Radar is useful for monitoring flash flood in urban areas because it provides rainfall data with high spatial and temporal resolution for a wide area. In 2014, the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology introduced the first X-band dual-polarization radar in Korea and has subsequently been researching on flash floods in the metropolitan area using the rainfall data. Considering the various advantages of X-band dual-polarization radar, the Water Hazard Information Platform in Korea introduced two X-band dual-polarization radars (KRU and YSU radars) into the metropolitan area, in 2017. This study described the characteristics of KRU and YSU radars, their observation strategies, and quality control techniques. Moreover, we also assessed the hydrological applications of the X-band dual-polarization radars in the metropolitan area by analyzing three years of rainfall data from 2017 to 2019.

Abstract The Popeye domain-containing gene family encodes a novel class of cAMP effector proteins in striated muscle tissue. In this short review, we first introduce the protein family and discuss their structure and function with an emphasis on their role in cyclic AMP signalling. Another focus of this review is the recently discovered role of POPDC genes as striated muscle disease genes, which have been associated with cardiac arrhythmia and muscular dystrophy. The pathological phenotypes observed in patients will be compared with phenotypes present in null and knockin mutations in zebrafish and mouse. A number of protein–protein interaction partners have been discovered and the potential role of POPDC proteins to control the subcellular localization and function of these interacting proteins will be discussed. Finally, we outline several areas, where research is urgently needed.

In serial memory for spatial information, some studies showed that recall performance suffers when the distance between successive locations increases relatively to the size of the display in which they are presented (the path length effect; e.g., Parmentier et al., 2005) but not when distance is increased by enlarging the size of the display (e.g., Smyth & Scholey, 1994). In the present study, we examined the effect of varying the absolute and relative distance between to-be-remembered items on memory for spatial information. We manipulated path length using small (15″) and large (64″) screens within the same design. In two experiments, we showed that distance was disruptive mainly when it is varied relatively to a fixed reference frame, though increasing the size of the display also had a small deleterious effect on recall. The insertion of a retention interval did not influence these effects, suggesting that rehearsal plays a minor role in mediating the effects of distance on serial spatial memory. We discuss the potential role of perceptual organization in light of the pattern of results.
