there are two approaches regarding environmental changes. one of the is ignoring them and continuing present trend in future, and the other is identifying these changes and preparing environmental management program in order to control their negative impacts and plan for the improvement of environmental condition. anzali international wetland is one of the protected wetlands in iran which is in...

Abstract. Sea-level observations provide information on a variety of processes occurring over different temporal and spatial scales that may contribute to coastal flooding hazards. However, global research sea-level extremes is restricted hourly datasets, which prevent the quantification analyses at timescales between few minutes hours. These shorter-period processes, like seiches, meteotsunami...

This paper proposes a framework termed Probabilistic Sea-Level Rise Hazard Analysis (PSLRHA), to integrate the sea-level rise knowledge of current climate change scientific communities for informed engineering and policy decisions that affect coastal infrastructure, populations, and ecosystems. PSLRHA combines probabilities of all emission scenarios with predictions of the resulting sea-level r...

PURPOSE To evaluate whether the risk of prostate cancer was different according to the pattern of fluctuation in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients undergoing repeat transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx). METHODS From March 2003 to December 2012, 492 patients underwent repeat TRUS-Bx. The patients were stratified into 3 groups based on the PSA fluctuation pat...

The paper analyzes the melting pace of ice cap in the North Pole and its influence on the rising sea level. The paper constructs the linear and non-linear models between rising sea level and the year by quoting data from Florida Tide Gage Station. The paper also contrasts the two models and selects the non-linear model. By adopting the model, the paper predicts the height of rising sea level ev...
