Effective approaches to extending medium-term forecasting of persistent severe precipitation in regional models

Evaluation of Omeprazole in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Persistent Asthma in Children

Background and Objective: Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood. The disease is caused by a temporary blockage of airflow due to chronic inflammation of the airways . One of the conditions that often occur with asthma and exacerbate disease, is gastroesophageal reflux. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of acid suppressing therapy in patients with refractory asthma...

Short-term and Medium-term Gas Demand Load Forecasting by Neural Networks

The ability of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for estimating the natural gas demand load for the next day and month of the populated cities has shown to be a real  concern. As the most applicable network, the ANN with multi-layer back propagation perceptrons is used to approximate functions. Throughout the current work, the daily effective temperature is determined, and then the weather data w...

Similarity-based Approaches to Short-term Load Forecasting

Downscaling of Short-Term Precipitation from Regional Climate Models for Sustainable Urban Planning

A framework for downscaling precipitation from RCM projections to the high resolutions in time and space required in the urban hydrological climate change impact assessment is outlined and demonstrated. The basic approach is that of Delta Change, developed for both continuous and event-based applications. In both cases, Delta Change Factors (DCFs) are calculated which represent the expected fut...
