The impacts of climate change are projected to become more intense and frequent. One the indirect is food insecurity. Agriculture in Pakistan, measured fourth best world, already experiencing visible adverse change. Among many other sources, potato crop remains one security crops for developing nations. Potatoes widely cultivated Pakistan. To assess impact on it imperative analyze it...

Extreme wave value analysis under uncertainty scenarios was developed to estimate climate characteristics at 17 stations in southwestern European coast off the Iberian Peninsula. A comprehensive dataset downscaled with Wave Watch III (WWIII) model by Meteogalicia MarRisk Project used considering results of models from Coupled Model Intercomparison 5 (CMIP5). Descriptive statistics for significa...

BACKGROUND Climate change is expected to cause increases in heat-related mortality, especially among the elderly and very young. However, additional studies are needed to clarify the effects of heat on morbidity across all age groups and across a wider range of temperatures. OBJECTIVES We aimed to estimate the impact of current and projected future temperatures on morbidity and mortality in R...

The robot technology (RT), along with the rapid growth of information technology (IT) is being developed as the next generation of a future technology. Current robots require advanced technology, such as soft computing, human-friendly interface, interaction technique, speech recognition, object recognition, etc., unlike the industrial robots of the past. Recently, cellular phone (CP) has been o...

Global mean temperature over 1998 to 2015 increased at a slower rate (0.1 K decade-1) compared with the ensemble mean (forced) warming rate projected by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) models (0.2 K decade-1). Here we investigate the prospects for this slower rate to persist for a decade or more. The slower rate could persist if the transient climate response is overestimated by...

the present study modeled how future terrestrial net primary productivity (npp) changes spatiotemporally for the eastern mediterranean biomes of turkey using carnegie ames stanford approach (casa) model, moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis) data, the four regional climate change scenarios (rcp 2.6, rcp 4.5, rcp 6.0 and rcp 8.5), and such ancillary data as percent tree cover, la...

We investigated the effect of different methods of management of the inferior vena cava (IVC) during retrograde cerebral perfusion (RCP) on the relationships between RCP pressure, regional cerebral blood flow, tissue oxygenation, and intracranial pressure (ICP). Fourteen pigs were subjected to hypothermic (15 degrees C) RCP at RCP pressures varying from 10 to 110 mmHg with clamping (closed grou...

20 Twenty-first century projections of Atlantic climate change are downscaled to explore the 21 robustness of potential changes in hurricane activity. Multi-model ensembles using the 22 CMIP3/A1B (Late 21 st century) and CMIP5/RCP4.5 (Early and Late 21 st century) scenarios are 23 examined. Ten individual CMIP3 models are downscaled to assess the spread of results among 24 the CMIP3 (but not th...
