Using particle swarm optimization to improve visibility-aerosol optical depth retrieval method

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2021
In view of the lack of long-term AOD (Aerosol Optical Depth) data, PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm is introduced and joint used with NLSM (the nonlinear least square method) to improve visibility-AOD retrieval method, which is referred to as ...

Geographical Latitude Remains as an Important Factor for the Prevalence of Some Myositis Autoantibodies: A Systematic Review

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are characterized by muscular weakness, cutaneous manifestations, muscle damage revealed by increase of muscular enzymes, muscle biopsy, electromyography and changes on magnetic resonance imaging. However, the

Temperature, Humidity and Latitude Analysis to Predict Potential Spread and Seasonality for COVID-19.

Social Science Research Network, 2020
BACKGROUND A significant number of infectious diseases display seasonal patterns in their incidence, including human coronaviruses. Betacoronaviruses such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV are not thought to be seasonal.

Latitudinal trends in the structure, similarity and beta diversity of plant communities invaded by Alternanthera philoxeroides in heterogeneous habitats

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Variations in latitudinal gradients could lead to changes in the performance and ecological effects of invasive plants and thus may affect the species composition, distribution and interspecific substitution of native plant communities.

Changes in the near-surface shear layer of the Sun [PDF]

, 2021
We use helioseismic data obtained over two solar cycles to determine whether there are changes in the near-surface shear layer (NSSL). We examine this by determining the radial gradient of the solar rotation rate. The radial gradient itself shows a solar-cycle dependence, and the changes are more pronounced in the active latitudes than at adjoining ...

Divergent response of Pinus pumila growth to climate warming at different latitudes and in different simulation predictions

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Understanding the responses of shrub growth to climate changes is key to accurately predicting the dynamic changes in the boreal forest ecosystem. A shrub-ring network based on 12 sites was established to explore the response of Pinus pumila growth to ...
