TL;DR: In this paper, the authors built linear regression and random forest regression models using 4-year (2015-2018; hourly-averaged) observations for forecasting ground level ozone (O3), nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels for two scenarios (1-month prediction for January 2019) and 1-year prediction (for 2019) with and without the impact of meteorology.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the reforestation policy, which is introduced to mitigate the climate warming and greenhouse gas emissions, causes a further increase in temperature along with heat discomfort to both human and livestock.
Abstract: The increase of temperature attributed to anthropogenic emissions
is projected to continue in future climate scenarios. Protocols and policies are
being put in place in several European countries to reduce both emissions
and impact of human activities on climate. The Irish Reforestation policy is
a good example of such protocols. Nevertheless often contemplated policies
do not take into account their potential effects on the atmospheric variables.
This study aims to assess the influence of the increase of vegetation cover over
Ireland, on surface temperature, livestock and human heat comfort, using the
Weather Research Forecast (WRF-ARW 3.7.1) model. Multi-scale numerical
simulations are performed under two scenarios: (i) a “control scenario” con-
sidering no change in vegetation cover with respect to the prescribed one and
(ii) a “green scenario” with increased tree cover based on the introduced Irish
Reforestation policy. To simulate this policy, the cropland and vegetative mo-
saic is substituted with evergreen broad leaf forest, increasing the total forest
area from 19.7% to 36.2% of the land in the analyzed domain. This change
in vegetation cover increases the temperature over the simulated domain up
to 0.7oC and, moreover, it enhances both human and livestock heat discom-
fort during the day-time, with different magnitude all over the domain. It is
concluded that the reforestation policy, which is introduced to mitigate the
climate warming and greenhouse gas emissions, causes a further increase in
temperature along with heat discomfort to both human and livestock.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of the assessment of air pollution impacts on vegetation, with a specific focus on chronicling and summarizing scientific methods that quantify those impacts, is presented, and the best possible experimental set ups and wide array of plant health parameters for determining and understanding the effects of different air pollutants on a variety of plant species has been emphasized.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), which is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries.
Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries, whether obstructive or non-obstructive. This process can be modified by lifestyle adjustments, pharmacological therapies, and invasive interventions designed to achieve disease stabilization or regression. The disease can have long, stable periods but can also become unstable at any time, typically due to an acute atherothrombotic event caused by plaque rupture or erosion. However, the disease is chronic, most often progressive, and hence serious, even in clinically apparently silent periods. The dynamic nature of the CAD process results in various clinical presentations, which can be conveniently categorized as either acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). The Guidelines presented here refer to the management of patients with CCS. The natural history of CCS is illustrated in Figure 1.

TL;DR: The work of the IPCC Working Group III 5th Assessment report as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change, which has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.
Abstract: The talk with present the key results of the IPCC Working Group III 5th assessment report. Concluding four years of intense scientific collaboration by hundreds of authors from around the world, the report responds to the request of the world's governments for a comprehensive, objective and policy neutral assessment of the current scientific knowledge on mitigating climate change. The report has been extensively reviewed by experts and governments to ensure quality and comprehensiveness.
