Analysis of the diurnal behavior of Evaporative Fraction
In this thesis, the diurnal behavior of Evaporative Fraction (EF) was examined. EF was shown to exhibit a typical concave-up shape, with a minimum usually reached in the middle of the day. The influence of the vegetation cover and the soil moisture conditions on EF diurnal shape was also …

Diurnal analysis of intensity trends in Atlantic tropical cyclones
I postulate that a diurnal cycle may exist in observational variables related to tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. Prior studies document a significant diurnal signal in moist convection across tropical regions. Since convection becomes more pronounced in intense TCs, daily solar insolation possibly …

Proteomic analysis of diurnal variation in human skeletal muscle performance
… function measurement were employed to study diurnal variation. Time-of-day differences in sports performance and muscle function are widely reported, and typically, performance is ~10 % greater in the evening compared to the morning. This is consistent with our result in Chapter 3; we …

Diurnal preference and sports performance : a subjective and genetic view
[T]he purpose of this study was to describe the distribution of morning- or evening-preferring individuals (measured using the Horne-Östberg morningness-eveningness personality questionnaire) and PER3 VNTR polymorphism (from genomic DNA products extracted from human buccal cell samples amplified …

Analysis of building's response to diurnal variation in ambient temperature
An analysis is conducted to determine the number of nodes necessary to understand the influence that ambient temperature has on a building's interior air temperature. The simple case of a wall of homogeneous material is modeled as an electrical system: the building walls are modeled as resistors …

The Urban Heat Island's Effect on the diurnal temperature range
(cont.) representing Phoenix and its rural equivalent is presented through a comparison with estimated energy fluxes for Houston, TX.

Physics of diurnal warm layers : turbulence, internal waves, and lateral mixing
… This type of shallow stable layer is called a Diurnal Warm Layer (DWL). This thesis examines the physics and dynamics of DWLs from observations of the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean associated with the Salinity Processes in the Upper ocean Regional Study (SPURS-I). Momentum transferred from …

Evolution of diurnal surface winds and surface currents for Monterey Bay
The diurnal-period fluctuations of winds and surface currents are analyzed for September 1992 in and around Monterey Bay. Wind records are compared for three coastal stations and two mooring sites. Remotely-sensed surface current observations from two CODAR (HF radar) sites are used to explore the …

Dynamics of soybean leaf hydraulic conductance and diurnal soybean transcriptome analysis
… conditions and the dynamics of Kleaf on diurnal and season-long time scales. The acclimation of soybean Kleaf to growth at elevated [CO2], elevated temperature, and drought were examined in growth chamber studies and with field-grown soybean at the SoyFACE site in Champaign, IL. Because …

The diurnal cycle of cloud cover over southern and central Africa
… to improve the current understanding of cloud diurnal variability over this region by providing a base-line diurnal climatology of lowlevel, mid-level and high-level cloud cover. Diurnal variations of cloudiness are examined using ten years of cloud data from latest version of the International …

The diurnal cycle of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
… the most comprehensive study to date of the diurnal cycle of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal -- a bowl-shaped mountain valley of two million people with a growing air pollution problem but little past research. Field measurements and computer simulations were used to study the …

Capturing dynamics of inorganic carbon fluxes from diurnal to decadal timescales
… generated TA and DIC are being exported over diurnal, spring-neap, and seasonal scales. I investigated the best way to capture variability of marsh exports via traditional bottle sampling and assessed uncertainties associated with different sampling strategies. Marsh TA and DIC exports …
