Time-Series Analysis of Continuously Monitored Blood Glucose: The Impacts of Geographic and Daily Lifestyle Factors by Sean T. Doherty, Stephen P. Greaves

“…Data from a study of 40 patients with diabetes is utilized in this paper, including continuously monitored BG, food/medicine intake, and patient activity/location tracked using global positioning systems over a 4-day period. Standard linear regression and more disaggregated time-series analysis using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) are used to explore patient BG variation throughout the day and over space. …”

Daytime F Region Echoes at Equatorial Ionization Anomaly Crest During Geomagnetic Quiet Period: Observations From Multi‐Instruments by Yi Liu, Zhongxin Deng, Tong Xu, Jian Kong, Chen Zhou, Yibin Yao, Qiong Tang, Zhengyu Zhao

“…To investigate the possible generation mechanism of daytime F region echoes, simultaneous occurrences of ionospheric disturbance and atmospheric gravity wave activities were presented by combining with the observations of ionosonde, global position system stations and FY‐4A satellite. The existence of gravity wave from the deep convective activities in the lower atmosphere was confirmed by using FY‐4A satellite measurements. …”
