This paper discusses results of a simulation with the regional climate model HIRHAM for 1958-2001, driven by the ECMWF reanalysis (ERA40) data over the Arctic domain. The aim is to analyze the ability of the model to capture certain features of climate extremes derived from daily mean, maximum and minimum temperatures. For this purpose, a range of climate indices (frost days, cold and warm spel...

In this paper, we abstract a kind of stochastic processes from evolving processes of growing networks, this process is called growing network Markov chains. Thus the existence and the formulas of degree distribution are transformed to the corresponding problems of growing network Markov chains. First we investigate the growing network Markov chains, and obtain the condition in which the steady ...

We apply the self-organization considering falseneighbor degree to the fine-tuning of Growing Grid after the growth process is finished. This study proposes a Growing Grid with False-Neighbor degree (FN-GG). We confirm that FN-GG can self-organize the input data, which is in a rectangular input space, most effectively.

Climate change is expected to influence cooling and heating energy demand of residential buildings affect overall thermal comfort. Towards this end, the (HDD) (CDD) degree-days along with HDD + CDD were computed from an ensemble seven high-resolution bias-corrected simulations attained EURO-CORDEX under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP4.5 RCP8.5). These three indicators analyzed f...

Understanding the impact of a pest species on a particular crop is critical for the success of a pest management program. Field studies were conducted to determine the effect of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, on marketable yield of strawberries during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 growing seasons. Low, medium, and high mite infestation levels were established by initial ino...
