Complex Entropic Forms for Gradient Pattern Analysis of Spatio-temporal Dynamics

Assessment of Neonate's Congenital Hypothyroidism Pattern Using Poisson Spatio-temporal Model in Disease Mapping under the Bayesian Paradigm during 2011-18 in Guilan, Iran

Background: Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the reasons for mental retardation and defective growth in neonates. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early. The congenital hypothyroidism can be diagnosed using newborn screening in the first days after birth. Disease mapping helps to identify high-risk areas of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of CH using the Poisso...

Spatio-Temporal Parameters' Changes in Gait of Male Elderly Subjects

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. Methods & Materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. A four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. Kinematic data c...

Spatio-temporal trend and change detection of temperature and precipitation of Kashafroud basin

 The study of meteorological characteristics and its variability is important in assessing the climate change impacts for water resources management. Trend analysis of hydrological and meteorological time series is a method for determining the change in climate variables that is performed with different parametric and non-parametric methods. In this research, the annual, seasonal and monthly tr...

Spatio-temporal analysis of snow cover in Iran based on topographic characteristics

Modelling the dynamic spatio-temporal response of predators to transient prey patches in the field

Biosketch. Linton Winder's research interests relate to the population dynamics of generalist predators and their prey, and in particular how spatio-temporal pattern mediates such interactions. Summary The spatio-temporal dynamics of two aphid species (Metopolophium dirhodum and Sitobion avenae) and a generalist predator (Pterostichus melanarius) were observed in a field-scale study using a gri...
