A discrete warming event (December 21, 2001–January 12, 2002) in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, enhanced glacier melt, stream flow, and melting of permafrost. Effects of this warming included a rapid rise in lake levels and widespread increases in soil water availability resulting from melting of subsurface ice. These increases in liquid water offset hydrologic responses to a cooling tren...

In this study, a novel sizing methodology was developed for centralized and interconnected operating strategies of transactive microgrids several variables were investigated including starting month, initial charge battery, load variability, unit cost solar panels energy storage, number systems, climate, required reliability to determine their effect on total cost. The strategy improved by seve...

dust storms are catastrophic natural disasters that beside other disasters frequency occur in the arid and semiaridregions worldwide. drought occurrence, climate aridity, dryness of the hamoun lake cause strong winds to below.these conditions have been prepared for dust storms in sistan region. the damages to sistan society have beenmeasured using different criteria. the result shows that, peak...

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key input for many land surface models, ecological models, and yield prediction models. In order to make the model simulation and/or prediction more reliable and applicable, it is crucial to know the characteristics and uncertainties of remotely sensed LAI products before they are input into models. In this study, we conducted a comparison of four global remotely sens...

This study was carried out to investigate the egg production performance and egg quality characteristics of the indigenous ‎chickens reared in rural areas of two different climates of Isfahan province. Totally, 2160 indigenous chickens were studied in ‎this research. Two dominant climatic regions (cold and ‎hot) were determined for Isfahan province. In each climate, two towns and three villages...

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...

In order to evaluate the effects of sowing date and intra rows spacing on yield, yield components and some phytochemical characteristics in Roselle, a field experiment was conducted as a split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013 and 2014 growing seasons. Five sowing dates were considered as the main plots (11th and 30th of March, 14th of April, ...

Vapor-dominated geothermal systems are proposed to originate by downward extension (by the "heat pipe" mechanism) into hot dry fractured rock above a large cooling igneous intrusion. High temperature zones found by drilling are shallow parts of the original hot dry rock where the penetration of the vapor reservoir was limited, and hot dry rock may extend under much of these reservoirs. An earli...
