variability only to a long term increasingly upward trend. To isolate and properly investigates the seasonal component and possible relationships with the sources of variation in skin cancer incidence it is necessary to separate uncorrelated obscuring time scales such as random noise and the long term trend [7]. Separation is achieved using a combination of low pass Kolmogorov-Zurbenko Filters ...

weather condition is one of the much effective factors in the principle of architecture and urbanization. so in this research long-term trend of effective climate elements in architecture of darab city including mean of minimum temperature, temperature mean, mean of maximum temperature, minimum relative humidity, maximum relative humidity, relative humidity mean, wind speed and sun hours in mon...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of benzalkonium (BAK)-free travoprost monotherapy administered for 3 years on intraocular pressure and visual field performance. METHODS The intraocular pressure of 76 patients with normal tension glaucoma was monitored every 1-3 months. A Humphrey visual field test was performed every 6 months after treatment and compared with ...

To better understand the change in global hurricane intensity since 1970, we examined the joint distribution of hurricane intensity with variables identified in the literature as contributing to the intensification of hurricanes. We used a methodology based on information theory, isolating the trend from the shorter-term natural modes of variability. The results show that the trend of increasin...

the benefits of textual input enhancement in the acquisition of linguistic forms have produced mixed results in sla literature. the present study investigates the effects of textual enhancement on adult foreign language intake of two english linguistic forms-subjunctive mood and inversion structures-to explore the role of the type of linguistic items in input enhancement studies. it also invest...

Understanding the long-term performance of global satellite leaf area index (LAI) products is important for global change research. However, few effort has been devoted to evaluating the long-term time-series consistencies of LAI products. This study compared four long-term LAI products (GLASS, GLOBMAP, LAI3g, and TCDR) in terms of trends, interannual variabilities, and uncertainty variations f...

The northern latitudes have warmed by about 0.8 C since the early 1970s, but not all areas have warmed equally. Eurasia shows an overall warming trend, while North America exhibits warming at a lower rate and even a slight cooling trend during the last 50 years in the Eastern USA. We analyzed a recently developed satellite normalized di erence vegetation index (NDVI) data set (July 1981 to Dece...

during the last few decades cereals yield have increased drastically at the national level however, information about yield stability and its resistance to annual environmental variability are scare. in this study long term stability of grin yield of wheat, barley, rice, corn and overall cereals in iran were evaluated during a 40-year period (1971-2011). stability analysis was conducted using t...
