Sensitivity Analysis of the Data Assimilation-Driven Decomposition in Space and Time to Solve PDE-Constrained Optimization Problems

This paper is presented in the context of sensitivity analysis (SA) of large-scale data assimilation (DA) models.We studied CHEDDAR consistency, convergence, stability and roundoff error propagation of the reduced-space optimization technique arising in parallel 4D Variational DA problems.The results are helpful to understand the reliability of DA,

A chemical-genetic strategy reveals distinct temporal requirements for SAD-1 kinase in neuronal polarization and synapse formation

Abstract Background Neurons assemble into a functional network through a sequence of developmental processes including neuronal polarization and Board Game fisher price synapse formation.In Caenorhabditis elegans, the serine/threonine SAD-1 kinase is essential for proper neuronal polarity and synaptic organization.To determine if SAD-1 activity reg
