To establish longevity of faecal DNA samples under varying summer field conditions, we collected 53 faeces from captive brown bears (Ursus arctos) on a restricted vegetation diet. Each faeces was divided, and one half was placed on a warm, dry field site while the other half was placed on a cool, wet field site on Moscow Mountain, Idaho, USA. Temperature, relative humidity, and dew point data w...

the main objective of this paper is to study climate changes and fluctuations in the four synoptic stations in sistan and baluchistan province in the past few years and to analyze statistically and simulate and forecast for the next years (2040-2009). this study used data from the outputs of general circulation climate model echo-g with a1 scenario that are now used at the university of hamburg...

OBJECTIVES To examine the incidence, clinical state, personal risk factors, haematology, and biochemistry of heat exhaustion occurring at a deep underground metalliferous mine. To describe the underground thermal conditions associated with the occurrence of heat exhaustion. METHODS A 1 year prospective case series of acute heat exhaustion was undertaken. A history was obtained with a structur...

ABSTRACT: This study assessed the ways thermal environment is influenced by pre-cooling water employed in wetting porous plates present evaporative cooling systems (ECS). The experiment was performed using two physical models constructed on a distorted and reduced scale, which simulated closed agricultural facilities equipped with ECS made up of cellulose panels. In one model, were wet chilled ...

Accurate estimation of dew point temperature (Tdew) plays a very important role in the fields water resource management, agricultural engineering, climatology and energy utilization. However, there are few studies on applicability local Tdew algorithms at regional scales. This study evaluated performance new machine learning algorithm, i.e., gradient boosting decision tree...

The loess hilly-gully region is a focus region of the "Grain for Green" program in China. Drought is the main problem in the study region. Precipitation and temperature are two indicators that directly characterize climatic drought. A thorough analysis of the precipitation, temperature and drought characteristics of the loess hilly-gully region can clarify the current water and heat conditions ...
