An update on the latest research in the areas of the pressure jump line, objective tornado forecast methods, storm detection by radar, and sferics was presented in a session on applied forecasting research. It was made obvious to the SWU [Severe Forecasting Unit] forecasters that over and above their forecast duties, the development of new and improved methods for forecasting severe storms was expected from them. 2, record 1, English, - radar%20storm%20detection

FluidPac is a facility to conduct experimental investigations on fluids in weightlessness. It is conceived to allow observation and quantitative measurements of typical thermo-capillary phenomena at a free liquid-gas interface, but other kinds of fluid physics experiments may be performed as well. The instrument is reusable, adaptable to the experiment needs, foresees multi-purpose diagnostics, and can accommodate three to four complex experiment containers.... FluidPac also foresees an interface to an improved telecommand and telemetry unit capable to update several experiment parameters on line. 4, record 3, English, - fluid%20physics%20facility

Synchronous Versus Asynchronous Update. Another important issue is the timing of the application of the activation rule. In some models, units are updated asynchronously and at random. The usual assumption is that at each point in time each unit has a fixed probability of evaluating and applying its activation rule and updating its activation value. 3, record 4, English, - asynchronous%20update
