This study aims to evaluate NASA POWER reanalysis products for daily surface maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperatures, solar radiation (Rs), relative humidity (RH) wind speed (Ws) when compared with observed data from 14 distributed weather stations across Alentejo Region, Southern Portugal, a hot summer Mediterranean climate. Results showed that there is good agreement between all parame...

In x Al1-x N films were deposited on Si(100) substrate using metal-organic molecular beam epitaxy. We investigated the effect of the trimethylindium/trimethylaluminum (TMIn/TMAl) flow ratios on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of In x Al1-x N films. Surface morphologies and microstructure of the In x Al1-x N films were measured by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron ...

Aim Initiation of autumnal leaf senescence is crucial for plant overwintering and ecosystem dynamics. Previous studies have focused on the advanced stages reported that climatic warming delayed senescence, despite fundamental differences among senescence. However, timing onset coloration (DLCO), earliest visual sign has rarely been studied. Here, we assessed response DLCO to temperature. Locati...

With the increase of sophistication and severity of DDoS attack, it is important for a victim site to quickly identify the potential attackers and eliminate their traffic. Our work is based on the probabilistic marking algorithm by Savage[12] in which an attack graph can be constructed by a victim site. We extend the concept further such that we can deduce the local traffic rate of each router ...

apparent with a physiological level of glucocorticoids of about 0.3 @tMin humans, as shown in experiments on hepatoma cells (4) and L5i 78Y cells(6)in vitro,Factor1 maypossiblyenhance the effect of physiological levels of glucocorticoid in vivo and thus may itself have the therapeutic effects of glucocorticoid. In this work, we examine (a) the effect of Factor 1 on the growth inhibition by gluc...

Multiple linear regression models (pest-weather models) were developed between monthly mean brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens light trap catches and monthly mean values of minimum temperature (Tmin), maximum temperature (Tmax), morning relative humidity (RH 1 ) and evening relative humidity (RH 2 ) observed at Maruteru, Andhra Pradesh during 2000-2007 kharif seasons. Comparison betwee...

OBJECTIVE After reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) external and internal rotation will often remain restricted. A postoperative alteration of the biomechanics in the remaining cuff is discussed as a contributing factor to these functional deficits. METHODS In this study, muscle moment arms as well as origin-to-insertion distance (OID) were calculated using three-dimensional models of the sho...

Temperature is a critical environmental factor regulating plant growth and yield. Corn major agronomic crop produced globally over vast geographic region, highly variable climatic conditions occur spatially temporally throughout these regions. Current literature lacks comprehensive study comparing the effects of temperature on above versus below-ground development biomass partitioning corn meas...

evaporation is one of the main parameters for the optimum operation of reservoirs, design of irrigation systems and scientific management of water resources. accurate estimation of the water evaporation level is crucial in any region especially in arid and semiarid regions. in this study, the feasibility of simulation of pan evaporation in maraghe station using the multiple regression models we...

This study investigates the trend in monthly and annual rainfall, minimum maximum temperature (Tmin Tmax) using Mann–Kendall (MK) test Sen’s slope (SS) method evaluates significance of their variability for maize, sorghum millet yields northern Togo employing multiple regression analysis. The historical data Kara, Niamtougou, Mango Dapaong weather stations from 1977 to 2012 were used. Four non-...
