Understanding the ecological rules structuring the organization of species interactions is a prerequisite to predicting how ecosystems respond to environmental changes. While the ecological determinants of single networks have been documented, it remains unclear whether network ecological rules are conserved along spatial and environmental gradient...

Seasonal mammals register photoperiodic changes through the photoneuroendocrine system enabling them to time seasonal changes in growth, metabolism, and reproduction. To a varying extent, proximate environmental factors like ambient temperature (Ta) modulate timing of seasonal changes in physiology, conferring adaptive flexibility. While the molecu...

A brief overview of the discovery that macroscopic black holes are thermodynamical systems is presented. They satisfy the laws of thermodynamics and are associated with a temperature and an entropy equal to one quarter of their horizon area in Planck units. They emit black body radiation and slowly evaporate as a consequence of Heisenberg's uncerta...

Axion-like early dark energy (EDE) as an extension to $\Lambda$CDM has been proposed as a possible solution to the 'Hubble tension'. We revisit this model using a new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization likelihood constructed from the {\it Planck} NPIPE data release. In a Bayesian analysis, we find that the maximum fracti...

A fiber optic refractive index (RI) sensor based on an etched multimode fiber (MMF) with a double peanut-shaped structure is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The sensor consists of two peanut-shaped and a section of etched MMF tapered fiber structure. The excitation of the fundamental mode to higher-order modes is facilitated by using the ...

El Niño is a phase in an irregular periodic variation in winds and sea surface temperatures over the Pacific Ocean. It occurs on average every 2 to 7 years and typically lasts between 9 months and 2 years. El Niño affects the global weather patterns, resulting in above-average precipitation in some places and droughts in others. Malawi and its neig...

Background Exposure to high ambient temperature is reported to cause adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, considering myriad temperature and climatic conditions as well as different contextual factors, the paucity of studies from the developing regions impedes the development of a clear understanding of the heat-pregnancy outcome relationship. Mate...

Introduction The human upper airway regulates temperature, but its heating capacity remains unclear when the ambient temperature is low and the airway structure is abnormal. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the heat transfer characteristics of the upper airway in patients with mandibular retrognathia, and to quantitatively evalu...

To investigate the low-temperature crack resistance of plant-mixed heated recycled asphalt mixture, we conducted a semi-circular bending (SCB) test to analyze the effects of the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content, salt concentration, and loading rate on the crack resistance at −15 °C. The experimental results show that the fracture energy (G ...
