Evaluation of SRE Scenarios for Penang, Selangor and Johor in Peninsular Malaysia using PRECIS Regional Climate Model (RCM)

Simulation of climate change in Iran during 2071-2100 using PRECIS regional climate modelling system

Parameters such as future precipitation, temperature, snowfall, and runoff were modeled using PRECIS regionalclimate modeling system in Iran with the horizontal resolutions of 0.44×0.44°C in latitude and longitude under SRESA2 and B2 scenarios. The dataset was based on HadAM3p during the periods of 1961-1990 and 2071-2100. Theoverall precipitation error of the model in the period of 1961-1990 w...

A preliminary survey of Aedes aegypti in Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia.

The presence of Aedes aegypti in Malaya has been noted very early by Leicester (1908) and Stanton (l914).One of the earliest survey carried out on the species was by Reid (1954).Macdonald(1965a) submitted a paper dealing extensively with the distribution and dispersal of the species in Malaya. At that time, the interest in Ae. aegypti centered on it being a potential vector of yellow fever in M...

Analysis of Climate Change Scenarios for the Carpathian Basin Based on Numerical Simulations of the Regional Climate Model Precis

Enzyme biotypes of Helicobacter pylori isolated from Penang, Peninsular Malaysia.

A total of 52 clinical strains of Helicobacter pylori were characterized on the basis of preformed enzyme production with API ZYM kits. Using the biotyping schemes as defined by Reina and Alomar (1989), Kung et al (1989) and Matsumoto et al (1996), 15.3% (8/52), 13.5% (7/52) and 11.5% (6/52) of the isolates were not biotypable, respectively. Two enzymes, valine arylamidase and cystine arylamida...

Regional climate change scenarios and their impacts on water requirements for wheat production in Iran

We simulate the effect of climate change on water requirements of cold seasonwheat in various climatic zones of Iran. The research considers both observedclimate (temperature and precipitation) changes during recent decades (1960-2009)based on instrumental records and projected future changes to 2100 based on theMAGICC/SCENGEN 5.3 compound model. 20 General Circulation models are usedbased on a...
