Understanding of the urban climate of a city is important for future planning and human wellbeing. The well known Physiologically Equivalent Temperature (PET) and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) indices were calculated with RayMan model using meteorological data (2001-2011) in order to study the human thermal bioclimate of Dar es Salaam. Results indicate that afternoons from late Sep...

Bioclimate conditions at Sun Moon Lake, one of Taiwan's most popular tourist destinations, are presented. Existing tourism-related climate is typically based on mean monthly conditions of air temperature and precipitation and excludes the thermal perception of tourists. This study presents a relatively more detailed analysis of tourism climate by using a modified thermal comfort range for both ...

Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) is a highly contagious pathogen for broilers. Its epidemiological aspects remain poorly understood in Morocco. Given that, we carried out pilot seroepidemiological survey from December 2020 to June 2021 define aMPV seroprevalence Moroccan broiler flocks different bioclimatic zones (humid sub-humid, semi-arid, arid) during winter and spring. According these zones, 48...

We describe the e-Science strategy in Venezuela, in particular initiatives by the Centro Nacional de Cálculo Científico Universidad de Los Andes (CECALCULA), Mérida, the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA), Mérida, and the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas (IVIC), Caracas. We present the plans for the Venezuelan Academic Grid and the current status of Grid ULA supported by Internet...

BACKGROUND The close relationship between human health, performance, well-being and the thermal environment is obvious. Nevertheless, most studies of climate and climate change impacts show amazing shortcomings in the assessment of the environment. Populations living in different climates have different susceptibilities, due to socio-economic reasons, and different customary behavioural adaptat...

The paper studies the peculiarities of bioclimate city Ulyanovsk in 2000–2020 using most popular biometeorological indices. In past, similar for were conducted only until 2004 and based on average monthly data. Our research aims to show trend change environmental comfort early 21st century, context continuing global warming, within a small area, over different time intervals – from decade year....
