LONG-TERM TREND OF SOLAR CORONAL HOLE DISTRIBUTION FROM 1975 TO 2014

Current Status of Long-term Care in Taiwan: Transition of Long-term Care Plan From 1.0 to 2.0

Temporal and long-term trend analysis of class C notifiable diseases in China from 2009 to 2014

OBJECTIVES Time series models are effective tools for disease forecasting. This study aims to explore the time series behaviour of 11 notifiable diseases in China and to predict their incidence through effective models. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS The Chinese Ministry of Health started to publish class C notifiable diseases in 2009. The monthly reported case time series of 11 infectious disease...

The Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”

The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...

Letter to the Editor Measurement of the electron temperature gradient in a solar coronal hole

It has long been established that the high speed solar wind streams observed at 1 A.U. originate from the coronal hole regions of the Sun. Theoretical modelling of the acceleration mechanism depends critically on the value of the maximum of temperature existing close to the Sun. Measurements of the temperature in coronal holes prior to SOHO are unreliable. The very low luminosity leads to extre...

Investigation of Long Term Trend of Spatio-Temporal changes of Sea Surface Temperature in Oman Sea

Considering the vast application of sea surface temperature in climatic and oceanic investigations, this parameter was studied in Oman Sea from 1986 to 2015. The SST was surveyed using trend analysis and Global and local Moran’s I spatial autocorrelation. In trend analysis, the Mann-Kendall test was used to determine the trend of SST changes and the Sen's Estimator method was used to examine th...
