Sap flow and environmental conditions were monitored at two Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla S.T.Blake) plantations at Hetou and Jijia, located in Leizhou, Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province. It was found that daily sap flux density (SFD) of Eucalyptus was closely related to daily atmospheric vapor pressure deficit (VPD) (R2 = 0.76, P = 0.01 at Hetou and R2 = 0.7021, P = 0.01 at Jijia) at both sites...

A retrospective study of patients attending the emergency department with acute asthma was performed in Bermuda. Climatic data (barometric pressure, rainfall, humidity, and wind strength and direction) were obtained and compared with frequency of exacerbations of asthma. Three factors--namely, relative humidity, average daily temperature, and northeasterly winds--were found to be related to wor...

Many studies have reported associations between air pollution and daily asthma occurrence. Those studies have not consistently specified the lag between exposure and response, especially multiple lags, although most have found associations that persisted for more than 1 day. A systematic approach to specifying the lag association would allow better comparison and give insight into the nature of...

form of malarial fever during the year 1882. The charts shew the daily temperature (three observations), relative humidity of the atmosphere, and the admissions for ague during both months at the Station Hospital Ambala. The humidity has been calculated from records of dry and wet bulb thermometers by means of the table, given in Parkes' Hygiene, third edition, page 440. I. Temperature.?The fir...

accurate estimation of reference evapotranspiration plays a key role in water resources management and irrigation scheduling. the fao penman-monteith (f-p-m) is a reference method for calculation of evapotranspiration that needs temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. in many stations, it is not an easy task to measure the whole weather variables. thus, in this situation, one mus...
