different ecologic factors influence on forming, development and sustaining of the plant communities, among which physiographic variables are the most important ones. the aim of this study was to identify forest types and effect of physiographical factors such as sea level height, slope and aspect of the site on quantitative characteristics of forest types in 2nd district of vaz forest with are...

This study, realized from October 2000 to January 2003 describes the clinical epidemiological characteristics of visceral leishmaniasis in Três Lagoas, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. A total of 149 cases were confirmed, with a predominance of the male gender (71.1%). The principal age group was aged 0 to 4 years old (42%). The clinical picture included fever (97.3%), esplenomegaly (85.9%) an...

Variability in satellite measurements of terrestrial greenness in drylands is widely observed in land surface processes and global change studies. Yet the underlying causes differ and are not fully understood. Here, we used the GeogDetector model, a new spatial statistical approach, to examine the individual and combined influences of physiographic factors on dryland vegetation greenness change...

Linear regression is widely used in flood quantile study that consists of meteorological and physiographical variables. However, linear does not capture the complex nonlinear relationship between predictor target It rare to find a hydrological application using group method data handling (GMDH) model, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, ensemble technique, precisely predicting ungauged sites...

Regional Frequency Analysis (RFA) relies on a wide range of physiographical and meteorological variables to estimate hydrological quantiles at ungauged sites. However, additional catchment characteristics related its drainage network are not yet fully understood integrated in RFA procedures. The aim the present paper is propose integration several characterizing systems RFA, evaluate their adde...
