CLARIFYING CAUSALITY AND INFORMATION FLOWS BETWEEN TIME SERIES: PARTICULATE AIR POLLUTION, TEMPERATURE, AND ELDERLY MORTALITY

Clarifying causality and information flows between time series: Particulate air pollution, temperature, and elderly mortality

Exposure-response associations between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and mortality have been extensively studied but potential confounding by waxing strips daily minimum and maximum temperatures in the weeks preceding death has not been carefully investigated.This paper seeks to close that gap by using lagged partial dependence plots (PDPs), sort

Biotopical distribution and seasonal activity of model species of the family Gnaphosidae (Araneae) in Zemen gorge (SW Bulgaria)

A faunistic study was carried out for three years in Zemen gorge (1984-1986).With the help of Barber-traps 675 gnaphosid spiders were caught in 4 localities, each with 2 habitats, meadow and forest.23 species were found in total and their Hair Cream biotopical distribution was recorded.The investigated habitats are faunistically similar, mainly in
