Abstract The study is conducted to examine the climate change impact on rice Crop Water Requirement (CWR) and Net Irrigation (NIR) using NASA Earth Exchange Global Daily Downscaled Projection (NEX-GDDP) coupled with CROPWAT 8.0 model. maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum (Tmin), rainfall projections for baseline (years 1981–2015) future 2030 2040) under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP)...

introduction safflower is an annual, broad leaf oil seed crop of the family compositae adapted chiefly to dry land. safflower is originally a cold season and long day crop. it is believed to have originated in southern asia and is known to have been cultivated in china, india, iran and egypt almost from prehistoric times. during the middle ages, it was cultivated in italy, france and spain and ...

Abstract. Volcanic eruptions have a significant impact on global temperature; their consequences are of particular interest in regions that especially sensitive to climate change, like the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we develop temperature-sensitive tree-ring-width standard chronology covering period 1348–2014 CE using Qilian juniper (Sabina przewalskii (Kom.)) samples collected from Animaq...

The binary phase diagram CaF2–SrF2 was investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). Both substances show unlimited mutual solubility. An azeotropic point showing a minimum melting temperature of Tmin = 1373 C for the composition Ca0.582Sr0.418F2. Close to this composition, homogeneous single crystals up to 30mm diameter without remarkable segregation could be grown by the Czochralski me...

Various combinations of interventions were used to phase-delay circadian rhythms to correct their misalignment with night work and day sleep. Young participants (median age = 22, n = 67) participated in 5 consecutive simulated night shifts (2300 to 0700) and then slept at home (0830 to 1530) in darkened bedrooms. Participants wore sunglasses with normal or dark lenses (transmission 15% or 2%) w...

Observations show that the surface diurnal temperature range (DTR) has decreased since 1950s over most global land areas due to a smaller warming in maximum temperatures (Tmax) than in minimum temperatures (Tmin). This paper analyzes the trends and variability in Tmax, Tmin, and DTR over land in observations and 48 simulations from 12 global coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models f...

Agricultural research increasingly is expected to provide precise, quantitative information with an explicit geographic coverage. Limited availability of daily meteorological records often constrains efforts to provide such information through use of simulation models, spatial analysis, and related decision support tools. The Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources (NASA/POWER) project at the ...

Abstract Using the daily 2 m maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum (Tmin) and cloud cover data measured at ground sites of China Meteorological Administration in North from 2000 to 2017, this study investigates influence clouds on range (DTR) defined as difference between Tmax Tmin. As expected, shows similar averaged spatial distribution monthly variation with Surprisingly, it also average Tmax,...

This study evaluates General Circulation Models (GCMs) participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) for their ability simulating historical means and extremes of daily precipitation (P), maximum (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin). are evaluated against hybrid observations at 2255 sub-basins across Alberta, Canada using established statistical metrics 1983–2014 peri...

The objective of this study was to examine interactions between climatic factors, parity, and weaning-to-first-mating interval (WMI) for total number of pigs born at subsequent parity (TPB) of female pigs serviced during 2 seasons. The present study analyzed records of 27,739 gilts and 127,670 parity records of sows in 95 Japanese herds; the records included females that were serviced between J...
