For Turkey to achieve the targets of Vision 2023 being in top ten economies world, eleventh National Development Plan (NDP11) focuses on ensuring uninterrupted, high-quality, sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supply. In this regard medium- long-term supply-demand planning is regarded as a key input process. Medium possible only when forecasts are available. Using Turkey’s electrical c...

The industrial small-town development process in Shandong is influenced by the urban agglomeration strategy and regional collaborative production, thereby resulting a challenge of growth boundary planning. How to build forecast decision support system help small towns maintain sustainable with limited trial error costs an essential topic current research town-related fields. Empirical analysis ...

The authors have adjusted the DLR forecast model to evaluate environmental benefits in terms of CO2 and NOx emissions Clean Sky 2 technology innovations. paper briefly describes employed: it consists a passenger/flight volume forecast, fleet model, emission modelling. novelty approach compared previous studies is that based on airport pairs instead larger aggregates like countries or regions. T...

Ensemble techniques have been used to generate daily numerical weather forecasts since the 1990’s in numerical centers around the world due to the increase of computation ability. One of the main purposes of numerical ensemble forecast tends to assimilate initial uncertainty (both observation and analysis errors) and forecast uncertainty (model errors) by applying either initial perturbation me...

INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common non-neoplastic disorder of aging American men.1 The prevalence of BPH increases from 8% in men between 31 and 40 years of age to 50% in men between 51 and 60 years of age to more than 80% in men older than 80 years of age.2,3 Although the exact etiologic mechanism of BPH is unknown, hormonal changes involving the accumulation of...

Proper use of climatic forecast information in planning and implementing agricultural activities is critical for the improvement of the wellbeing of smallholder farmers whose livelihoods depend on rain-fed agriculture. This study employed a descriptive cross-sectional design involving 12 focus group discussions and 255 household interviews to determine the extent to which smallholder farmers in...

Models of ecological responses to climate change fundamentally assume that predictor variables, which are often measured at large scales, are to some degree diagnostic of the smaller-scale biological processes that ultimately drive patterns of abundance and distribution. Given that organisms respond physiologically to stressors, such as temperature, in highly non-linear ways, small modelling er...
