Various ammonium sulfate concentrations and reaction conditions were employed in the fractionation of sera from rabbits, sheep, horses, and goats. Precipitates and supernatant fluids were analyzed by electrophoresis to study the effects of the controlled variables. At room temperature, the third precipitate in 35% saturated (NH(4))(2)SO(4) was the best fraction from both rabbit and sheep sera; ...

The performance of single models and ensemble prediction systems has been investigated with respect to quantitative precipitation forecasts. Evaluation is based on the potential economic value of +72 h/+96 h forecasts. The verification procedure consists of taking into account all precipitation amounts that are predicted in the vicinity of an observation in order to compute spatial, multi-event...

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us how fragile cities are when dealing with this phenomenon. lack of green areas, high pollution levels, and human overpopulation contributed to the increase urban heat island effect proved be perfect ingredients for spread virus that changed, perhaps forever, our ways living inhabiting. consequences were even more dramatic inhabitants informal neighbourhoods, as th...

Climate change and obesity are two major concerns for policy makers globally, but can climate be a driver of obesity? This is what our analysis tries to establish. To this purpose, we exploit inter-annual variations the Body Mass Index (BMI) children adults in 134 countries over 39 years, study extent changes air temperature precipitations affect obesity. Using panel data econometrics exploitin...
