BACKGROUND In recent years large-scale computational models for the realistic simulation of epidemic outbreaks have been used with increased frequency. Methodologies adapt to the scale of interest and range from very detailed agent-based models to spatially-structured metapopulation models. One major issue thus concerns to what extent the geotemporal spreading pattern found by different modelin...

Evolutionary Algorithms form a procedure upon the pattern of the principals of biological evolution for improving solutions iteratively by means of heredity, selection and survival of the fittest. Their main area of application are complex optimization problems, for which no mathematical solutions or suitable heuristics exist or are too costly to develop. Examples for these tasks are design opt...

El objetivo del estudio fue la caracterización productiva y de emisiones modeladas gases efecto invernadero (GEI) en 61 sistemas lecheros localizados cinco regiones Honduras. Durante las fases inicial (FI) final (FF), con encuestas aplicadas individualmente a los productores, se identificaron aspectos técnicos productividad. Variables numéricas expresadas Microsoft Excel® permitieron, el modelo...

We propose that a preference for favorable social feedback (i.e., self-enhancement) requires only that feedback be characterized as favorable or unfavorable but that a preference for self-confirming feedback (i.e., self-verification) is based on a more elaborate set of cognitive operations that requires both the characterization of feedback and a subsequent comparison of that feedback to a repr...

Abstract We observed the periodic radio transient GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3 (GLEAM-X J1627) using Chandra X-ray Observatory for about 30 ks on 2022 January 22–23, simultaneously with observations from Murchison Widefield Array, MeerKAT, and Australia Telescope Compact Array. Its emission 18 min periodicity led source to be tentatively interpreted as an extreme magnetar or a peculiar highly mag...

• Spatial and temporal ET dynamics are evaluated using GLEAM, PML MTE products The environmental drivers of variability in the semi-arid Sahel identified Global consistent with measured water-limited zones Results show significant rising trend high Western Wavelet coherence results confirm strong coupling between rainfall This paper evaluates atmospheric controls contributing to actual evapotra...

Due to limited observational data, there remains considerable uncertainty in the estimation and spatiotemporal variations of land surface evapotranspiration (ET). Reanalysis products, with their advantages high resolution, global coverage, long-term data availability, have emerged as powerful tools for studying ET. Nevertheless, accuracy reanalysis ET products varies among different reasons the...
