Seasonality and intensity of airborne Boletus-type spores in relation to land use and weather pattern by Magdalena Wójcik, Idalia Kasprzyk

“…Higher spore concentrations were usually found in the region with a larger proportion of green areas, including forests. An analysis of the diurnal cycles showed that within 24 h spore concentration reached high levels twice, which was especially noticeable in ground level monitoring. …”

Study on Attribution Analysis and Response of Saltwater Intrusion in Modaomen Waterway During Dry Seasons by HUANG Chunhua, LIN Zhongyuan, ZOU Huazhi, HUANG Pengfei, XU Wei

“…Under the influence of climate change and human activities, the saltwater intrusion in the Modaomen Estuary Waterway has intensified significantly,which has greatly threatened the safety of the water supply in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Based on the daily exceedance time data of seven stations in the Modaomen Waterway,daily maximum tidal range,volume of runoff, mean sea level,cross-shore wind,and alongshore wind from 2004 to 2016,empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and univariate and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out to reveal the response relationship between the saltwater intrusion and the impact factors and quantify the contribution of each impact factor.The results show that the maximum contribution to the saltwater intrusion is the tidal range,followed by the volume of runoff, which can explain 30% and 28% of the diurnal variation of the exceedance time, respectively.The contribution of wind to the saltwater intrusion is slightly greater than that of the mean sea level,and the contribution of wind and mean sea level to the saltwater intrusion is 12% and 11%,respectively.The effect of cross-shore wind is slightly greater than that of alongshore wind.The peak of Modaomen saltwater intrusion appears in 3.2 days after the minimum tidal range,and the salinity of Modaomen Waterway is not suppressed until 1.8 days after the increase in the volume of runoff of Gaoyao station.This paper can provide theoretical support for watershed scheduling and saltwater intrusion forecast.…”

Numerical Modeling of Soil Evaporation Process and Its Stages Dividing during a Drying Cycle by Jiangbo Han, Jin Lin, Yunfeng Dai

“…According to simulation results, the whole 20-d simulation period was divided into two main stages as well as a transient period from stage 1 to stage 2. Diurnal patterns of energy and water balance components, soil moisture, soil temperature, water fluxes, evaporation rate, dry surface layer (DSL), and evaporation zone during this drying process were fully described, which, in turn, could be as the possible indicators for judging the shift of stages of evaporation.…”

Melatonin in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Analysis Using Modern Mathematical Modeling Methods by Justyna Paprocka, Marek Kijonka, Łukasz Boguszewicz, Maria Sokół

“…The parameters of the melatonin secretion models were interpreted and compared with those obtained for the patients with epilepsy (n=76) and the children from the control, nonepileptic group (n=36). To describe the diurnal melatonin secretion, mathematical model was constructed and nonlinear least squares method with the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization algorithm was applied to approximate its parameters. …”

Temporal interactions among carnivores in an anthropized landscape of the coastal mountain range in southern Chile by García-Solís Fernando, Zúñiga Alfredo H., Rau Jaime R., Encina-Montoya Francisco, Garcés Cristóbal

“…A differentiation was observed in the circadian cycle of the species, where the fox was predominantly nocturnal, while the cougar maintained a random activity pattern, in contrast to the dog and humans, which were the most diurnal. The ecological implications derived from the observed patterns are discussed, mainly in relation to the interference exerted by the exotic species.…”

A Numerical Investigation of the Precipitation over Lake Victoria Basin Using a Coupled Atmosphere-Lake Limited-Area Model by Xia Sun, Lian Xie, Fredrick H. M. Semazzi, Bin Liu

“…Under thorough examination of diagnostic analysis, a distinguished diurnal phenomenon has been unveiled. The precipitation mainly occurs during the nocturnal peak between midnight and early in the morning, which is associated with the strong land breeze circulation, when the lake temperature is warmer than the adjacent land. …”

Solar Radiation, Air Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Dew Point Study: Damak, Jhapa, Nepal by Arun Kumar Shrestha, Arati Thapa, Hima Gautam

“…Dew point was also calculated from the actual readings of air temperature and relative humidity using the online calculator, and the calculated value showed the exact linear relationship with the observed value. The diurnal and nocturnal temperature of each month showed that temperature difference was relatively lower (less than 10°C) at summer rather than in winter.…”
