This study evaluates General Circulation Models (GCMs) participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for their ability simulating historical means and extremes of daily precipitation (P), maximum (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin). are evaluated against hybrid observations at 2255 sub-basins across Alberta, Canada using established statistical metrics 1983–2014 peri...

In this study, we report on the pulsed metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of InN as well as the optical and electronic properties of the films as a function of V/III ratio and growth temperatures. The growth of InN films was conducted utilizing a vertical reactor with TMIn and NH3 as the Inand Nprecursors, respectively. Metallic droplet-free InN films were achieved on GaN/sapphire templat...

Previously, general random-search algorithms were considered [2], [6] for minimum distance (MD) decoding, which finds the codeword(s) c ∈ C with the minimum Hamming distance d(c, a) to the received vector a. Then the following results are used to reduce the complexity of MD decoding. Evseev has proved [5] that for any linear code C the decoding error probability of MD decoding is at most double...

[1] This paper analyzes and attributes spatial and temporal patterns of changes in the diurnal cycle of land surface air temperature in 20 simulations from 11 global coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models during the 20th century and the 21st century under the SRES A1B scenario. Most of the warming in the maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) temperatures from 1900 to 2099 is attributed...

Coffee is the world’s most valuable tropical export crop. Recent studies predict severe climate change impacts on Coffea arabica (C. arabica) production. However, quantitative production figures are necessary to provide coffee stakeholders and policy makers with evidence to justify immediate action. Using data from the northern Tanzanian highlands, we demonstrate for the first time that increas...

Atmospheric reanalysis products offer high-resolution and long-term gridded datasets that can often be used as an alternative or a supplement to observational data. Although more accessible than typical data deemed fit for climate change studies, show biases resulting from assimilation approaches. Thus, thorough evaluation of the product over region metric study is critical. Here, we evaluate p...

The primary objective of the paper was to characterize climatic conditions in winter season Poland years 1966/67–2019/20. study based on daily values minimum (Tmin) and maximum air temperature (Tmax), snow cover depth. showed an increase both Tmin Tmax winter. most intensive changes were recorded north-eastern northern regions. coldest winters first half analyzed multiannual period, exceptional...

The extreme temperature has more outstanding impact on ecology and water resources in arid regions than the average temperature. Using downscaled daily data from 21 Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP) models of NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX-GDDP) observation data, this paper analyzed changes temporal spatiotemporal variation extremes, i.e., maximum (Tmax...

We describe DysToPic, a theorem prover for the preferential Description Logic ALC + Tmin.This is a nonmonotonic extension of standard ALC based on a typicality operator T, which enjoys a preferential semantics. DysToPic is a multi-engine Prolog implementation of a labelled, two-phase tableaux calculus for ALC + Tmin whose basic idea is that of performing these two phases by different machines. ...

1. To determine whether variation in kidney morphology is associated with environmental aridity in South American hystricognaths, we used conventional and phylogenetic analysis (independent contrasts) to correlate mass-independent renal variables (kidney size; relative medullar thickness, RMT; medulla/cortex ratio, MC; inner medulla/ cortex ratio, MIC; relative medullar area, RMA) with environm...
