The next generation of climate-driven, disease prediction models will most likely require a mechanistically based, dynamical framework that parameterizes key processes at a variety of locations. Over the next two decades, consensus climate predictions make it possible to produce forecasts for a number of important infectious diseases that are largely independent of the uncertainty of longer-term emissions scenarios. In particular, the role of climate in the modulation of seasonal disease transmission needs to be unravelled from the complex dynamics resulting from the interaction of transmission with herd immunity and intervention measures that depend upon previous burdens of infection. Progress is also needed to solve the mismatch between climate projections and disease projections at the scale of public health interventions. In the time horizon of seasons to years, early warning systems should benefit from current developments on multi-model ensemble climate prediction systems, particularly in areas where high skill levels of climate models coincide with regions where large epidemics take place. A better understanding of the role of climate extremes on infectious diseases is urgently needed.  相似文献   

The thin layer of Warm Ionized Gas: towards a 3-D reconstruction of the spatial distribution of HII regions     

Roberta Paladini  Rod Davies  Gianfranco DeZotti 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2004,289(3-4):363-366

HII regions are known to contribute to the so-called thin layer of the diffuse Warm Ionized Gas. In order to constrain thiscontribution, we reconstruct the 3-D distribution of the sources.A detailed spatial analysis of the largest up-to-date sample of HIIregions is presented.  相似文献

16 lines of Pr ii possibly present in the solar photospheric spectrum have been studied. When including hyperfine structure in synthetic calculations, investigations of 9 lines result in an abundance A _Pr = 0.71 ± 0.08 in the log A _H = 12.00 scale.  相似文献

Ethnic coexistence in a pluralistic campus environment   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Emile Kok-Kheng Yeoh 《GeoJournal》2006,66(3):223-241

In Malaysia, ethnic segregation seems to have grown more and more pronounced at all levels of education, which may have in the main contributed to increasing occupational segregation by ethnicity when the graduates left to join the job market. Such trends may be disturbing given the effort the country has put in to promote interethnic understanding and reduce interethnic economic disparity since 1970. By critically investigating the dynamics of ethnic coexistence in the microcosm of the university campus environment, this paper provides statistical evidence to show how far the country has progressed in terms of ethnic relations since the watershed events of May 13, 1969; to what extent Malaysian multiethnic society is different now compared to the unmistakable racial “corporateness” and interethnic “separateness” that Furnivall observed in his classic study of 1948; and in what ways ethnic relations have been reshaped by three decades of affirmative action policies and the form of ethnic democracy adapted for this unique society.

Etude comparative,au point de vue quantitatif,de l'eau du réseau d'alimentation de la Ville de Genève durant l'année 1893 et durant l'année 1948     

Emile Novel 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1949,11(3-4):546-550

Résumé L'eau de consommation délivrée actuellement à la population genevoise et d'une richesse en germes nettement plus élevée que celle délivrée en 1893. L'augmentation du nombre des microorganismes est due, avant tout, à la pollution des canalisations dans lesquelles le plancton mort sert de substrat nutritif aux bactéries et leur permet de se multiplier dans l'eau des conduites.

Zusammenfassung Das Trinkwasser der Stadt Genf weist heute eine auffallend h?here Keimzahl auf als im Jahr 1893. Dies ist auf die Verschmutzung der Kanalisationen zurückzuführen. In ihnen finden die Bakterien im abgestorbenen Plankton ein günstiges N?hrsubstrat, so da? sie sich in den Wasserleitungen vermehren.
