Study of Positive Corona Discharge of Needle Plate Electrodes in Airflow

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For high‐speed moving objects such as aircraft and wind turbine blades, discharge occurs under strong airflow. Research on lightning attachment characteristics has been extensive, whereas the role of corona discharge in pre‐breakdown streamer development has received less attention.

Radioecological assessment of the marine environment in the area of the sinking of the nuclear submarine K-159 based on the results of the scientific research expedition in 2023

RUDN Journal of Ecology and Life Safety
The K-159 nuclear submarine that sank in 2003 in the Barents Sea near Kildin Island is a potential source of radiation hazard. In 2023, Research and Production Association «Typhoon» organized an expedition to study the radiation situation and conduct a ...

Shared leadership can promote success in collaborative research networks in ecology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract While collaborative science is becoming the norm in ecology, many ecologists participating in collaborations are less aware of the body of research that studies the processes by which collaborative teams organize and communicate.

Precipitation Retrieval from Geostationary Satellite Data Based on a New QPE Algorithm

Remote Sensing
A new quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) method for Himawari-9 (H9) and Fengyun-4B (FY4B) satellites has been developed based on cloud top brightness temperature (TBB).

An observational study of the inner core structure of Typhoon Meranti (2016) near landfall

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2020
When passing by Taiwan, Typhoon Meranti (2016) was deflected northwards and shrank on infrared images, while its intensity maintained above 50 m⋅s–1 with the radius of maximum wind (RMW) smaller than 30 km.

Topical cyclone rainfall characteristics as determined from a satellite passive microwave radiometer [PDF]

Data from the Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR-5) were used to calculate latent heat release and other rainfall parameters for over 70 satellite observations of 21 tropical cyclones in the tropical North Pacific Ocean.

microRNAs: new regulatores of biological function in Hevea brasilienis [PDF]

, 2012
Fine regulation of gene expression is partially ensured by microRNAs (miRNAs) in response to external stimuli. They negatively regulate gene expression by targeting the cleavage or inhibit the translation of target messenger RN As (mRNAs).

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Impact of Directly Assimilating Radar Reflectivity Using a Reflectivity Operator Based on a Double-Moment Microphysics Scheme on the Analysis and Forecast of Typhoon Lekima (1909)

Remote Sensing
In previous studies, radar reflectivity is often directly assimilated using reflectivity operators based on a single-moment (SM) microphysics scheme, though the forecast model uses a double-moment (DM) microphysics scheme.
