Occurrence of immature forms of culicids (Insecta: Diptera) in the northeastern region of Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
The Culicidae family is represented by approximately 3,610 species, among which many are involved in transmission of pathogens and parasites, thus presenting great medical-veterinary importance. In Brazil, the state of Pernambuco is considered an endemic

The Madden-Julian Oscillation: A Tool for Regional Seasonal Precipitation Outlooks?

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2017
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is an important intraseasonal climate signal which circles the global tropics, but also impacts extratropical weather regimes.

Spring Changeover of the Middle Atmosphere Circulation Compared with Rocket Wind Data up to 80 Km [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The middle atmosphere circulation is governed by two seasonal basic states in winter and summer, twice a year separated by relatively shortlived reversal periods.

A Cold Stress‐Activated Endocrine Sentinel Chemical Hormone Promotes Insect Survival via Mitochondrial Adaptations Through the Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Seasonal cold adaptation is vital for insect survival, yet the molecular mechanisms linking diapause to mitochondrial resilience remain largely unresolved. We identify ascaroside C9 (asc‐C9) as a key endocrine signal that enhances diapause survival during cold stress by activating the AKHR–PGC1α–UCP4 axis, thereby driving cold‐induced lipolysis and ...

The Influence of Synoptic-Scale Air Mass Conditions on Seasonal Precipitation Patterns over North Carolina

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2019
This paper characterizes the influence of synoptic-scale air mass conditions on the spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation in North Carolina over a 16-year period (2003−2018).

Descriptive Seasonal Adjustment by Minimizing Perturbations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
The seasonal adjustment method proposed by Schlicht (1981) can be viewed as a method that minimizes non-stochastic deviations (perturbations). This interpretation gives rise to a critique of the seasonality criterion used there.

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

Spatial and temporal analysis of the seasonal and interannual variability in the tropical Pacific simulated with a coupled GCM

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 2003
In the first part of this work, the dominant time scales that explain the tropical variability of the first SINTEX simulation (ECHAM4(T30)-ORCA) are identified through a spectral analysis.

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...

Rational Seasonality [PDF]

open access: yesFinance and Economics Discussion Series, 2006
Seasonal adjustment usually relies on statistical models of seasonality that treat seasonal fluctuations as noise corrupting the `true' data. But seasonality in economic series often stems from economic behavior such as Christmas-time spending.
