Accurate monitoring and forecasting of drought are crucial. They play a vital role in the optimal functioning irrigation systems, risk management, readiness, alleviation. In this work, Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, comprising Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLPNN) Co-Active Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (CANFIS), regression, model including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), were in...

The effects of a monoclonal antibody against L-selectin [leukocyte adhesion molecule (LAM)1-3] on microvascular fluid flux were determined in conscious sheep subjected to a combined injury of 40% third-degree burn and smoke inhalation. This combined injury induced a rapid increase in systemic prefemoral lymph flow (sQlymph) from the burned area and a delayed-onset increase in lung lymph flow. T...

The acquisition of new genetic traits by horizontal gene transfer and their incorporation into preexisting regulatory networks have been essential events in the evolution of bacterial pathogens. An example of successful assimilation of virulence traits is Salmonella enterica, which acquired, at distinct evolutionary times, Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI-1), required for efficient invasi...

This study used the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and runoff (SRI) to analyze dry humid conditions in hill-country catchment area of Laborec River (Slovakia) over a period 50 years (1970–2019). Analysis SPI SRI various time scales showed occurrence wet periods (index > 1.0) that were associated with exceeding long-term norm, below −1.0), which result small amounts precipitation. cor...

The aim of this study is to investigate climate change impact on Karoon3 basin in future periods. For this purpose, the simulated precipitation of 10 AOGCM models, including BCM2.0, CGCM3T63, CNRMCM3, CSIROMK3.0, GFDLCM2.0, GISS-ER, HADCM3, INMCM3.0, IPSLCM4, MIROC3.2 MEDRES was used to simulate drought index. Monthly precipitation was calculated by inverse distance weighted method. Standard Pr...
