The ecosystems of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are very sensitive to climate change because their unique structure and function. However, little attention has been paid variations in cold non-growing season. In this study, based on daily mean temperature from 63 meteorological stations throughout the QTP during period 1961 ? 2018, spatial temporal freezing (FP) were investigated. FP was define...

Reanalyses are important tools for understanding past weather and climate variability, but detailed verification of near surface humidity variables have not been published. This is particularly concerning in tropical regions where humid conditions impact meteorology human activities. In this study, we used screen level temperature data from a high-resolution atmospheric regional reanalysis, the...

_____________________________________________________________ Different catalysts based on Y-zeolite, ZSM-5 and amorphous kaolin were prepared and characterized. The catalytic cracking of 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (1,3,5-TIPB), 1,4diisopropylbenzene (1,4-DIPB) and n-dodecane were used to investigate the effect of catalyst nature on the catalytic performance. Cracking the largest molecule (1,3,5...

Machinima is digital visuals created with game engines that build real-time 3D CG (computer graphic) environment. Composition of scene and facial animation play important role in composition of Machinima’s videos. Character facial animation is frequently used in scene composition that mainly displays face and upper body of the character. Expressing character’s emotion is an important factor in ...

Abstract Land surface and atmosphere are interlocked by the hydrological energy cycles effects of soil water-air coupling can modulate near-surface temperatures. In this work, three paired experiments were designed to evaluate impacts different moisture initial boundary conditions on summer temperatures in Mediterranean transitional climate regime region. area, evapotranspiration is not limited...

Several diseases are difficult to control specially in subtropical regions and perennial hosts where the pathogen survive easily within plant. The aim of this study was identify which pathogens surviving after end one season at beginning next inform represent potential risk as primary inoculum season. Survival on apple tree twigs evaluated during dormancy vegetative growth four orchards located...

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a strong greenhouse gas, and the emissions from managed soils are increasing. Emissions of N2O highly variable in time space, there potential triggers for emission peaks both crop season no-crop season. The aim this study was to compare how fertilizer treatments, differing rate source nitrogen (N), influence direct soil, as well season, with use automated, high-frequency ...

Model-type thin films of Gd doped and Gd/Mn co-doped ceria were investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy in a humid H2 atmosphere. A novel measurement technique for microelectrodes with interdigitating Pt current collectors was employed. This method allows a separation of the different elementary processes contributing to the electrode impedance. After annealing at 650°C in humid H2 atmo...

The Burseraceae are represented in Peru by six genera and 50 species (Brako & Zarucchi, 1993; Ulloa Ulloa et al., 2004), all of them trees. Here we recognize two endemic taxa in two genera. These taxa are found in the Very Humid Lowland Amazonian Forests and Very Humid Premontane Forest regions, between 150 and 1300 m elevation. Neither species has been registered within Peru’s protected areas ...

INTRODUCTION Wildlife is an important source of protein for many people in developing countries. Yet wildlife depletion due to overexploitation is common throughout the humid tropics and its effect on protein security, especially for vulnerable households, is poorly understood. This is problematic for both sustainable rural development and conservation management. METHODS This study investiga...
