At elevated temperatures, the corn plant, which under ideal conditions is so extraordinarily productive, goes into thermal shock.
The medieval period represents the longest episode
of elevated temperatures outside of the 20th century, although 20th century temperatures clearly exceed those of the medieval period.
Still, computer simulations suggest that about a third of the recent drought's severity could have been caused
by elevated temperatures linked to climate change, the researchers found.
It does not make sense to put water under pressure and
elevated temperature into the core of a reactor when it can be avoided.
So I don't see how it follows that «there should have ensued a period of
elevated temperatures for thousands of years until the cooling of the Holocene».
Here, we tested the effects ocean acidification in combination with
elevated temperature on early life history stages of several spawning acroporids from the Great Barrier Reef.
The present review evaluates the evidence for such a complex system by investigating studies in which interventions such
as elevated temperature, altered oxygen content of the air, reduced fuel availability and misinformation about distance covered have resulted in alterations to the pacing strategy.
In the often - studied mustard plant called Arabidopsis,
elevated temperatures cause the plants to grow longer stems and thinner leaves in order to cope with the heat stress.
Harvest losses
from elevated temperatures of 20 percent for wheat, 40 percent for soybean and almost 50 percent for maize, relative to non-elevated temperatures, can be expected at the end of our century without efficient emission reductions.
Treatment for canine cancer can include surgery to remove the tumor; radiation therapy; Hyperthermia (
using elevated temperatures); Photodynamic Therapy (light therapy); Chemotherapeutic drugs (chemotherapy); gene therapy; or any combination of these.
The researchers said the findings provided insights into how plants modulate their growth, and could lead to scientists designing plants that could
withstand elevated temperatures.
Elevated temperatures across more of the country earlier in the season helped the overall summer to tie 2006 as the fifth warmest on record for the Lower 48, measuring 2.1 °F (1.2 °C) above the 20th century average of 71.4 °F.
Physicist Miklos Zagoni says, «It is nonsense to think that a system «waits» for our CO2 - emissions to
elevate its temperature if otherwise the energetic conditions make possible to rise and the necessary resort (a practically infinite reservoir of greenhouse gases in the form of water vapor in the oceans) is at its hands.»
El Niño Now Among Strongest in Modern History; Unusually Warm and Unsettled Conditions Persist in California: Not only is 2015 California's warmest year on record to date (beating the previous record set all the way back in 2014), but the details of the
persistently elevated temperatures have been particularly oppressive...
The researchers annealed the films at
increasingly elevated temperatures to gradually drive water out of NiO, checking its structure with X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy along the way.
«Plant's response to heat stress fluctuates between day and night: How plants respond to
elevated temperatures crucial for protecting environment and food supply.»
Pinning - controlled permanent magnets operating at
elevated temperatures above 100 ° Celsius boost device performances of magnet - based industrial applications.
«The thermoplastic nature of the polymeric substrate also allows for the crumpled graphene morphology to be arbitrarily re-flattened at the
same elevated temperature for the crumpling process.»
I paint primarily in encaustic, and encaustic
requires elevated temperatures — hotplates to melt the wax, a heatgun to fuse the layers of paint once they are laid down.
At today's
already elevated temperatures, the massive Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets — which together contain enough water to raise sea level by 12 meters (39 feet)-- are melting at accelerating rates.
