Climatic Influences on Residential Energy Consumption
A new climatic index, applicable to the estimation of residential energy consumption, has been developed. The index is based on seasonal frequencies of upper-air (500-mb height) circulation patterns. Upper air circulation patterns are related to surface weather conditions, in that the movement of …

Climatic stability of polymer optical fibers (POF)
Optische Polymerfasern stellen ein relativ neues Medium zur Hochgeschwindigkeitsdatenübertragung mittels moduliertem Licht dar. Sie gestatten die Verbreitung großer Datenmengen über Entfernungen bis zu ca. 100 m, ohne eine Beeinflussung durch externe elektromagnetischen Feldern. Jedoch reagieren …

Genomics of Climatic Adaptation in Populus Trichocarapa
… climate, and geography, which suggested climatic selection driving adaptation of these populations to local environments. We subsequently combined genotype-phenotype association tests with sliding window analysis and identified regions strongly associated with these adaptive traits. We …

Technology and climatic effects in aggregate production functions
… in which important and systematic year-to-year climatic fluctuations occurred. A major question then concerns whether or not Griliches' technology conclusions were simply due to climatic phenomena. The question can of course not be answered without including a measured weather variable. The …

Climatic conditions inside nuclear reactor containments - Monitoring campaign
… radioactive nuclides. During operation the climatic conditions inside the reactor containment can be harsh, with temperatures over 50 °C and low relative humidities (RH). Knowledge about the condition in the containment and in the concrete structures is thereby important in order to evaluate …

Climatic reconstruction using wood charcoal from archaeological sites
… charcoal from archaeological sites as a palaeoclimatic indicator. Three techniques are described: (i) charcoal identification from Xylem Anatomy. (ii) Ecologically Diagnostic Xylem Analysis and (iii) stable carbon isotope analysis on wood charcoal. The first is a well established method of …

Climatic trends and soil moisture feedbacks over Zimbabwe
The research focuses on an objective analysis of austral summer rainfall variability over Zimbabwe as well as characterization of rainfall patterns and frequency analysis over southern Africa region. A statistical analysis of historical trends in climate extreme events is used and lays a foundation …

Tectonic and Climatic Controls on Continental River Systems
… results from changing tectonic and climatic forces, and implications of landscape evolution for past human settlement. In the first chapter, I use a process model of river erosion that includes sediment transport feedbacks to show that climate controls the degree to which rock type …

Prediction of soil moisture from selected climatic data
Climatic variables have been used to calculate evapotranspiration loss by many researchers. Evapotranspiration formulas have been developed for local use in predicting soil moisture in many parts of the United States. The objective of this study was to develop a method to estimate soil moisture in …
