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.

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.

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

Dimensionless scaling of heat-release-induced planar shock waves in near-critical CO2
, 2017 We performed highly resolved one-dimensional fully compressible Navier-Stokes simulations of heat-release-induced compression waves in near-critical CO2. The computational setup, inspired by the experimental setup of Miura et al., Phys. Rev.

Frequency Dependent Specific Heat from Thermal Effusion in Spherical Geometry [PDF]
, 2010 We present a novel method of measuring the frequency dependent specific heat at the glass transition applied to 5-polyphenyl-4-ether. The method employs thermal waves effusing radially out from the surface of a spherical thermistor that acts as both a ...

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.

Effects of Autumn and Spring Heat Waves on Seed Germination of High Mountain Plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Alpine plants are considered to be particularly vulnerable to climate change and related extreme episodes, such as heat waves. Despite growing interest in the impact of heat waves on alpine plants, knowledge about their effects on regeneration is still ...
