variability only to a long term increasingly upward trend. To isolate and properly investigates the seasonal component and possible relationships with the sources of variation in skin cancer incidence it is necessary to separate uncorrelated obscuring time scales such as random noise and the long term trend [7]. Separation is achieved using a combination of low pass Kolmogorov-Zurbenko Filters ...

The historical floods that have occurred since the seventeenth century were collected for a study area in southern Italy. Damages caused by floods, rainfall and the main anthropogenic modifications are discussed all together. The aim was to assess whether the frequency of floods is changing and, if so, whether these changes can be attributed to either rainfall and/or anthropogenic modifications...

Many diverse infectious diseases exhibit seasonal dynamics. Seasonality in disease incidence has been attributed to seasonal changes in pathogen transmission rates, resulting from fluctuations in extrinsic climate factors. Multi-strain infectious diseases with strain-specific seasonal signatures, such as cholera, indicate that a range of seasonal patterns in transmission rates is possible in id...

This study aimed to examine the spatiotemporal seasonal and annual trends of rainfall indices in Perak, Malaysia, during last 35 years, as any or spatial variability may influence regional hydrological cycle water resources. Mann–Kendall Sequential (SMK) tests were used assess trends. Precipitation concentration index was estimate variations concentration, Theil–Sen’s slope estimator determine ...

A 70-year record of daily monsoon-season rainfall at a network of 13 stations in central-western India is analyzed using a 4state homogeneous hidden Markov model (HMM). The diagnosed states are seen to play distinct roles in the seasonal march of the monsoon, can be associated with “active” and “break” monsoon phases and capture the northward propagation of convective disturbances associated wi...

rainfall and flow rate are of the most important climatic and hydrologic parameters whose investigation and determination of their behavior are of great importance in water resources management. one of the most suitable methods available for assessment of hydro-climatological conditions in the watershed is trend analysis which is used to examine the changes of a variable during time. current st...
