Climate variabilities over the period of 80 years (1930–2010) are analyzed by combined use divergence measures and rank correlation. First, on basis a statistical linguistics procedure, m-th order differences monthly mean precipitations temperatures globe symbolized according to binary coding rule. Subsequently, annual 12-bit sequence for station is divided into twelve 6-bit sequences scanning ...

Like all other animal species, terrestrial pulmonate snails require Cu as an essential trace element. On the other hand, elevated amounts of Cu can exert toxic effects on snails. The homeostatic regulation of Cu must therefore be a pivotal goal of terrestrial pulmonates to survive. Upon administration of Cu, snails accumulate the metal nearly equally in most of their organs. Quantitative studie...

The North East (NE) region of India is prone to severe thunderstorm during pre monsoon period. These premonsoon precipitations are measured at Guwahati (26 17’ N, 91 77’ E) using a laser based particle size and velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer from 15 April to 31 May 2010 under a national field campaign named Severe Thunderstorm Observational and Regional Modeling (STORM). For the improved under...

because of low spatial resolution and simplifications in meteorological processes in global circulation models, they cannot sufficiently simulate the weather, comparing to the regional models; then, spatial and temporal downscaling of the gcm outputs are needed for decreasing errors of the global circulation models. there are two methods of downscaling: statistical and dynamic. weather generato...

The paper presents results concerning the changes in the content of aldehydes in samples of lake water collected near the lake surface. The study of lake waters was undertaken to explain which physicochemical parameters of the environment have the greatest influence on the level of aldehydes, which of the aldehydes are most often met in surface water and in what concentrations. We observed that...

We separated dust particles from the mesh-filtered sets of rainwaters collected on rainy days with daily precipitations exceeding 10 mm per day. A total of 136 rainwaters (or snow during the winter season) samples collected from February 2009 to February 2013 were analyzed. In particular, 33 out of 136 rainwaters were collected during or just after the Asian dust storm (ADS) events. Values of p...

OBJECTIVE To determine the distribution of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) in Nuevo Leon between 2001 and 2004. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standardized methods were used to collect 6371 samples of mosquito's larvae from 167 sites. The proportions of samples positive for Ae. albopictus were obtained by municipality and year, using the software program Excel. RESULTS There were 1179 samples positive for A...
