INTRODUCTION We previously presented an investigation on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and temperature elevation using Japanese anatomical human models for body-worn usage at 900, 1950, and 3500 MHz [1]. The results showed that there was a difference in the 10g average SAR between the male and the female models, but the temperature elevation was almost the same at 900 and 1950 MHz and vice...

Various workers have shown an elevation in serum lipids and lipoproteins associated with atherosclerosis in man. High cholesterol, high fatty acids, increased cholesterol/phospholipid ratio and elevation in lipoprotein fractions have all been shown to be associated with the presence of atheroma (Certler, Cam and Lerman, 1950; Cofman et al, 1950; Barr, Russ and Eder, 1951; Nikkila, 1953). At the...

Recent observations of rising snow lines and reduced snow-covered areas on glaciers during the October 2020–January 2021 period in Nepal–China region Mount Everest Landsat Sentinel imagery highlight that significant ablation has occurred recent years many Himalayan post-monsoon early winter periods. For first time, we now have weather stations providing real-time data may sufficiently transect ...

Trends in streamflow timing and volume in the Pacific Northwest United States have been attributed to increased temperatures, because trends in precipitation at lower-elevation stations were negligible. We demonstrate that observed streamflow declines are probably associated with declines in mountain precipitation, revealing previously unexplored differential trends. Lower-troposphere winter (N...

Anthropogenic forcings have contributed to global and regional warming in the last few decades and likely affected terrestrial precipitation. Here we examine changes in major Köppen climate classes from gridded observed data and their uncertainties due to internal climate variability using control simulations from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5). About 5.7% of the global total l...

Abstract This study analyzes the long‐term observed changes of mean (Tmean), maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) air temperatures, relative humidity (RH) vapour pressure deficit (VPD) at different elevation ranges across Bolivia from 1950 to 2019. The linear trends in temperature series present a significant increase, with no substantial seasonal or spatial differences. On an annual basis, RH exh...

Naturforsch. 40c, 599—605 (1985); received May 6, 1985 Epicuticular Waxes, Alpine Plants, Ecophysiology, Relation to Altitude, Ultrastructure Epicuticular waxes were extracted and analysed from leaves of 7 different high alpine plant species, with 3 species harvested at different altitudes: Salix herbacea (1950 m, ...

Two species of corophiine amphipods from Songkhla Lake, in the lower Gulf of Thailand, are described and illustrated. Chelicorophiummadrasensis (Nayar, 1950), found in the mangrove forest, has not previously been observed in Thai waters. Paracorophiumangsupanichae sp. n. is characterized by its chelate male gnathopod 2, obtuse palm with subrectangular distomedial elevation, and urosomites 1-3 f...

This paper discusses the preliminary results of archaeological surveys conducted in Juuku Region north-central Kyrgyzstan on south side Lake Issyk-Kul. Our goal was to document ancient and contemporary agropastoral systems over a four-millennia period. During surveys, about 350 loci were identified as settlements, burial mounds, graves, single artifact finds, scatters (ceramic). The areas Valle...
