Using a shape model (SM) is typical method to determine the phenological phases of crops with long-time-series satellite remote sensing data. The average AGDD-based (AAGDD-SM) takes temperature into account compared SM, however, commonly used daily not sufficient exact AGDD owing possibly significant changes in temperatures throughout day. In this paper, modified was proposed for better estimat...

Abstract Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. Here we show the impact on cooling demand in moving from 2.0 warming. African countries have highest increase requirements. Switzerland, United Kingdom and Norway (traditionally unprepared for heat) will suffer largest relative surges. Immediate unprecedented adaptation interventions are required worldwide be...

The aim of this study was to investigate the climate change impacts on some factors affecting rainfed wheat growth such as effective rainfall, planting date and length of growing season in four stations located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Firstly, it is necessary to predict future (2046-2065) climatic conditions. For this purpose, the output of HADCM3 general circulation model was us...

To examine the alterations of intracellular Ca2' ([Ca2"]i)-handling mechanisms in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of rat aorta (Shin et al Circ Res 1991;69:551-556), we stimulated VSMCs by extracellular high K', caffeine, and angiotensin II and evaluated Ca2' influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release, and inositol trisphosphate-dependent Ca2+ releas...
