VARIABILITY OF CARBON AND WATER FLUXES FOLLOWING CLIMATE EXTREMES OVER A TROPICAL FOREST IN SOUTHWESTERN AMAZONIA.

Variability of carbon and water fluxes following climate extremes over a tropical forest in southwestern Amazonia.

The carbon and water cycles for a southwestern Amazonian forest site were investigated using the longest time series of fluxes of CO2 and water vapor ever reported for this site.The period from 2004 to 2010 included two severe droughts (2005 and 2010) and a flooding year Coaster Set (2009).The effects of such climate extremes were detected in annua

Impacts of Occupant Behavior on Building Energy Consumption and Energy Savings Analysis of Upgrading ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Efficiency Standards

Commercial prototype building models were developed by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) to analyze the energy savings of the ASHRAE 90.1 standard.However, in the DOE models, occupant behavior inputs were deterministic and the stochasticity of occupant behavior was not fully characterized.This study evaluated the impacts of stochastic oc

Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio in hypertensive patients: A prospective cross-sectional study

Background: Long-term hypertension progresses to produce atherothrombotic disease.Chronic inflammation may contribute to epithelial dysfunction and atherogenesis and is associated with high blood pressure.Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) ratios are the Kids T-Shirt predictors of the cardiovascular diseases.Ho
