Spatio-Temporal Variation of Extreme Heat Events in Southeastern Europe
Atmosphere, 2022 Many studies in the last few years have been dedicated to the increasing temperatures and extreme heat in Europe since the second half of the 20th century because of their adverse effects on ecosystems resilience, human health, and quality of life.

The cosmic ray positron excess and neutralino dark matter [PDF]
, 2001 Using a new instrument, the HEAT collaboration has confirmed the excess of cosmic ray positrons that they first detected in 1994. We explore the possibility that this excess is due to the annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the galactic halo.

Tidally Heated Terrestrial Exoplanets: Viscoelastic Response Models [PDF]
, 2009 Tidal friction in exoplanet systems, driven by orbits that allow for durable nonzero eccentricities at short heliocentric periods, can generate internal heating far in excess of the conditions observed in our own solar system.

Multi-Component Dark Matter [PDF]
, 2008 We explore multi-component dark matter models where the dark sector consists of multiple stable states with different mass scales, and dark forces coupling these states further enrich the dynamics.

Galactic secondary positron flux at the Earth [PDF]
, 2009 Secondary positrons are produced by spallation of cosmic rays within the interstellar gas. Measurements have been typically expressed in terms of the positron fraction, which exhibits an increase above 10 GeV. Many scenarios have been proposed to explain

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 Reliable simulation of turbulent heat fluxes needed for modeling land‐atmosphere interactions remains a challenge over the humid tropical region. This may be connected with the inadequate parameterization of the roughness lengths for momentum (z0m) and ...

On the variability and increasing trends of heat waves over India [PDF]
, 2016 Over India, heat waves occur during the summer months of April to June. A gridded daily temperature data set for the period, 1961–2013 has been analyzed to examine the variability and trends in heat waves over India.

Heatwave and work-related injuries and illnesses in Adelaide, Australia: a case-crossover analysis using the Excess Heat Factor (EHF) as a universal heatwave index [PDF]
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2018 Heatwaves, or extended periods of extreme heat, are predicted to increase in frequency, intensity and duration with climate change, but their impact on occupational injury has not been extensively studied. We examined the relationship between heatwaves of varying severity and work-related injuries and illnesses.

Urban-rural air humidity differences in Szeged, Hungary [PDF]
, 1999 Measurements of vapour pressure, taken four times a day over a 3-year period, were used to investigate the urban influence on diurnal and annual patterns of vapour pressure differences. The examined settlement is a medium-sized city without significant

Characterising the impact of heatwaves on work-related injuries and illnesses in three Australian cities using a standard heatwave definition- Excess Heat Factor (EHF) [PDF]
Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2019 Heatwaves have potential health and safety implications for many workers, and heatwaves are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity with climate change. There is currently a lack of comparative evidence for the effects of heatwaves on workers' health and safety in different climates (sub-tropical and temperate).
