Assessment of area, volume and ELA of glacial systems in Northeast Russia from satellite images in the beginning of XXI century by M. D. Ananicheva

“…Calculation of glacier volumes for the dates indicated in the USSR Glacier Inventory and satellite imagery: during this period in sum for 5 studied glacier regions the area, covered by ice, has decreased by 225.2 km², and ice volume – by 8.7 Gtg. Construction of spatial patterns (maps) of current ELA for 3 different by climate mountain regions – the Suntar-Khayata Mountains– Chersky Range, and Meynypilgynsky Range ( North Far East), showed that despite of retreat of the glaciers, the mean ELA change for the first studied region is not large compared with the data from the Glacier Inventory (100 m ), and significant for the second (100–150 m).…”

Distribution of Summer Zooplankton in the Waters off the Kuril Islands (Northwest Pacific) in Relationship with Environmental Conditions by Valentina Kasyan

“…The water temperature and salinity below the thermocline were the most important explanatory environmental variables responsible for zooplankton abundance variations. The distribution patterns of the large-sized copepods were strongly correlated with temperature and salinity, as well as with dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll <i>a</i> levels. …”

How Architecture Builds Intelligence: Lessons from AI by Nikos A. Salingaros

“…Traditional and vernacular architectures are appropriate for life, whereas new buildings and urban spaces adapt to human biology and are better for raising children only if they follow living geometry, which represents natural patterns such as fractals and nested symmetries. This study provides a novel, evidence-based framework for adaptive and empathetic architectural design.…”
