One must presume that Schoener derived two more crases in the same way: 'dry' with 'hot' and 'cold' balanced, and 'moist' with 'hot' and 'cold' balanced. In his opinion the yield was then eight combined crases, plus four simple crases and the eucrasic state in which 'hot' and 'cold', and 'warm' and 'moist' were equally balanced. But it should be obvious that in the simple crasis 'hot' (where 'h...

even in healthy infants,5 unmasks the true nature of the underlying disorder in many such infants who, already profoundly salt-depleted and unable to tolerate further fluid loss, sink rapidly into severe dehydration and shock. The aldosterone content of breast milk is unknown, but it may, as in the case of progesterone, reflect blood concentration.6 The possibility that this or other breast mil...

We present the Representative Temperature and Precipitation (T&P) GCM Subsetting Approach developed within the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) to select a practical subset of global climate models (GCMs) for regional integrated assessment of climate impacts when resource limitations do not permit the full ensemble of GCMs to be evaluated given the need to also...

Oversizing of air conditioners is a common practice that reduces comfort and energy efficiency; the practice also results in higher first costs and exacerbates the effects of residential air conditioning on utility peak demand. At a subdivision in a hot dry climate (Redding, CA), a production homebuilder completed several houses at their standard practice equipment sizing of 155 to 185% of the ...

Abstract Climate change is accelerating and can seriously affect the built environment, if not properly acknowledged in design maintenance stages. Despite globally expected warming, climate changes will differ depending on region type. What implications temperature, precipitation wind have degradation of building envelope, Southern Europe? How performance façade claddings be affected by end cen...

introduction climate is a system consisting of atmosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. this system is involved in the exchange of energy and moisture among these five components. the exchanges link the atmosphere as the central component of the climate to other spheres. changes do not occur separately in this system; rather change in one component contributes to reactio...
