Background: In the context of climate change, an efficient alert system to prevent the risk associated with summer heat is necessary. The authors' objective was to describe the temperature-mortality relationship in France over a 29-year period and to define and validate a combination of temperature factors enabling optimum prediction of the daily fluctuations in summer mortality. Methods: The s...

weather condition is one of the much effective factors in the principle of architecture and urbanization. so in this research long-term trend of effective climate elements in architecture of darab city including mean of minimum temperature, temperature mean, mean of maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, maximum relative humidity, relative humidity mean, wind speed and sun hours in mon...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is conflicting evidence for whether or not the incidence of stroke is influenced by the daily temperature. The association between daily temperature and incidence of stroke is largely unknown in Korea. This study attempted to evaluate whether the maximum or minimum daily temperature is associated with increased numbers of strokes and stroke subtypes among Seoul resi...

yield prediction before harvesting is one of the tools in order to planning food production supply in future.yield prediction was carried out for wheat(triticum aestivum) using different meteorological variables with agrometeorological indices in hamedan district during 2003-04 and 2004-05. according to correlation coefficients, standard error of estimate as well as relative deviation of predic...

Net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were measured in ten red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) saplings, growing near Ithaca, New York, throughout the early spring and late-fall growing periods. Gas exchange and daily minimum and maximum soil and air temperatures were also measured. Linear regression analysis showed that rates of net photosynthesis were positively correlated with both minimum...

introduction: air temperature as an important climatic factor can influence variability and distribution of other climatic parameters. therefore, tracking the changes in air temperature is a popular procedure in climate change studies.. according to the national academy in the last decade, global temperature has raised 0.4 to 0.8⁰c. instrumental records show that, with the exception of 1998, th...

1. introduction as strongly accepted among climatologists, climate change is a result of human activities. there is disagreement about how to define climate change, because of tremendous difference of climate changes in scale, intensity and occurrence time in various regions. recently there have been several observation analyses involving daily and extreme daily temperature trend and variabilit...

precipitation is one of important parameters of climatology and atmospheric science that have more importance in human life. recently, extensive flood and drought entered many damage to most parts of the world. precipitation forecasting and alerts management role is responsible for these problems. today, artificial neural networks are one of developed method that applied for estimate and predic...

Assessments of climate change and food security often do not consider changes to crop production as a function of altered pest pressures. Evaluation of potential changes may be difficult, in part, because management practices are routinely utilized in situ to minimize pest injury. If so, then such practices, should, in theory, also change with climate, although this has never been quantified. C...
