Meticulous planning is required to minimize heat-stress conditions in barns. The objective of this study was to determine optimum barn characteristics for high-yielding dairy cows under Israeli (Mediterranean) summer ambient conditions, by using a new stress model that takes ambient temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity into account. During the summers of 2004 and 2005, three meteoro...

The Everglades in south Florida is a marsh system where most of the time wet vegetated marshes and open water features prevail. Rainfall and evapotranspiration (ET) are the main parameters in the hydrology of the Everglades. The delicate balance between rainfall and evapotranspiration maintains the hydrology system in either a wet condition or dry condition. Based on a literature review of both...

Tropical cyclones (TCs) before landfall deserve great concerns, which directly affect the following forecasts and alarm-issuing. In 1949–2021, nearly 29% of total number TCs that originated over western North Pacific (WNP) South China Sea (SCS) made in China. Of them, those from WNP display a significantly lower (higher) ratio making (south China) (the second year after) El Niño years. At 48 h ...

BACKGROUND Until now, little was known about the variation in incidence of twin births across developing countries, because national representative data was lacking. This study provides the first comprehensive overview of national twinning rates across the developing world on the basis of reliable survey data. METHODS Data on incidence of twinning was extracted from birth histories of women a...
