Short-term global ensemble predictions of rainfall currently have no skill over northern tropical Africa when compared to simple climatology-based forecasts, even after sophisticated statistical postprocessing. Here, we demonstrate that 1-day forecasts for the probability precipitation occurrence based on a logistic regression model considerable potential improvement. The new approach present h...

introduction: according to the traditional use of falcaria vulgaris for gastric ulcer in the northwest of iran, our pervious work showed protective effect of this vegetable on ethanol-induced gastric lesion. this study was designed to find out wound healing effect of hydroalcolic extract from falcaria vulgaris leaves on aspirin induced gastric ulcer in rats.  materials & methods: 21 young male ...

This study analyses the relationship between meteorological phenomena and outbreaks of waterborne-transmitted vero cytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) in the Republic of Ireland over an 8-year period (2005-2012). Data pertaining to the notification of waterborne VTEC outbreaks were extracted from the Computerised Infectious Disease Reporting system, which is administered through the nat...

A case-crossover study compared rainfall in the 4 weeks before drinking water related outbreaks with that in the five previous control years. This included public and private drinking water related outbreaks in England and Wales from 1910 to 1999. Of 111 outbreaks, 89 met inclusion criteria and the implicated pathogens included Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, S. Typhi, S. Paratyphi, Campylob...

introductionmany aspect strongly influence regional climate includes localized surface processes, large-scale patterns, especially mid and upper level tropospheric circulation and many factors control precipitation in the west of iran includes location of emigrate westerly winds systems, jet streams location, humidity flux and topography. upper tropospheric jet stream constitutes a significant ...
