We use yearlong vertical temperature profile time-series (seven thermistors at evenly spaced depth intervals from 10 to 70 cm) five sites in and around the Deep Hole thermal area, southeast of Stevenson Island, Yellowstone Lake, investigate heat mass fluxes across lake floor. The records demonstrate that gradients surficial sediments are modulated by a rich spectrum bottom water variations gene...

Abstract. Urbanisation is an ever-evolving, complicated continuous process distinct from its surroundings, having the tendency to create a micro-scale system with characteristic local environmental conditions. Large-scale urbanization near coasts has definite impact on coastal processes due dynamic interactions of waters urban atmospheric, hydrological and anthropogenic residues. This study foc...

germination is series of biochemical reactions that depends mainly on temperature and moisture. therefore, seed germination rate of lemon balm (mellissa officinalis l.) were evaluated in temperatures of 20, 23, 25,27, 30 and 32ºc and water potentials of 0, -0.2, -0.4, -0.6 and -0.8mpa. according to the results, germination temperature window was not very wide in a way that germination temperatu...

abstarct development of greenhouse gases in future periods not only causes change in average amounts of climate variables but also makes variables of this variability affected. then for sure concerning alternations followed with climate variables’ fluctuations and its average amounts in effecting on runoff would make more reliable results. in this inquiry initially fluctuations and average amou...

injection molding is one of the most common processes which are used for manufacturing different plastic parts. this method includes 3 continuous steps: filling of the mold, cooling and driving the part out. a wide range of plastic and non-plastic materials can be used as raw material in this process. one of the most important advantages of this way of production is that it is very economic. in...

the antioxidant properties of ruta graveolens l. were evaluated by two different methods; free radical scavenging using dpph and inhibition of lipid peroxidation by the ferric thiocyanate method. the ic50 value of the methanol extract in dpph inhibition was 200.5 μg/ml which was acceptable in comparison with bht (41.8 μg/ml). in thiocyanate method, the plant extract demonstrated activity as muc...

BACKGROUND Climate change has increased the days of unseasonal temperature. Although many studies have examined the association between temperature and mortality, few have examined the timing of exposure where whether this association varies depending on the exposure month even at the same temperature. Therefore, we investigated monthly differences in the effects of temperature on mortality in ...
