Color superconductivity of QCD at finite density, temperature and flavor asymmetry is studied within an approximation which the interaction is modeled upon four–fermion interactions. We calculate the thermodynamic potential in the socalled NJL-type model and study the phase structure at finite density, temperature and flavor asymmetry. We find that a mixed phase appears at sufficiently large fl...

Spatially continuous satellite infrared temperature measurements are essential for understanding the consequences and drivers of change, at local and regional scales, especially in northern and alpine environments dominated by a complex cryosphere where in situ observations are scarce. We describe two methods for producing daily temperature fields using MODIS ―clear-sky‖ day-time Land Surface T...

rangelands are one of the most vulnerable parts concerning the climatechanges‟ impacts. these impacts are even stronger in the arid and semi-arid areas whererangeland ecosystems are in critical conditions. therefore, it is crucial to figure out theactual dynamics of climate variations on the rangelands. the aim of this research was todetermine climate changes in khabr rangeland, kerman, iran. s...

BACKGROUND Weather is a potentially important determinant of physical activity. Little work has been done examining the relationship between weather and physical activity, and potential modifiers of any relationship in older people. We therefore examined the relationship between weather and physical activity in a cohort of older community-dwelling people. METHODS We analysed prospectively col...

Extreme heat events (EHEs) are linked to mortality rates, making them an important research subject in both the climate and public health fields. This study evaluated linear trends in EHEs using the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN), version 2.0, dataset and quantified the longer-term EHE trends across the continental United States (CONUS). The USHCN-daily, version 1, dataset was inte...

A homogeneous convex centrosymmetric body with constant thermal properties is initially at temperature zero and its boundary is maintained at a temperature Tb > 0. Prove or disprove that at any time t > 0, the point of minimum temperature is the center. Also, prove or disprove that the isothermal surfaces are convex and centrosymmetric. Note that the convexity of the isothermal surfaces will im...
