A Query on Identification, Classification and Synoptic Analysis of Heat Waves in Kerman Province [PDF]
نشریه جغرافیا و برنامهریزی, 2016 Heat waves are considered as one of the important climatic hazards in the world and especially in Iran and it seems that, due to intensification of global warming, their occurrence has increased in recent years than in the past.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Global warming has led to an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat waves in the summer, which can cause frequent and acute heat stress on ectotherms. Thus, determining how ectothermic animals respond to heat waves has been attracting

Physical Review DIt was shown in previous work that when a gravitational wave (GW) passes through a viscous shell of matter the magnitude of the GW will be damped and there are astrohysical circumstances in which the damping is almost complete. The energy transfer from the GWs to the fluid will increase its temperature.

Response of Urban Heat Stress to Heat Waves in Athens (1960–2017)
Atmosphere, 2019 The increasing frequency, intensity and duration of heat waves seem to follow the observed global warming in recent decades. Vulnerability to heat waves is expected to increase in urban environments mainly due to population density and the effect of the ...

Eurosurveillance, 2007 The July-August 2005 issue of Eurosurveillance focused on the impact on mortality of the 2003 heat wave in Europe, with articles that were based on various methods and looked at different time periods. The subject of this letter is to assess, using a unique methodology, the excess mortality related to the 2003 heat wave across the continent.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

BMJ, 2003 Simple preventive measures may help reduce mortality Increasing evidence shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are rising and are causing global warming.1 Record air temperatures were recorded in Britain during the last month. Accurate estimates of the consequences of these must wait until daily mortality data are available, but press reports ...
