The aim of this study was to investigate the link between ambulance transports due to heat stroke and air temperature by using daily data of ambulance transports in Okayama prefecture, Japan. Daily observations for ambulance transports due to heat stroke from July to September in 2010 in Okayama prefecture, Japan were obtained from Fire and Disaster Management Agency in Japan. Data of meteorolo...

Radioactivity in the atmosphere originates from natural radioactive decay, cosmogenic production, nuclear weapons testing and nuclear accidents. Results of the measurements have shown that cosmogenic 7Be is the only gamma emitting nuclide found in the atmosphere of Iran (1). 7Be (t1/2 = 53d) is one of the radioactive products of the bombardment of the atmosphere by cosmic rays. About 75% of 7Be...

Abstract. Small unmanned aerial systems (sUASs) are becoming very popular as affordable and reliable observation platforms. The Lower Atmospheric Process Studies at Elevation – a Remotely-piloted Aircraft Team Experiment (LAPSE-RATE), conducted in the San Luis Valley (SLV) of Colorado (USA) between 14 20 July 2018, gathered together numerous sUASs, remote-sensing equipment, ground-based instrum...

Introduction: During the summer of 1976 Viking Lander 1 and 2 touched down at Chryse Planitia and Utopia Planitia, Mars respectively. The primary aim of both Viking Landers was to look for the presence of organic life on the surface of Mars, however each Lander also had a comprehensive meteorological package to monitor the martian atmospheric conditions [1]. The meteorological package consisted...

Historical accounts of the phenomenon of cliticization have previously documented only the loss of second-position clitics. This paper argues that the history of Bulgarian offers evidence for the rise of a second-position clitic system. It is demonstrated that the second-position clitics of Old Bulgarian were not directly inherited from IndoEuropean, but emerged from a system of post-verbal cli...

The continuous soil gas radon and daily monitoring of radon concentration in water is carried out at Amritsar (Punjab, India), a well known seismic zone to study the correlation of radon anomalies in relation to seismic activities in the study area. In this study, radon monitoring in soil was carried out by using barasol probe (BMC2) manufactured by Algade France whereas the radon content in wa...

The need for reliable predictions in environmental modelling is well-known. Particularly, the predicted weather and meteorological information about the future atmospheric state is crucial and necessary for almost all other areas of environmental modelling. Additionally, right decisions to prevent damages and save lives could be taken depending on a reliable meteorological prediction process. L...

BACKGROUND Anecdotal reports assert a relationship between weather and lunar activity and the odontogenic abscess (OA) incidence, but this relationship has not been validated. Therefore, the present study investigated the relationship between oral pain caused by OA and a variety of meteorological parameters and cyclic lunar activity. METHODS The records of all dental emergency patients treate...

A clear rise in seasonal and annual temperatures, a gradual increase of total radiation, and a relative trend of change in seasonal precipitation have been observed for the last four decades in Brussels (Belgium). These local modifications may have a direct and indirect public health impact by altering the timing and intensity of allergenic pollen seasons. In this study, we assessed the statist...
