Contributors: DEW designed the audit, collected and analysed the data, and participated in writing the paper with EHB. EHB provided DEW with the list of subjects to be investigated, discussed core ideas, and participated in writing the paper; she maintains the database of mothers who are hepatitis B positive and advises on appropriate immunisations. EHB will act as guarantor for the paper. Comp...

Dew computing differs from the classical cloud and edge by bringing devices closer to end-users adding autonomous processing independent Internet, but it is still able collaborate with other exchange information on Internet. The difference expressed also scalability, since providers can provide (almost endless) resources, in case of dew scalability needs be realized level devices, instead serve...

A description and analysis is given of a wetness duration experiment, carried out in a potato field in the centre of the Netherlands in September 2005. The observations are used to design and evaluate a within-canopy dew model which provides the leaf wetness distribution within the canopy caused by dew processes and by precipitation. This withincanopy dew model consists of three layers (bottom,...

Many factors impact a city’s water consumption, including population distribution, average household income, water prices, water conservation programs, and climate. Of these, however, meteorological effects are considered to be the primary determinants of water consumption. In this study, the effects of climate on residential water consumption in Las Vegas, Nevada, were examined during the peri...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Repair of damage to DNA of seed embryos sustained during long periods of quiescence under dry desert conditions is important for subsequent germination. The possibility that repair of embryo DNA can be facilitated by small amounts of water derived from dew temporarily captured at night by pectinaceous surface pellicles was tested. These pellicles are secreted during early se...

Abstract Forecasting electrical energy demand and consumption is one of the important decision-making tools in distributing companies for making contracts scheduling and purchasing electrical energy. This paper studies load consumption modeling in Hamedan city province distribution network by applying ESN neural network. Weather forecasting data such as minimum day temperature, average day temp...
