The present paper examines the adsorption of water by microporous carbons containing various amounts of surface oxygen an a smaller proportion of basic centres. The modelling of water adsorption for 293 and 310 K, using variable pore size distribution (PSD), confirms that the overall type IV isotherm is the sum of a type I isotherm associated with the specific interactions, and a typ V isotherm...

Surface temperature anomalies associated with geothermal activity at Bradys Hot Springs, Churchill County, Nevada were mapped using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared (TIR) image data. In order to highlight subsurface contributions of geothermal heat, the ASTER images were processed to minimize temperature variations caused by the diurnal hea...

Marine sediments from the Chilean continental margin are used to infer millennial-scale changes in southeast Pacific surface ocean water properties and Patagonian ice sheet extent since the last glacial period. Our data show a clear "Antarctic" timing of sea surface temperature changes, which appear systematically linked to meridional displacements in sea ice, westerly winds, and the circumpola...

This article addresses the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Casson fluid over a nonlinearly permeable stretching surface with chemical reaction in the presence of variable magnetic field. The effect of thermal radiation is considered to control the rate of heat transfer at the surface. Using similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations of this problem are red...

Aim of study: Harvesting proposals (e.g. variable retention) for Nothofagus pumilio forests are based on canopy opening, to increase recruitment and enhance seedling growth, by modifying light and soil moisture. Seed production and seedling recruitment will define the success of harvesting, where remnant forest structure are the main influence factors, as well as biotic and abiotic factors. The...

In order to enhance heat transfer between primary surface and the environment, radiating extended surfaces are commonly utilized. Especially in the case of large temperature differences, variable thermal conductivity has a strong effect on performance of such a surface. In this paper, variational iteration method is used to analyze convective straight and radial fins with temperature-dependent ...

5 An approach to climate change feedback analysis is described in which tropospheric relative 6 humidity replaces specific humidity as the state variable that, along with the temperature 7 structure, surface albedos and clouds, controls the magnitude of the response of global mean 8 surface temperature to a radiative forcing. Despite being simply a regrouping of terms 9 in the feedback analysis...
