[1] We present direct radiometric observations of aerosol radiative forcing during the ACE-Asia experiment (March and April of 2001). The observational analysis is based on radiometer data obtained from the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown, and shipboard measurements of the aerosol chemical and scattering properties are used to construct a model of the aerosol optical properties for use in radiative t...

Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease with wide distribution in the Americas. Brazil an endemic country and present cases all states. This study aimed to describe occurrence, underlying clinical epidemiological factors, correlation of climatic variables frequency reported CL municipality Caxias, state Maranhão, Brazil. retrospective descriptive based on data extr...

A simple model for weather forecasting has been described. The model is simple due to the fact that it uses simple mathematical equation using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) equations that can be easily understood by a medium educated farmer. Weather data at a particular station is recorded which is a time-series data. The weather parameters like maximum temperature, minimum temperature and r...

The NOAA-15 weather satellite carries the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units-A and -B (AMSU-A, AMSU-B) which measure thermal emission from an atmospheric oxygen band, two water lines, and several window frequencies. An iterated minimum-variance algorithm retrieves profiles of temperature and humidity in the atmosphere from this data. Relative humidity is converted into absolute humidity with use...

this study has been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the local made charcoal tubes against adsorption of benzene, toluene and xylene vapors. results indicate that desorption capacity and the recovery percentage decrease as the benzene, toluene and xylene concentrations and also relative humidity increase. it is concluded that the water vapor is the major interfere in the adsorption of...

Scabies is a common infectious disease and can cause severe outbreaks if not controlled quickly. Besides personal contact history, environmental factors are also important. This study analyzed the effects of environmental climate factors on the incidence of scabies in Taiwan. We conducted a 14-year nationwide population-based study: a total of 14,883 patients with scabies infestation were enrol...
