Despite the popularity of the conveyor-belt model for portraying the airflow through midlatitude cyclones, questions arise as to the path of the cold conveyor belt, the lower-tropospheric airflow poleward of and underneath the warm front. Some studies, beginning with Carlson’s analysis of the eastern U.S. cyclone of 5 December 1977, depict the cold conveyor belt moving westward, reaching the no...

concentration of heavy metals in aquatic ecosystems is considered as an important environmantal issue. in this study, the namrood river located in firoozkooh (tehran province, iran) was assessed for the existence of heavy metals. the namrood river is situated by the main road being by pollutants from tourism and recreational centers, gas stations, sewage of villages, agricultural wastewater and...

We investigate the dynamics of magnetic fields in spiral galaxies by performing 3D Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations of galactic discs subject to a spiral potential using cold gas, warm gas and a two phase mixture of both. Recent hydrodynamic simulations have demonstrated the formation of inter-arm spurs as well as spiral arm molecular clouds provided the ISM model includes a cold HI phase...

Context. Dust properties are very likely affected by the environment in which dust grains evolve. For instance, some analyses of cold clumps (7 K17 K) indicate that the aggregation process is favored in dense environments. However, studying warm (30 K-40 K) dust emission at long wavelength (λ>300 μm) has been limited because it is difficult to combine far infrared-to-millimeter (FIR-to-mm) spec...

The hypothesis of pacemaker level origin of thermal compensation in heart rate was tested by recording action potentials (AP) in intact sinoatrial tissue and enzymatically isolated pacemaker cells of rainbow trout acclimated at 4 degrees C (cold) and 18 degrees C (warm). With electrophysiological recordings, the primary pacemaker was located at the base of the sinoatrial valve, where a morpholo...
