regional impact studies of the future climate change effects are necessary because projected changes in meteorological variables differ from one region to another, and different climate systems can react in varied ways to the same changes. in this study, the effects of climate change on bioclimatic deficiency were compared in two cultivation methods (irrigated and rainfed) in a semi-arid region...

Climate change has direct and indirect consequences on crop production and food security. Agriculture and cropproduction is one of the factors which depend on the weather conditions and it provides the human requirements inmany aspects. The objective of this study is to assess the impacts of future climatic change on irrigated rice yieldusing the CERES-Rice model in the Southern Coast of Caspia...

Background: Researchers have mentioned that safety climate may predict occupational accidents and psychological distresses in the workplace. The present study examined degree of safety climate related to occupational stress and its dimensions among workers’ Isfahan Steel Company. Methods: A self-administered anonymous was distributed to 189 workers. The survey included demographic factors, oc...

We provide a statistical interpretation of current practice in climate modelling. This includes: definitions for weather and climate; clarifying the relationship between simulator output and simulator climate; distinguishing between a climate simulator and a statistical climate model; statistical interpretation of the ubiquitous practice of anomaly correction, and a substantial generalisation (...

Just under half of all energy consumption in the UK today takes place indoors, and over a quarter within our homes. The challenges associated with energy security, climate change and sustainable consumption will be overcome or lost in our existing buildings. A background analysis, and the scale of the engineering challenge for the next three to four decades, is described in this paper.

safety climate received substantial attention due to its potential for explaining variation in safety-related outcomes. aim of present study was to determine degree of safety climate related to incidents reporting rate and its dimensions among workers’ isfahan steel company. a self-administered anonymous was distributed to 189 workers. the survey included demographic factors, incidents reportin...
