We present for the first time objectively mapped natural radiocarbon (14C) abundance in the global deep ocean using mostly new measurements from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Compared to earlier data from the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study, the new data number almost seven times more. Also, the WOCE data collected during the 1990s have sufficient spatial coverage to make obje...

Heat waves are among natural hazards with the most severe consequences for human society, including pronounced mortality impacts in mid-latitudes. Recent studies have hypothesized that the enhanced persistence of atmospheric circulation may affect surface climatic extremes, mainly the frequency and severity of heat waves. In this paper we examine relationships between the persistence of the Hes...

We examine the relative roles of direct atmospheric radiative forcing (due to observed changes in well-mixed greenhouse gases, tropospheric and stratospheric ozone, sulfate and volcanic aerosols, and solar output) and observed sea surface temperature (SST) forcing of global atmospheric circulation trends during the second half of the 20 century using atmospheric general circulation modeling exp...

The natural history of aneurysms of the major arteries after revascularization in moyamoya disease has yet to be documented. At our institute, we treated two patients with moyamoya disease-associated aneurysms involving major arteries of the posterior cerebral circulation. The aneurysms became enlarged at an early stage after revascularization, necessitating coil embolization. Although cerebral...

despite the similar performance of bazaar1 in different cities of iran, there are some the skeletal differences between markets in different climates. the bazaar roof protects customers against natural events in any climate. the ceiling height and the sitting down of the bazaar`s floor are determined based on the need for air circulation and movement in various climates. hence, combination of a...

Partial depletion of the primary circuit during a postulated small break loss of coolant accident can lead to the interruption of one-phase flow natural circulation. In this case, the decay heat is removed from the core in the reflux-condenser mode. In case of the partial non-availability of the safety injection system, weakly borated condensate can accumulate in particular in the pump loop sea...
