Does fasting during Ramadan increase the risk of the development of sialadenitis? by Michael V. Joachim, Yasmine Ghantous, Suleiman Zaaroura, Kutaiba Alkeesh, Tameem Zoabi, Imad Abu el-Na’aj

“…Abstract Background Ramadan is a month within the Islamic lunar calendar when Muslims are required to fast (abstain from food and drink) during the daytime (from sunrise to sunset) for the entire month. Due to the established connection between fasting and dehydration and acute sialadenitis, the aim of this study is to determine if there is a higher frequency of sialadenitis among the Muslim population during Ramadan than during other months of the year. …”

Supplementing aerial drone surveys with biotelemetry data validates wildlife detection probabilities by Aliesha Hvala, Rebecca M. Rogers, Mamoun Alazab, Hamish A. Campbell

“…Utilizing a fixed-wing drone equipped with a dual camera (thermal infrared and RGB), we conducted multiple flights over the study area during both wet and dry seasons, from sunrise to sunset. The study found that the probability that a pig was visible in aerial imagery was highly variable depending on the timing of the aerial survey. …”

Moving Average Market Timing in European Energy Markets: Production Versus Emissions by Chia-Lin Chang, Jukka Ilomäki, Hannu Laurila, Michael McAleer

“…The financial assets include Intercontinental Exchange Futures Europe (ICE-ECX) carbon emission allowances (the main driver of interest), European Energy Exchange (EEX) Coal ARA futures and ICE Brent oil futures (reflecting the two largest energy sources in Europe), Stoxx600 Europe Oil and Gas Index (the main energy stock index in Europe), EEX Power Futures (representing electricity), and Stoxx600 Europe Renewable Energy index (representing the sunrise energy industry). This paper finds that the Moving Average (MA) technique beats random timing for carbon emission allowances, coal, and renewable energy. …”

Short-term statistical analysis of the occurrence of the F3 layer in Malaysian ionosphere for winter 2004 by Jaafar, Mohd Kamal

“…Between 0700 LT to 0900 LT (2300 - 0200 UTC) the occurrence is the least due to ion density being minimum just after sunrise. The mean critical frequency for the F3 layer is about 8 MHz (f0F3) and for the F2 layer is about 6 MHz (foF2 ), while the mean virtual height for F3 layer is about 600 km (h'F3) and 300 km (h'F2) for F2 layer. …”

Bromide and other ions in the snow, firn air, and atmospheric boundary layer at Summit during GSHOX by J. E. Dibb, L. D. Ziemba, J. Luxford, P. Beckman

“…Speciation and the source of this free tropospheric Br&lt;sup&gt;&amp;minus;&lt;/sup&gt; are not well constrained, but we suggest it may be linked to extensive regions of active Br chemistry in the Arctic basin which are known to cause ozone and mercury depletion events shortly after polar sunrise. If this hypothesis is correct, it implies persistence of the free troposphere Br&lt;sup&gt;&amp;minus;&lt;/sup&gt; for several months after peak Br activation in March/April. …”
