An innovative method for measuring the hysteresis effects of soil moisture on meteorological variables at various time scales and climate conditions by Qing Tian, Jianzhong Lu, Xiaoling Chen

“…On an annual scale, precipitation (temperature, evapotranspiration) lagged by roughly 0 to 2 months in the upper and middle regions and by －2 to －6 months in the lower region of the YRB. The contribution rates of meteorological elements on soil moisture were enhanced by taking lag time into account. …”

A Comprehensive Study of Deep Learning Approaches for Predicting Reciprocal Traffic Dynamics and Climate Variability by Abrar Ali, Wadhah R. Baiee

“…In addition, the significant impact of extreme weather events on traffic flow was found; for instance, heavy precipitation events can lead to a 30% decrease in speed and increased accident rates up to 20%. Climate variability integrated into traffic models increases the prediction of long-term traffic trends by 12%, justifying the significance of the influence of climate factors in traffic management systems …”

Pathogen-specific epitopes as epidemiological tools for defining the magnitude of Mycobacterium leprae transmission in areas endemic for leprosy. by Marcia V S B Martins, Marjorie M da S Guimarães, John S Spencer, Mariana A V B Hacker, Luciana S Costa, Fernanda M Carvalho, Annemieke Geluk, Jolien J van der Ploeg-van Schip, Maria A A Pontes, Heitor S Gonçalves, Janvier P de Morais, Tereza J P G Bandeira, Maria C V Pessolani, Patrick J Brennan, Geraldo M B Pereira

“…This subset of M. leprae-specific peptides allowed the differentiation of groups of individuals from sites hyperendemic for leprosy versus those from areas with lower level detection rates. A progressive reduction in the IFN-γ levels in response to the peptides was seen when contacts of multibacillary (MB) patients were compared to other less exposed groups, suggesting a down modulation of IFN-γ production with an increase in bacillary load or exposure to M. leprae. …”

Numerical investigation of cooling enhancement in double-layer fractal-like microchannel disk heat sinks via layer shifting and tertiary channels by Hosein Akhtari, Ardalan Shafiei Ghazani

“…The thermal and hydrodynamic performance of these enhanced designs is numerically evaluated and compared with single-layer and standard double-layer configurations under heat fluxes of 40, 60, and 80 W/cm² and inlet flow rates from 300 to 600 ml/min. While double layering effectively reduces pressure drop by redistributing the coolant flow, integrating tertiary microchannels leads to an additional ∼1.5 % drop due to reduced velocity and wall shear stress. …”
