Sunshine virus is a recently discovered novel paramyxovirus that is associated with illness in snakes. It does not phylogenetically cluster within either of the two currently accepted paramyxoviral subfamilies. It is therefore only distantly related to the only other known genus of reptilian paramyxoviruses, Ferlavirus, which clusters within the Paramyxovirinae subfamily. Clinical and diagnosti...

Sustainable electricity systems need renewable and dispatchable energy sources. Solar is an abundant source of globally which is, though, by nature only available during the day, especially in clear weather conditions. We compare three technology configurations able to provide solar power at times without sunshine: Photovoltaics (PV) combined with battery (BESS) or thermal storage (TES) concent...

Evaporation is a fundamental parameter in the hydrological cycle. This study examines the performance of M5model tree and artificial neural network (ANN) models in estimating potential evapotranspiration calculated byPenman- Monteith and Hargreaves- Samani equations. Daily weather data from two meteorological stations in asemi-arid climate of Iran, namely Kerman and Zahedan, were collected duri...

Measured air temperature, relative humidity, wind and sunshine duration measurements between 1995 and 2007 for Al Ain city in United Arab Emirates (UAE) were used for the estimation of monthly average daily global radiation on horizontal using Artificial Neural Network technique. Weather data between 1995 and 2006 were used for training the neural network, while the data of year 2007 was used f...

Several reports indicate that suicide follows a seasonal pattern with a dominant peak during the month of maximum daylight. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that sunshine exposure may trigger suicidal behavior. We found a remarkably consistent pattern of seasonality with peak incidence around June in the northern hemisphere and December in the southern hemisphere. Moreov...
