Abstract. Analysis of short sediment cores collected in Grand Lake, Labrador, revealed that this lake is an excellent candidate for the preservation a laminated record. The great depth availability fine sediments along its tributaries and important seasonal river inflow have favoured formation 160-year-long clastic varved sequence. Each varve represents 1 hydrological year. Varve mainly related...

The manifestations of climate variability are a major problem for all communities around the world and particularly populations Department Alibori in northern Benin. This study aims to characterize department north Republic Thus, climatic data such as rainfall, air temperature relative humidity were collected from national meteorological service. These analyzed using descriptive statistics (mea...

Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with maxillary sinus carcinoma have improved patient prognosis. This study investigated changes in demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes of patients with maxillary sinus carcinomas during three different 10-year periods spanning 60 years at our university hospital. Of the 233 patients with maxillary sinus ca...

Most macrofungi produce ephemeral fruit bodies during autumn but some have adapted to spring fruiting. In this study, temporal changes in the time of spring fruiting in Norway and the UK during 1960-2007 have been investigated by statistical analyses of about 6000 herbarium and field records, covering 34 species. Nearly 30 per cent of the temporal variation in fruiting could be ascribed to spat...

The principle features of tornado climatology in the UK are presented based on the 5-year period from January 1995. Just over one third of reported tornadoes occurred in the south-east region of England, and most tornado activity took place during the spring and summer while the least activity occurred during autumn. This was different to the seasonal distribution for the period from 1960 to 19...

Like culture war, race has many meanings. It can refer to objective essence, or characteristics that are inherited through genes, blood, mystical spirits. Conversely, is conceptualized as a historically changing social construction, concept whose references and attributes vary according present needs. In this article, I employ both conceptualizations two illustrative examples. The first racism ...

THE elbow joint tolerates trauma poorly and even radiologically minor injuries can be followed by major disability. Fracture of the radial head is the commonest elbow injury, accounting for 37 per cent. of this injury at the Royal Victoria Hospital in the period under review (44 per cent. Murray (1940); 30 per cent. Mason (1954)). In the two-and-a-half-year period, 1st January, 1958-30th June, ...

For the 1960–2000 period, latest generation of climate models (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 [CMIP6]) shows less global mean surface temperature change relative to pre-industrial than that seen in observations. In contrast, previous (CMIP5) performed well over this period. It has been hypothesized suppressed late-20th Century warming CMIP6 is caused by a stronger aerosol forcing...

Abstract A long simulation over the period 1901–2010 with an eddy-permitting ocean circulation model is used to study variability of upper layer in North Ionian Gyre (NIG) Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMed). The driven by atmospheric forcing from twentieth century reanalysis data set ERA-20C, ensuring a consistent performance entire period. main modes known EMed, particular decadal reversals NIG ...
