The data collected by AWS are frequently used as input for complex computer simulation models that predict crop yield as a function of weather and soil conditions and crop management scenarios.
We modeled the proportion of parents returning to their nests and the proportion of eggs neglected (i.e. left unincubated for a period of at least 24 h) as a function of weather conditions.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the roughness of colorless ocular button and four brands of colorless acrylic resins designed to fabricate ocular prosthesis as a function of weathering (1008 h) and different thickness (1 and 3.5 mm).
Given time trends, the best-fit function of weather and pollutants was chosen, again based on AIC.
In another study, Florida department of Transportation (Florida DOT) developed empirical travel time variability models such as function of frequency of incidents, work zones and weather conditions.
Interruptions as a function of common weather conditions comprise a gap between those models, and this research will bridge that gap.
In many reptiles, the thermal regimes experienced by eggs in natural nests vary as a function of ambient weather and location, and this variation has important impacts on patterns of embryonic development.
This approach controls for possible effects of environmental variables that change as a function of variable weather patterns or fly age.
The comparison of Group 1 worm infection in 1998 versus Group 2 worm infection in 1999 is simply inappropriate, given the well-known variability across seasons and years in worm infection rates (as a function of local weather, precipitation, temperature, etc).
Using S-PLUS (version 6.2; Insightful, Seattle, WA, USA), we tested the association between weather and respiratory admissions with a nonlinear model and natural spline functions of weather variables to remove unwanted temporal trends.
