determine the threshold cycle (Ct) when exponential amplification of the PCR products began, an iQ-5 (Bio-Rad) was used to monitor the PCR in real-time. The average Ct, f...
The low bandwidth (+-800 KHz) return echo signal after down-conversion from RF (13.515625 GHz) to IF frequency (15.625 MHz) is digitized and fed to FPGA for subsequent signal processing. The IF digital receiver consists of an ultra high speed 8-bit digitizer, operating along with its ...
Thus, even when creating hydrologic models in poorly gauged regions, it is important to determine whether or not replacing in situ data with precipitation estimation is appropriate. The purpose of this study was twofold. First, we tested the ease/applicability of the conversion and implementation ...
