On the possibility of using geothermal data for paleoclimate studies in Antarctica: the experience from Portugal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The study of the climate in the past and the climate change in mainland Portugal using geothermal data has started in 1996. Reconstruction of ground surface temperature (GST) history from temperature logs measured in a 200 m deep borehole located 5 km ...

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Methods to simplify cooling of liquid Helium cryostats

open access: yesHardwareX, 2019
Liquid Helium is used widely, from hospitals to characterization of materials at low temperatures. Many experiments at low temperatures require liquid Helium, particularly when vibration isolation precludes the use of cryocoolers and when one needs to ...

Some factors affecting the distribution and apparent abundance of yellowfin and skipjack tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 1964
ENGLISH: Since 1951, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission has been investigating the biology, ecology and population dynamics of the yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares, and the skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis, in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

Considerações sobre o conceito de temperatura e de temperatura absoluta [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2006
Discute-se o conceito de temperatura que emerge da ação de contato, e a conveniência de torná-lo menos abstrato levando em conta a quantidade de matéria envolvida. Mostra-se que o conceito de 'energia térmica molar', numericamente igual ao produto da constante dos gases pela temperatura absoluta, preenche aquele fim, expressando o conteúdo cinético da ...

PODER TERMOELÉCTRICO DEL Ce(Pd1-xCux)2Si2

open access: yesAnales (Asociación Física Argentina), 2014
Se presenta un estudio del poder termoeléctrico, S(T), a bajas temperaturas de la aleación Ce(Pd1-xCux)2Si2. Las curvas deS(T) tienen una dependencia similar en todo el rango de sustitución, con tres anomalías: un máximo positivo de altatemperatura, un ...

Coping with change: Interactive effects of anthropogenic change influence the breeding success and survival of a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Habitat modification and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. Using 38 years of data (1985–2023), we examined their combined influence on a desert‐dwelling cooperative breeder's reproductive success and projected the likely magnitude of future effects of ...
