Abstract:
... The energy transition process fosters decentralized renewable energy generation and is characterized by an increased effort to achieve energy autarky. In this context, residential-size, photovoltaic-based multi-carrier energy systems using hydrogen as seasonal storage are analyzed as a possible solution to gain energy autarky. A high temporal (15 min) and long-term (10 a) power flow simulation app ...

Abstract:
... The integration of life-history, physiological and behavioural traits into the pace-of-life generates a powerful framework to understand trait variation in nature both along environmental gradients and in response to environmental stressors. While the gut microbiome has been hypothesized as a candidate mechanism to underlie differentiation in the pace-of-life, this has been rarely studied. We inve ...
... The role of possible controlling factors in influencing the geomorphology of submarine canyons has been investigated using a database of 282 globally distributed modern examples collated from the literature and open-source worldwide bathymetry. Canyon geomorphology has been characterised quantitatively in terms of maximum and average canyon dimensions, canyon sinuosity, average canyon thalweg grad ...
... In this paper, we explore the logics underlying the policies and practices within K-12 schools, colleges, and universities that expose students to carceral systems, such as the police and prisons. Educational institutions at all levels have had the latitude to develop the capacity to discipline, surveil, and control students, which reproduce carceral logics within as well as create pathways to car ...
... Interaction between synoptic eddy and mean flow plays a crucial role in maintaining midlatitude westerly jet. In this study, climatologies of synoptic eddy activities and their feedback onto midlatitude jet for 1980–2016 are evaluated and compared through analyzing daily data from five atmospheric reanalyses with different resolutions including one coarse-resolution reanalysis (NCEP2) and four fin ...
... The study revealed that amongst all parameters, longitude, latitude, elevation and habitat revealed maximum correlation with distribution of earthworms. The methodology used is the first report of application of heatmap and correlation in ecological distribution of earthworms. ...

Abstract:
... Vitamin D is essential for good health. Dermal vitamin D production is dependent on environmental factors such as season and latitude, and personal factors such as time spent outdoors and genetics. Varying heritability of vitamin D status by season has been reported, suggesting that gene-environment interactions (GxE) may play a key role. Thus, understanding GxE might significantly improve our und ...
... ICEEMDAN, a variant of Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), is used to extract temperature cycles with periods from half a year to multiple decades from the HadCRUT5 global temperature anomaly data. The residual indicates an overall warming trend. The analysis is repeated for the Southern and Northern Hemispheres as well as the Tropics, defined as areas lying at or below 30 degrees of latitude. Mul ...

Abstract:
... Outdoor thermal comfort has been studied globally in recent years to understand thermal perceptions of the local people. It was usually indicated by neutral temperature (NT). However, the findings of studies vary slightly for different areas, a factor which is rarely considered. This article reviewed the results (NTs) of some previous studies with the aim to find the causes of their differences. T ...
... Colombia’s lightning climatology was studied using 16 years of high-resolution data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Lightning Imaging Sensor (TRMM LIS). The findings present the climatology of the country organized in two ways: where lightning occurs and when lightning occurs. The authors sorted data using Colombia’s six natural regions and conditional mean values for day, month, quar ...

Abstract:
... Nests are essential constructions that determine fitness, yet their structure can vary substantially across bird species. While there is evidence supporting a link between nest architecture and the habitat a species occupies, we still ignore what ecological and evolutionary processes are linked to different nest types. Using information on 3175 species of songbirds, we show that—after controlling ...
... Data on age and growth of fishes is critical for effective management; however, growth rates documented in one location may not be representative of other locations, especially for species that occur across wide geographic ranges. Sebastes maliger, quillback rockfish, occur across a broad latitudinal range, but their growth patterns have been quantified only in the southern part of their range. To ...
... Mare Fecunditatis is a ~310,000 km² flat basalt plain located in the low-latitude area of the Moon. Plenty of volcanic features (multiple episodes of mare basalts, sinuous rilles, lava tubes, pyroclastic deposits, domes, irregular mare patches (IMP), ring-moat dome structures (RMDS), floor-fractured craters), tectonic features (grabens and wrinkle ridges), impact-related features, and other featur ...

Abstract:
... Multireceiver and multifrequency radar imaging were carried out with the 46.5 MHz MU radar in Japan (34.85°N and 136.10°E) to examine the aspect sensitivity of field-aligned plasma irregularities (FAIs) in the mid-latitude ionosphere E region. A radar beam was directed to geographic north and at 51° zenith angle, which was normal to the geomagnetic field line around 100 km height. Nineteen receive ...

Abstract:
... Gamma-Flash is an Italian program devoted to the realization of both a ground-based and an airborne gamma-ray and neutron detection system, for in situ measurements of high-energy phenomena correlated to thunderstorm activity, such as Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs), gamma-ray glows, and associated neutron emissions. The ground-based Gamma-Flash experiment is currently under installation at t ...

Abstract:
... The drivers of variability in species range sizes remain an outstanding enigma in ecology. The theoretical expectation of a positive dispersal‐range size relationship has received mixed empirical support, despite dispersal being one of the most prominent hypothesised predictors of range size. Here, we synthesised results from 86 studies examining the dispersal‐range size relationship for plants an ...

Abstract:
... Photic history, including the relative duration of day versus night in a 24-hour cycle, is known to influence subsequent circadian responses to light in mammals. Whether such modulation is present in Drosophila is currently unknown. To date, all photic phase-response curves (PRCs) generated from Drosophila have done so with animals housed under seasonally agnostic equatorial photoperiods with alte ...

Abstract:
... The pressure-gradient current is among the weaker ionospheric current systems arising from plasma pressure variations. It is also called diamagnetic current because it produces a magnetic field which is oriented oppositely to the ambient magnetic field, causing its reduction. The magnetic reduction can be revealed in measurements made by low-Earth orbiting satellites flying close to ionospheric pl ...
... Atmospheric transient eddy dynamical forcing (TEDF)-driven midlatitude unstable air–sea interaction has recently been recognized as a crucial positive feedback for the maintenance of the extratropical decadal variabilities. Our recent theoretical work (Chen et al., Clim Dyn https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-020-05405-0 , 2020) has characterized such an interaction through building an analytical midla ...
