In recent years, a considerable amount of studies published locally which focused on the
influence of age on climate change ability. Accordingly, this has driven the present study to …

The shortwave direct radiative effect of dust, the difference between net shortwave radiative
flux in a cloud free and cloud and aerosol free atmosphere, is typically estimated using …

The impact of dust storms on human health has been well described in Asian and European
countries. Several research studies have examined adverse health outcomes attributable to …

Most dust forecast models focus on short, subseasonal lead times, that is, 3 to 6 days, and
the skill of seasonal prediction is not clear. In this study we examine the potential of …

Sarcoidosis is a multi-system disorder of granulomatous inflammation which most commonly
affects the lungs. Its etiology and pathogenesis are not well defined in part due to the lack of …
