The aim of the study was to detect the associations between heart rate variability (HRV) and weather variables in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting or valve surgery. The study was performed in Kaunas, Lithuania, during 2008-2012. We used data of 220 patients. HRV was assessed by a 5-minute electrocardiogram. The data were collected at 1.5 months, 1 year, and 2 years after the surgery (495 measurements). A negative association of standard deviation of beat-to-beat interval (SDNN), very low frequency (VLF), low frequency, and high frequency (HF) powers with a decrease in air temperature (T) during a 3-day period in the range of T < 1°C wind speed >2.75 knots 2 days before, and the daily North Atlantic Oscillation indices were observed. The effect of wind speed on SDNN and VLF power was stronger in males. Two days after relative humidity >89%, a lower mean VLF and higher HF in normalized units were found; in females, this effect was stronger 1.5 months after the surgery. Among patients after open-heart surgery, the HRV variables may be related to specific weather changes and the effect of weather was different for males and females and at different times after the surgery.

Headland bypassing is a mainly wave-driven coastal process that interconnects sediment compartments and allows the continuity of longshore sediment transport. In turn, waves are subject to the variability of atmospheric patterns and climate drivers. This study focuses on identifying the atmospheric systems and associated hydrodynamic conditions that have triggered bypassing pulses in the study area, Fingal Head (New South Wales, Australia), over the last 33 years.

This study explores the correlation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater effluents using liquid chromatography (LC), supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) with derivatization, all coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Over 300 compounds, including frequently overlooked highly polar and nonpharmaceutical CECs, were identified. Monitoring programs mainly focus on reducing variability and assessing pollution in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents under dry weather conditions, often neglecting wet-weather discharges.

This study examined the regulatory effects of autonomic nervous system on aerobic endurance exercise performance in cold exposure, focusing on heart rate recovery (HRR) and heart rate variability (HRV) across genders. Thirty participants (17 males and 13 females) from a university track endurance program, classified as exercise grade II or above, underwent monitoring of HRV in time domain, frequency domain, nonlinear correlation indices and 1 min HRR. Measurements were taken before, during, and after aerobic endurance exercise in cold and normal environments, respectively.

The mechanical properties of soil, resulting from the weathering of rocks through physical and chemical processes, exhibit spatial variability. This variability introduces uncertainties in the design and characteristics of excavation projects. To address these uncertainties caused by soil spatial variability, safety factors are commonly used in excavation design.
