Seasonal variations of human thermal characteristics were inspected in thermal comfort and when constantly indoors. Metabolic rate, tympanic temperature, skin temperature, body fat, body weight and thermal sensation were measured under identical thermal conditions in a chamber over the course of one year. Experiments were carried out for each subject in both summer and winter. Six subjects were...

The stream buffer is the region immediately be yond the banks of a stream that serves to limit the entrance of sediment, pollutants, and nutrients to the stream itself. When forested, a stream buffer promotes bank stability and serves as a major control of water temperature (Leopold, 1997). From a biological perspective, the importance of a healthy, intact riparian zone has only been understood...

The homodimeric tetracycline repressor (TetR) regulates resistance to the antibiotic tetracycline at the transcriptional level. TetR binds in the absence of Tc to palindromic operator sequences utilizing two helix-turn-helix (HTH) motifs. If the tetracycline-Mg2+ complex [MgTc]+ enters two identical binding tunnels buried within the TetR homodimer, a conformational change takes place, and the i...

We present observations of recurrent active region coronal jets and derive their thermal non-thermal properties, by studying the physical properties plasma simultaneously at base footpoint, along outflow jets. The sample analyzed solar were observed SDO-AIA in Extreme Ultraviolet RHESSI X-Ray domain. main parameters: temperature, density, energy flux contributions, etc. are calculated using mul...

many investigations have demonstrated that arid regions display ideal conditions for remote sensing applications such as, land cover/land use detection. the aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of thematic mapper (tm) thermal band in land cover/land use mapping in the ardakan region of yazd province, an area of desert with severe salinity conditions, and the mook region in the f...
