Meteorological Factors Influencing Slope Stability

2004
Climatic changes have largely influenced human activities and the features of the territory through the occurrence, for instance, of severe extreme events. Landslide occurrence, in most cases, is strictly correlated with very intense or prolonged rainfalls though the mechanism of transferring the effective precipitation to pore pressure.

Gender at birth and meteorological factors

International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine, 2000
Objective. In a previous study, we showed that the ratio of gender at birth (M/F ratio) appeared to vary by latitude. We postulate that meteorological factors may be responsible for this variation. In this study, M/F ratio in a central Mediterranean island were correlated to latitude dependent meteorological factors. Design.
