the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of evaporative media as gas turbine intake air cooling method on pressure drop of cartridge air filters. this study performed under the laboratory condition, using stainless steel test rig with specified dimensions to investigate the role of evaporative media in air cooling as well as its effects on new and used cartridge filters (as representati...

The geometry of foreland basins is controlled by a dynamic balance between thrust-belt migration, fl exural subsidence, and fl uvial deposition. To improve our ability to quantify the relationships between tectonics, climate, and foreland basin geometry, I developed analytic solutions for basin topography and stratigraphy using a classic two-dimensional mathematical model of foreland basin evol...

In the mild and humid climate of northwestern Europe, fungal pre-harvest rots are a major factor limiting the production of soft-fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. By far the most important fungal disease is grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr., now known to be an aggregate of at least two distinct species (Fournier et al., 2005; Giraud et al., 1999). Primary infections are...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Across their range, widely distributed species are exposed to a variety of climatic and other environmental conditions, and accordingly may display variation in life history strategies. For seed germination in cold climates, two contrasting responses to variation in winter temperature have been documented: first, an increased ability to germinate at low temperatures (cold to...

Application of ointments to the face is one of many measures used to avoid frostbite of the head in cold climates. A recent epidemiological study indicated, however, that the use of ointments in the cold may be a considerable risk factor in development of frostbite of the face and ears. A questionnaire on the use of protective ointments was completed by 830 young male conscripts divided into 4 ...

A suite of ice-rafted dropstones and glendonites throughout the Permian succession of eastern Australia indicates the cold climate associated with the late Paleozoic ice age persisted longest in this part of Gondwana. Paradoxically, these cold climate indicators are preserved in transgressive and highstand facies and formed at mid to high latitudes at a time when paleofloral and sedimentologica...

Introduction: Regarding the association between climate, seasons and myocardial infarction, a cross-sectional study was carried out in Shiraz and Bandar Abbas in Iran. Methods: All patients with diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction living in Shiraz and Bandar Abbas were included in the study during 2011-2013. Demographic data were extracted from the patients’ hospital records. Data w...

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has emerged as a major global challenge since 2019. With the fast rise in infected cases and deaths worldwide, many environmental climate-related myths fallacies spreaded fast. These include virus cannot spread hot humid conditions, cold weather can inhibit virus, drinking water sunlight help cure COVID-19, ultraviolet (UV) disinfectant lamps UV rays from kill use...
