Background: It has been hypothesized that COVID-19 is less prevalent in regions with warm climates. Contradictory results led us to investigate the correlation between temperature and the cumulative COVID-19 incidence rate. Method: We obtained COVID data from CRONALAB, COVID-DASHBOARD, and MCMC databases of Fars province, linked data, and finalized daily COVID-19 cases. Daily data on the temp...

We have used thermistor/data logger assemblies to measure temperatures in the brain, carotid artery, jugular vein and abdominal cavity, and subcutaneously, in five pronghorn antelope over a summer in Wyoming. Globe and air temperature varied by up to approximately 50 degrees C daily during the summer and maximum solar radiation was approximately 900 W m(-2). Brain temperature (38.9+/-0.3 degree...

this study highlights the costs and benefits of indigenous beef cattle fattening schemes in shinyanga urban and kishapu districts in tanzania. specifically, in this study the net profit (np) for fatteners between beef cattle fattening schemes has been determined. the schemes were divided into two main categories, scheme 1 in which the animals were fed on cottonseed hulls (cshl) based diets and ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to predict the emergency admission of elderly stroke patients in Shanghai by using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients (>60 years) with first-ever stroke registered in the Emergency Center of Neurology Department, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital, from January 2012 to June 2014 were enrolled into the present study. D...

Both temperature and humidity may independently or jointly contribute to the risk of human rhinovirus (HRV) infections, either through altered survival and spread of viruses in the environment or due to changes in host susceptibility. This study examined the relationship between short-term variations in temperature and humidity and the risk of HRV infections in a subarctic climate. We conducted...

Statistical methodology is devised to model time series of daily weather at individual locations in the southeastern U.S. conditional on patterns in large-scale atmosphere–ocean circulation. In this way, weather information on an appropriate temporal and spatial scale for input to crop–climate models can be generated, consistent with the relationship between circulation and temporally and/or sp...
