Radiance data from satellite microwave radiometers are becoming increasingly important in the assimilation of numerical prediction systems. FengYun-3E (FY-3E), which was launched July 2021, as first early morning orbital among FY-3 polar-orbiting meteorological series, can greatly enhance atmospheric sounding capacity three orbits compared with two-orbit system that is distributed or afternoon ...

the use of proteins and peptides as human therapeutics has been increased in recent years. lipase is a relatively homogeneous proteinaceous enzyme indicated in maldigestion. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of humidity along with compactional pressure on the enzymatic activity of wheat germ lipase. samples of lipase powder were kept at different relative humidity (rh)...

The relationship between winter (DJF) rainfall over Portugal and the variable large scale circulation is addressed. It is shown that the poles of the sea level pressure (SLP) field variability associated with rainfall variability are shifted about 15° northward with respect to those used in standard definitions of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). It is suggested that the influence of NAO o...

An ultrasensitive CO(2) sensor with a detection limit of 500 ppt was achieved using poly(ionic liquid)-wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes as sensing materials. The sensor exhibited superior selectivity to CO(2) and was resistant to the interference of relative humidity.

Bio-nanocomposite films based on sago starch containing 2% cinnamon essential oil and 3% titanium dioxide nanoparticles were used in the packaging of fresh pistachios and stored at different temperatures (4, 25, and 35 ˚C) and relative humidity (30, 50, and 70%) for 20 days, and pistachio properties were evaluated in five-day intervals. Using these films in packaging improved the physicochemica...

This paper investigated the Sr doping effect on the microstructure, chemical stability, and conductivity of Ba1-x Sr x Ce0.65Zr0.25Nd0.1O3-δ (0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.2) electrolyte prepared by sol-gel method. The lattice constants and unit cell volumes were found to decrease as Sr atomic percentage increased in accordance with the Vegard law, confirming the formation of solid solution. Incorporation of Sr in...
