Satellite Observations of the Seasonal Evolution of Total Precipitable Water Vapour over the Mediterranean Sea by J. L. Palau, F. Rovira, M. J. Sales

“…Furthermore, these satellite observations constitute strong empirical evidences that, (a) from late May to early October, contrary to what happens in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin (EMB), there is a net accumulation of TPW on the Western Mediterranean Basin (WMB) that favours the instability of the atmosphere, (b) there is a seasonal anticorrelation between the seasonal variability of the TPW column over the two Mediterranean subbasins, (c) solar radiation can not be the only driver for the annual variability of the TPW column over the Mediterranean Sea, and (d) both previous features are seasonally dependent and, therefore, their effects on the TPW column are attenuated by annual variability.…”

Thermomechanical Analysis of the Effects of Water Distribution on Cracks during Vertical Continuous Casting under Soft Reduction Conditions by Yu Yao, Bo Wang, Shanshan Liu, Liping Zhong, Shiyi Shen, Zheng Chen, Jieyu Zhang

“…The stress concentration is alleviated, and the possibility of cracking is reduced. Especially, it is evident that the proportion of water on the loose side margin increases from 40% to 45%, while the proportion of water on the fixed side margin of zone 3 is adjusted from 56% to 60%.…”

The Interannual Variability of Global Burned Area Is Mostly Explained by Climatic Drivers by Andrina Gincheva, Juli G. Pausas, Miguel Ángel Torres‐Vázquez, Joaquín Bedia, Sergio M. Vicente‐Serrano, John T. Abatzoglou, Josep A. Sánchez‐Espigares, Emilio Chuvieco, Sonia Jerez, Antonello Provenzale, Ricardo M. Trigo, Marco Turco

“…Additionally, we note that BA is also significantly associated with periods of antecedent wetness and coolness, with this association being especially evident in more arid ecoregions. About 60% of the interannual variations in BA can be explained by climatic variability in a large fraction (∼77%) of the world's burnable regions.…”

Unsteady flow and heat transfer optimization of viscous fluid with bioconvection over a rotating stretchable disk and gyrotactic motile microorganisms by Mazhar Hussain, Samya Shahid, Noreen Sher Akbar, Mohammed Kbiri Alaoui

“…Graphical results indicates that parameters like increment of unsteady effects helps in dissipation of thermal energy rapidly and bioconvection evidently influenced velocity, temperature and microorganism profile by thinning the microorganism layer, showing valuable results for optimizing thermal systems like in aerospace engineering where spacecraft undergo extreme temperature due to friction between spacecraft and atmosphere.…”
