ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN THE SPATIOTEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF KAWASAKI DISEASE AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: EVIDENCE SUPPORTING A MULTIFACTORIAL ETIOLOGIC MODEL

Associations between the spatiotemporal distribution of Kawasaki disease and environmental factors: evidence supporting a multifactorial etiologic model

Abstract The etiology of Kawasaki Disease (KD), the most common cause of acquired heart Shirts disease in children in developed countries, remains elusive, but could be multifactorial in nature as suggested by the numerous environmental and infectious exposures that have previously been linked to its epidemiology.There is still a lack of a comprehe

Climate model emulation in an integrated assessment framework: a case study for mitigation policies in the electricity sector

We present a carbon-cycle–climate modelling framework using model emulation, designed for integrated assessment modelling, which introduces a new emulator of the carbon cycle (GENIEem).We demonstrate that GENIEem successfully reproduces the CO2 concentrations of the Representative Concentration Pathways when forced with the corresponding CO2
