BACKGROUND The mortality impacts of hot and cold temperatures have been thoroughly documented, with most locations reporting a U-shaped relationship with a minimum mortality temperature (MMT) at which mortality is lowest. How MMT may have evolved over previous decades as the global mean surface temperature has increased has not been thoroughly explored. OBJECTIVE We used observations of daily...

in the paper we developed a new method to determine the absolute amount of adsorption. this method relies on the excess adsorption isotherm and the density profile in the pore of one material. to compute the density profile and decrease complex calculation of obtaining the absolute amount of adsorption we introduced simplified local-density (sld) model. a few of appropriate parameters were acqu...

an increase, even moderate, in global temperature is expected to result in a change in frequency of extreme weather events like drought, heavy rainfall and storms. the study of extreme events is difficult due to the fact that it is difficult to find long-term homogeneous data series. also the delimitation of extreme events is not univocal since a parameter value that would be defined as an extr...

materials exhibit significant creep behavior at temperatures above 40% of their absolute melt temperature. lead, tin and their alloys are such materials which experience significant creep behavior in room temperature. one of the most important applications of the tin-lead alloys is soldering electronic circuits in electronic industry, and for lead are isolation walls and wet batteries. room tem...

We establish three partial differential equation models describing the thermodynamic behavior of a fluid by combining energetic variational approach, appropriate constitutive relations, and classical laws. By using an explicit algebraic we show maximum/minimum principle for some auxiliary variables involving absolute temperature ? density ? under special conditions, which then yields positivity...
