The 30–60-day Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) has been documented in previous research to impact tropical cyclone (TC) activity for various tropical cyclone basins around the globe. TheMJOmodulates largescale convective activity throughout the tropics, and concomitantly modulates other fields known to impact tropical cyclone activity such as vertical wind shear, midlevelmoisture, vertical motio...

This article focuses on the connection between health, food, and social wellbeing. Several health problems are caused by types of food consumed. At same time, traditional ingredients increasingly less used. The potential healthy, foods, locally grown ingredients, preparation in local quality restaurants could decrease problems, especially disadvantaged communities. methodology developing missin...

background: research project risks are uncertain contingent events or situations that, if transpire, will have positive or negative effects on objectives of a project. the management of health and safety at work (mhsw) regulations 1999 require all employers and the self-employed persons to assess the risks from their work on anyone who may be affected by their activities. risk assessment is the...

Yinggehai Basin is an elongate Cenozoic rift basin on the northwestern margin of the South China Sea continental shelf. Its thick ( 17 km) basin fill is characterized by high geothermal gradient and high overpressure. Overpressure associated with nonequilibrium compaction mainly occurs at depths more than 2800 m at the basin center and more than 4000 m at the basin margin because the shallow-bu...

Dal Lake a Sub-Himalyan urban Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes of India and second largest in Jammu & Kashmir. Intensive farming practiced in the surrounding area of Dal Lake and its floating gardens leads to an enhanced vulnerability of crops to pests and indiscriminate use of pesticides. Possible transfer of these hazardous molecules from vegetable fields to the aquatic environment of ...

In this paper, a soil moisture estimation model was developed to calculate the nationwide soil moisture fields using on site soil moisture observation, precipitation, surface temperature, MODIS NDVI and a data mining technique, Classification And Regression Tree (CART) algorithm and neural networks. The model was applied to the Yong-dam dam basin since the soil moisture observations of the Yong...

Identifying the energy minima of molecular clusters is a challenging problem. Traditionally, search algorithms such as simulated annealing, genetic algorithms, or basin hopping are usually used in conjunction with empirical force fields. We have implemented a basin hopping search algorithm combined with density functional theory to enable the optimization of molecular clusters without the need ...

Hele rodera goeuingiana damages leguminous crops in Europe and the Mediterranean Basin. Il is managed by nematicides and crop rotation. The tolerance level for most hosts is less than one egg/g soil, but is higher for vetch (2 eggs/g soil). Conventional economic thresholds varied with crop value and nematicide cost. For DD nematicide at current priees, threshold levels were 8 and 2.5 eggs/g soi...

in this study, a new array of meteorological elements and a synoptic climatologic classification to produce abaseline climate and to derive meteorological factors that are effective on air pollution in tehran, which is located in a semi-enclosed basin was developed. the data set includes daily sea-level pressure and 500mb geopotential height fields from ncep-ncar and tehran upper air sounding d...
