Estimating actual vapor pressure (ea) without relative humidity (RH) data continues to draw research attention. One of the accurate ways estimate ea is through estimation dew point temperature (Tdew) from minimum (Tmin) or mean (Tmean). Two existing methods have been largely used ea. The first method (method I) assumes that Tdew close Tmin. other one II) adjusts Tmin with piecewise correction f...

Semi-arid ecosystems are key contributors to the global carbon cycle and may even dominate the inter-annual variability (IAV) and trends of the land carbon sink, driven largely by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The linkages between dynamics of semi-arid ecosystems and climate at the hemispheric scale however are not well known. Here, we use satellite data and climate observations from...

The use of archived injormatiori arid knowledge derived from data-driven system, both at the poirit of care and retrospectively, is critical to iniproving the balance between healthcare e.rperiditure arid healthcare qirality. Data-driveti clinical decision support, augmented by pe$orinance feedback arid edircatiori, is a logical addition to consensus arid evidence-based ripproaches on the path ...

Hyper-arid regions are characterized by extreme conditions for growing and lack of water (<100 mm annual rainfall average), where desertification renders human activities almost impossible. In addition to the use irrigation, different viticultural strategies should be taken into account face adverse effects these in which rootstocks may play a crucial role. The research aim was evaluate root...

The grain size composition of topsoil characterizes the soil texture and other physical properties. The coarsening of topsoil grain size is a visible symbol of land degradation; thereby the change in topsoil grain size can be potentially used to monitor desertification using remote sensing. This study proposes a new index for detecting topsoil grain size composition through ground in situ soil ...

The ARID (A-T Rich Interaction Domain) is a helix-turn-helix motif-based DNA-binding domain, conserved in all eukaryotes and diagnostic of a family that includes 15 distinct human proteins with important roles in development, tissue-specific gene expression and proliferation control. The 15 human ARID family proteins can be divided into seven subfamilies based on the degree of sequence identity...

Abstract Multimedia content access sovereignty arises due to the intention of producers enable subscribers from pre–defined regions multimedia content. This limits number locations (with subscribers) that can producer Therefore, ability across previously unconsidered is limited. The presented research addresses this challenge and focuses on sharing among in arid hyper–arid regions. use stratosp...

We extend the continuity of microblade technology in the Indian Subcontinent to 45 ka, on the basis of optical dating of microblade assemblages from the site of Mehtakheri, (22° 13' 44″ N Lat 76° 01' 36″ E Long) in Madhya Pradesh, India. Microblade technology in the Indian Subcontinent is continuously present from its first appearance until the Iron Age (~3 ka), making its association with mode...

A model of range expansions during glacial maxima (GM) for cold-adapted species is generally accepted for the Northern Hemisphere. Given that GM in Australia largely resulted in the expansion of arid zones, rather than glaciation, it could be expected that arid-adapted species might have had expanded ranges at GM, as cold-adapted species did in the Northern Hemisphere. For Australian biota, how...
