Projections of global mean temperature changes (ΔT) in the future are associated with intrinsic uncertainties. Much climate policy discourse has been guided by "current knowledge" of the ΔTs uncertainty, ignoring the likely future reductions of the uncertainty, because a mechanism for predicting these reductions is lacking. By using simulations of Global Climate Models from the Coupled Model In...

The product of the retinoblastoma (Rb) susceptibility gene ( RB-1 ) regulates expression of a variety of growth control genes via discrete promoter elements termed retinoblastoma control elements (RCEs). We have previously shown that RCEs are bound and regulated by a common set of ubiquitously expressed nuclear proteins of 115, 95 and 80 kDa, termed retinoblastoma control proteins (RCPs). We ha...

Arctic glaciers and ice caps are major contributors to past, present and future sea-level fluctuations. Continued global warming may eventually lead to the equilibrium line altitudes of these ice masses rising above their highest points, triggering unstoppable downwasting. This may feed future sea-level rise considerably. We here present projections for the timing of equilibrium-line loss at th...

Chromosomal anomalies, like Robertsonian and reciprocal translocations, represent a big problem in cattle breeding as their presence induces, in the carrier subjects, a well-documented fertility reduction. In cattle, reciprocal translocations (RCPs, a chromosome abnormality caused by an exchange of material between non-homologous chromosomes) are considered rare as to date only 19 reciprocal tr...

Forest conservation strategies and plans can be unsuccessful if the new habitat conditions determined by climate change are not considered. Our work aims at investigating the likelihood of future suitability, distribution and diversity for some common European forest species under the projected changes in climate, focusing on Southern Europe. We combine an Ensemble Platform for Species Distribu...

This article addresses weaknesses in critical policy studies (CPS), by proposing we move toward adopting radical (RCPS) theory and empirical methodological approaches. moves away from the euro-centric colonized/colonizer dichotomy, decentering whiteness/white gaze situates racialized personhood at center of decolonizing knowledge production. RCPS’ intervention forces academics/researchers to be...

3D point cloud registration is fragile to outliers, which are labeled as the points without corresponding points. To handle this problem, a widely adopted strategy estimate relative pose based only on some accurate correspondences, achieved by building correspondences identified inliers or selecting reliable ones. However, these approaches usually complicated and time-consuming. By contrast, vi...

Global warming induces to increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and plays a crucial role determining future trend climatology hydrology watershed. This paper aims investigate implications global on climate its consequents streamflow Adhaim River Basin (ARB). For this purpose, Long Ashton Research Station-Weather Generator (LARS-WG) Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)-Based models were im...

Extreme temperature events, which are part of global climate change, a growing threat to crop production, especially such temperature-sensitive crops as rice. As result, the traditional rice-growing areas also likely shift. The MaxEnt model was used for predicting potentially suitable rice in short term (2016–2035) and medium (2046–2065) under two scenarios developed by Intergovernmental Panel ...
