Abstract. Lead–lag correlations between the subsurface temperature and salinity anomalies in Bay of Bengal (BoB) Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are revealed model results, ocean synthesis, observations. Mechanisms for such further investigated using Hamburg Shelf Model (HAMSOM), mainly relating to variability. It is found that anomaly BoB positively correlates IOD, with a lag 3 months on average, wh...

We use isotopic composition (δD) data from six sites in Princess Elizabeth Land (PEL) in order to reconstruct air temperature variability in this sector of East Antarctica over the last 350 years. First, we use the present-day instrumental mean annual surface air temperature data to demonstrate that the studied region (between Russia’s Progress, Vostok and Mirny research stations) is characteri...

OBJECTIVE The expression and distribution of a subtype of purine receptors (P2Y2) in the terminal rectum of fetal rats with anorectal malformations (ARM) were examined to investigate their possible impact on the development of the enteric nervous system (ENS). METHODS Pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (5 rats) and an experimental group (20 rats). The expe...

BACKGROUND Type IV collagen (ColIV) is the most important scaffold for the basement membrane (BM) proteins, and plays an important role in regulating and limiting tumour invasion and metastasis. METHODS Here, we observed the changes in morphology and distribution of type IV collagen (ColIV) in the basement membrane (BM) surrounding nests of carcinoma in 48 patients with oral tongue squamous c...

Background: Synovial biopsies are used to study synovial immunopathology and are increasingly applied for the evaluation of new therapeutic strategies in chronic arthritis. Therefore, it is essential to be informed on the complete spectrum of synovial immunopathology. Objective: To describe the cellular content, cytokine and cell adhesion molecule expression in synovial tissue from clinically a...

We present the first chip-scale "integrated optical driver" (IOD) that can interrogate with a sensing coil to realize an interferometric optical gyroscope. The chip comprises a light source, three photodiodes, two phase modulators and two 3-dB couplers within an area of 4.5 mm2. This allows for a significant reduction in size, weight, power consumption and cost of optical gyroscopes.

The Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) plays a vital role in the livelihoods and economy of those living on subcontinent, including small, mountainous country Bhutan. ISM fluctuates over varying temporal scales its variability is related to many internal external factors El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Ocean Dipole (IOD). In 2015, Super occurred tropical Pacific alongside positive IOD was followed...

Abstract Indian Ocean Dipole phenomenon (IOD) refers to a dominant zonal contrast pattern of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) over tropical (TIO) on interannual time scales. Its positive phase, characterized by anomalously warm western TIO and cold southeastern TIO, is usually stronger than its negative namely positively skewed IOD. Here, we investigate causes for the IOD asymmetry using ...
