Abstract:
... The subtribe Iochrominae (Solanaceae) is represented in Brazil by two species, both with broad morphological variation. No study focusing on this subtribe has been published for the country to date. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a taxonomic treatment for the Iochrominae occurring in Brazil. Iochroma arborescens is widely distributed across eastern Brazil, with a few collections re ...

Abstract:
... Whether the tree growth–climate relationship is consistent in subtropical China has not yet been reported. To fill this gap, we chose Pinus taiwanensis which grow on Lushan Mountain in a subtropical region of China as the target tree species, established a standard tree-ring width chronology, and conducted a moving correlation analysis with climatic factors. The results showed that the relationshi ...

Abstract:
... Climate-adaptive aerogel materials and resilient condition-dependent thermophysical properties with stochastic uncertainty can enhance the reliability and robustness of aerogel glazings, whereas multidimensional optimal design is highly dependent on stochastic uncertainty magnitude and sampling size, leading to ineffectiveness or inefficiency of traditional physics-based models. Furthermore, given ...

Abstract:
... In their thoughtful paper entitled “An equable subtropical climate throughout China in the Miocene based on palaeofloral evidence”, Qing Wang, Yan Li, David K. Ferguson, Wen-Bo Mo, and Nan Yang (2021) imply that China exhibited negligible latitudinal mean annual precipitation (MAP) gradients and lacked arid regions during the Miocene. They also speculate that there was no abrupt change in elevatio ...
