Temperature stabilization requires that CO2 emissions be limited to less than 3 Gt Carbon equivalent, from the present level of more than 6 Gt. Despite an increase of primary energy demand by 250% in 2050 we find that a nuclear intensive scenario assuming the development of a 3000 GWe pool of PWR reactors by 2030 and of an additional 6000 GWe pool of U-Pu or Th-U reactors by 2050 would lead to ...

OBJECTIVE To derive and display the percentile score (1st-99th percentile) at each perimetric location of a standard automated perimetry test to determine whether this technique will uncover patterns of loss not visible in standard (StatPac) probability maps. METHODS We computed continuous scale probability plots of data collected from testing 305 visually healthy participants with standard a...

the aim of the current research was to compare motor development in 3–6-year-old children from ahvaz with denver developmental screening test ii. themethodology of this research was descriptive – survey. the statistical populationconsisted of children from ahvaz and 1044 children aged between 3 and 6 wereselected from ahvaz kindergartens by cluster random sampling method. denverdevelopmental sc...

We consider branching of baby universes off parent one in (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity with 24 types of conformal matter fields. This theory is equivalent to string theory in a certain background in D = 26-dimensional target space, so this process may be also viewed as the emission of a light string state by a heavy string. We find that bare energy is not conserved in (1+1) dimensions due ...

An analogue of the Riemannian Geometry for an ultrametric Cantor set (C, d) is described using the tools of Noncommutative Geometry. Associated with (C, d) is a weighted rooted tree, its Michon tree [28]. This tree allows to define a family of spectral triples (CLip(C),H, D) using the l space of its vertices, giving the Cantor set the structure of a noncommutative Riemannian manifold. Here CLip...

assessing the potential impacts of 21st-century climate change on species distributions and ecological processes requires climate scenarios with sufficient spatial resolution. in this study we projected future changes in maximum temperature and minimum temperature under cmip3 sres and cmip5 rcps scenarios with two station-based datasets (arazkoseh and nodeh) of the eastern golestan province. ch...

Future emission scenarios can interfere with the yield of major crops. In this study, we investigated future impact increased air temperature and relative humidity on melon phenology water demand in Brazilian semi-arid region. We applied PRECIS (Providing Regional Climates for Impact Studies) climatological model to develop Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change scenarios—B2 optimistic scenario...

The study of extreme events has become of great interest in recent years due to their direct impact on society. Extremes are usually evaluated by using extreme indicators, based on order statistics on the tail of the probability distribution function (typically percentiles). In this study, we focus on the tail of the distribution of daily maximum and minimum temperatures. For this purpose, we a...

background: childhood obesity could induce some risk factors for cardiovascular disease (cvd) including serum lipid abnormalities, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. the present study aimed to comparison the lipid profile in normal children with cases having overweight, obesity and central obesity . methods : i n this case control study , which was conducted 2013 , serum lipids for three groups...
