A representation of atmospheric chemistry has been included in the Integrated Forecasting System (IFS) of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The new chemistry modules complement the aerosol modules of the IFS for atmospheric composition, which is named C-IFS. C-IFS for chemistry supersedes a coupled system in which chemical transport model (CTM) Model for OZone and ...

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a major crop world-wide and the productivity of currently used cultivars is strongly reduced at high soil salt levels. We compared the response of six potato cultivars to increased root NaCl concentrations. Cuttings were grown hydroponically and treated with 0 mM, 60 mM and 180 mM NaCl for one week. Growth reduction on salt was strongest for the cultivars Mozart an...

Müzik birtakım duygu ve düşünceleri belli kurallar çerçevesinde uyumlu seslerle anlatma sanatıdır. Müziğin canlılar üzerindeki etkisinin sadece duygudurumlarında değişiklik yaratmak ya da sanatsal haz vermekle sınırlı olmadığı; aynı zamanda bir takım rahatsızlıklara iyi gelebileceği düşünülmüştür. Bu düşünce bazı araştırmacıları müziğin deney hayvanları insanlar etkilerini incelemeye yöneltmişt...

Distributed packet scheduling in a wireless network is non-trivial due to lack of knowledge of which node has packets to transmit. This paper describes and evaluates Mozart, a new and practical approach that encourages collisions rather than trying to avoid them. Upon receiving multiple collided packets, the receiver carefully selects the retransmitters, so that all the packets can be recovered...

The present study examines coviewing of Baby Mozart by 6to 18-monthold infants and their caregivers under naturalistic conditions. We had two questions. First, extending the method of Barr, Zack, Garcia, and Muentener (Infancy, 13 [2008], 30–56) to a younger population, we asked if age, prior exposure, and caregiver verbal input would predict infant looking to a Baby Mozart video from 6 to 18 m...

We explore a possibility that the 'Mozart effect' points to a fundamental cognitive function of music. Would such an effect of music be due to the hedonicity, a fundamental dimension of mental experience? The present paper explores a recent hypothesis that music helps to tolerate cognitive dissonances and thus enabled accumulation of knowledge and human cultural evolution. We studied whether th...
