abstract consistent decreasing and increasing of temperature in the short-term period that is called freezing and thaw cycles is one of the important factors of damage to crop productions. in this research as to determine freezing and thaw cycles in the khorasan razavi province, the data of daily minimum and maximum temperatures of 9 synoptic stations was used over 20 statistic years (1989-2008...

To understand better the annual cycles of atmospheric humidity, radiosonde data were used to create climatologies of temperature, dew point, relative humidity, and precipitable water in the lower troposphere for 56 locations around the world for the period 1973-1990. On the basis of the annual ranges of relative humidity at the surface and at the 850, 700, and 500 mbar levels and the ratio of t...

extended abstract 1. introduction ascent rainfall mechanism is “one of the most important factors in leading to various rainfall behaviors in different regions, such as various atmospheric precipitation seen in different time scales” (masoompour, miri, zolfaghari, & yarahmadi, 2013, p. 299). in fact, some of them can be called atmospheric phenomena due to their special nature. one of these atmo...

BACKGROUND Climatic variables can determine malaria transmission dynamics. To see the correlation between malaria occurrence and climatic variables, records of malaria episodes over eight years period were analyzed incorporating climatic variables around Gilgel-Gibe Hydroelectric Dam and control sites. METHODS Records of 99,206 confirmed malaria episodes registered between 2003 and 2011 were ...

The goal of this survey was to analyze the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of Culicoides Latreille species (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) and their relationship with environmental variables in Salta, northwestern Argentina. Culicoides were collected monthly from January 2003 through December 2005. The influence of the climatic variables on population abundance was analyzed with a multilevel P...

precipitation regime refers to distribution of seasonal- monthly precipitation. by studying this character, it could be find out about the most important parts of mechanism(s) dominant in temporal distribution of precipitation. precipitation regime can have positive or negative effects on other environmental components performance. in the present research, the monthly data in 73 stations during...

Bio-nanocomposite films based on sago starch containing 2% cinnamon essential oil and 3% titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used in the packaging of fresh pistachios and stored at different temperatures (4, 25, and 35 ˚C) and relative humidity (30, 50, and 70%) for 20 days, and pistachio properties were evaluated in five-day intervals. Using these films in packaging improved the physicochemica...
