Craniofacial Secular Change in Recent Mexican Migrants.

Research by economists suggests that recent Mexican migrants are better educated and have higher socioeconomic status (SES) than previous migrants. Because factors associated with higher SES and improved education can lead to positive secular changes in overall body form, secular changes in the craniofacial complex were analyzed within a recent migrant group from Mexico. The Mexican group repre...

Suicide mortality in Japan: analysis of the unusual secular trends.

To investigate unusual secular trends in suicide rate in Japan since the Second World War, the cause-specific mortality by sex and age during the period 1950-82 was analyzed. The results indicated that: suicide death rates due to two causes, i.e., poisoning by solid and liquid substances and run over by train and other means, for young persons increased remarkably in the mid 1950s; and the rate...

Climate change Effects of Surface soil temperature profile in Ahwaz

In arid and semi-arid regions, soil surface warming is a considerable phenomenon causing a high thermal gradient which makes water flow intensely. The degree of soil temperature is effective on crop production, plant growth and soil microorganisms. In recent years, the ascending trend of temperature has been substantially noticed by researchers in the issues of pointwise climate change and at w...

Winter Air Temperature Change over the Terrestrial Arctic , 1961 – 1990

We evaluate two approaches to spatially interpolating winter surface air-temperature fields over the terrestrial Arctic from available weather-station records. We then examine 30 yr (1961–1990) of winter air-temperature change over the terrestrial Arctic through a timetrend analysis of interpolated winter air-temperature fields. We used monthly average air temperatures from 4984 Arctic station ...
