Grasslands are crucial ecosystem biomes for breeding livestock and combatting climate change. By 2018, the national nature reserves (NNRs) in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (IMAR) had constituted 8.55% of land area. However, there is still a knowledge gap about their effectiveness grasslands. Based on multiyear time series growing season composite from 2000 to 2020, we proposed an score asses...

Understanding rainfall and temperature’s spatio-temporal variations at the local, regional, global scale is vital for planning soil water conservation structures making irrigation decisions. The present investigation attempts to observe temperature variability trend over 31 years (1990-2020) in National Capital Region (NCR), Delhi, India, obtained from IARI meteorological station, Pusa, New Del...

Depicting the spatiotemporal dynamics of vegetation cover in Yellow River Basin (YRB) and delineating influences climate change human activities on have been significant importance for understanding surface earth systems general also formulating ecological protection plans YRB particular. This study uses GIMMS NDVI dataset from 1982 to 2015 MOD13A1 2000 2021 explore spatial temporal characteris...

While there is substantial need for dependence models in higher dimensions, most existing models quickly become rather restrictive and barely balance parsimony and flexibility. Hierarchical constructions may improve on that by grouping variables in different levels. In this paper, the new class of hierarchical Kendall copulas is proposed and discussed. Hierarchical Kendall copulas are built up ...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the effects of horse-riding simulator exercise and Kendall exercise on forward head posture. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty elderly college students with a forward head posture were randomly divided into two groups for 15 persons each, a horse-riding simulator group and Kendall exercise group, and performed exercise for eight weeks. [Results] The ho...

Year-to-year economy-wide measures of income distribution, such as the Gini coefficient, are rarely available for long periods except in a few developed countries, and as a result few analyses of year-to-year changes in inequality exist. But wage and earnings data by industrial sectors are readily available for many countries over long time frames. This paper proposes the application of the bet...
