Intense heat waves: dynamical-physical factors and characteristics of these heat waves
Sakarya Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi, 2017 Dynamical and physical factors that trigger and maintain heat waves (HW) were examined. Since high pressure systems play a role in HW processes, an atmospheric blocking method was introduced.

On the atmospheric background for the occurrence of three heat wave types in East China
Weather and Climate Extremes, 2023 Compared with daytime (occurring only in daytime) and nighttime (occurring only in nighttime) heat waves (HWs), daytime-nighttime compound HWs (occurring simultaneously in daytime and nighttime) are highlighted to exert much severer impacts especially on

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.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.
