background and objectives: food security has been most important concern of the mankind on the earth. on the other hand, agricultural productions have always been face by risk probability in the case of weather and changes in international markets, however this risk probability never undeleted completely, but could be minimized that by pre-harvesting yield estimation. in this study, different m...

This study presents a methodology for risk analysis and assessment of drought disaster to agricultural production in the maize-growing area of Songliao Plain of China based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) from the viewpoints of climatology, geography, disaster science, and environmental science and so on. Crop yield–climate analysis and regression analysis were employed to analyze and...

Background—ACC/AHA Appropriate Use Criteria recommend performing stress MPI for intermediate to high-risk patients presenting with syncope, but not for low-risk patients. However, there are limited data to support these recommendations. We investigated the yield of stress MPI for the evaluation of syncope in patients at risk but without known CAD Methods and Results—From the Cleveland Clinic IR...

The age-adjusted risk for lung cancer among over 120,000 male current cigarette smokers in the American Cancer Society’s 1959-1972 prospective study was analyzed according to tar yield and quantity smoked per day. At each quantity level, the risk increased with increasing tar yield, and at each tar level, the risk increased with numbers of cigarettes smoked daily. The risks in smokers of cigare...

Agriculture is a sector easily affected by meteorological conditions. Crop yield reduction, even regional conflicts, may occur during a drought. It is extremely important to improve the state of our knowledge on agricultural drought risk. This study has proposed a new method (vulnerability surfaces) for assessing vulnerability quantitatively and continuously by including the environmental varia...

The present research investigated the role of blood viscosity on flow within a microvascular network to identify the conditions of blood flow stagnation. When the yield stress of blood was less than 0.005 Pa, there were no stagnant regions in the microvasculature. However, when the yield stress increased to 0.05 Pa, stagnant or reduced flow areas began to appear, which grew and expanded rapidly...

assessment of agricultural drought risk at critical times before and during the growing season can provide sufficient time to policy makers and farmers to implement appropriate strategies to reduce the potential of risk. the purpose followed in the present study is to develop a statistical model to estimate the quality of agricultural drought risk for rainfed barley crop (prior to planting and ...
