the areas of the world that have mediterranean style climate are found at about 35 degrees north and south of the equator, on the western sides of continents. the distinctive feature of this climate is the small amount of rain in the summer. overall, the climate has a moderate amount of rainfall and warm winters and hot summers and. the climate of the mediterranean region is conditioned by its ...

Mutation in the cytokine receptor-like factor 1 and the cardiotrophin-like cytokine (CRLF1 or CLCF1 genes) phenotypically presents as cold induced sweating syndrome (CISS), which is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. The syndrome is characterized by paradoxical sweating in cold weather, dysmorphic facial features, musculoskeletal deformities, difficulty in feeding, and unexplained recurrent e...

Abstract Comparisons between anomaly and full-field methods have been carried out in weather analysis forecasting over the last decade. Evidence from these studies has demonstrated superiority of to full field following four aspects: depiction systems, forecasts, diagnostic parameters, model prediction. To promote use further discussion approach, this article summarizes those findings. After ex...

Today, many industrial companies must face problems raised by maintenance. In particular, the anomaly detection problem is probably one of the most challenging. In this paper we focus on the railway maintenance task and propose to automatically detect anomalies in order to predict in advance potential failures. We first address the problem of characterizing normal behavior. In order to extract ...

Global surface temperature anomaly yields serious consequences in the inhabited environment, which is considered responsible for the rising of sea levels, shrinkage of snow-covered areas, shortage of fresh water, and the disasters caused by abnormal weather. Accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere is considered responsible for the global temperature anomaly, and industrial activities have acceler...

In connection with a study of the extreme weather events over the North American continent in '" January, 1977, analyses were performed to investigate characteristic properties of spatial and temporal variation of sea surface temperature for the years of 1976 and 1977, using world distribution of sea surface temperature described in the accompanying paper, part 1. The time evolution of ocean te...

Drought is a period of abnormally dry weather with a serious shortage of water supply. Drought indices can be an advantageous indicator to assess drought for taking further response actions. However, drought indices based on ground meteorological measurements could not completely reveal the land use effects over a regional scale. On the other hand, the satellite-derived products provide consist...
