TLDR
A strong short-term increase in mortality was associated with cyclonic activity during the dry season, while ongoing low rainfall seemed to have an adverse impact at higher lags, and during the rainy season, precipitation seemed to mitigate heat effects.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Are precipitation concentration and intensity changing in Bangladesh overtimes? Analysis of the possible causes of changes in precipitation systems.
TL;DR: The results showed that the precipitation concentration index (LCI) varies between 0.57 and 0.63, and the highest value was found in the southeastern region, and SS is the largest contributing factor affecting the precipitation systems in Bangladesh.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation Concentration in Bangladesh over Different Temporal Periods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed precipitation concentration rates in different regions of Bangladesh using the precipitation concentration index (PCI) and the inverse distance weighting method and found that significant changes in the precipitation occurred during the period of 1980-2011.

Climate change and mortality evolution in China
Chengzheng Li,Haiying Gu +1 more
TL;DR: It is determined that only residential air conditioning played an important role in mitigating the temperature-mortality relationship in China, and climate change could partially explain China's rising mortality rate during the unprecedented economic boom experienced since the 1980s.

Screening for malaria antigen and anti-malarial IgG antibody in forcibly-displaced Myanmar nationals: Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh, 2018.

TL;DR: Absence of Plasmodium antigen in this population provides evidence that children in these three Bangladeshi refugee settlements did not have malaria at time of sampling, suggesting no active malaria parasite infections in the tested children.

TL;DR: The first volume of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report as mentioned in this paper was published in 2007 and covers several topics including the extensive range of observations now available for the atmosphere and surface, changes in sea level, assesses the paleoclimatic perspective, climate change causes both natural and anthropogenic, and climate models for projections of global climate.

Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R, Second Edition
TL;DR: In this article, a simple linear model is proposed to describe the geometry of linear models, and a general linear model specification in R is presented. But the theory of linear model theory is not discussed.

Fast stable restricted maximum likelihood and marginal likelihood estimation of semiparametric generalized linear models
TL;DR: In this article, a Laplace approximation is used to obtain an approximate restricted maximum likelihood (REML) or marginal likelihood (ML) for smoothing parameter selection in semiparametric regression.
