The flash point of a solvent or fuel oil is the temperature at which vapor given off will ignite when a spark occurs. Typically, flashpoint of fuel oil is around 60°C, but the ignition temperature, 250°C for light oil, is also an important factor. Carbon disulfide is particularly ...
The momentum advection owing to the meridional circulation generate SAO as sun crosses the equator twice a year. SAO dominates in the altitude range from 35 km to 50 km, and regulated by the seasonal cycle. The amplitude for the first phase (December, January, and February) is larger than ...
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. The Spring Equinox(春分), as the fourth term of the year starts on March 201ends on April this year. The Spring Equinox signals the equal2(long) of the day and night time. The day of the Spring Equinox is3the...
It’s been a little over a year since ourRedflowZCell battery andVictron Energyinverter/charger kit were installed on our existing 5.94kW solar array. Now that we’re past the Southern Hemisphere spring equinox it seems like an opportune time to review the numbers and try to see exactly how...
At first, they appeared to function solely as line-of-site markers of the sun’s solstice and equinox turning points. Archaeologists named them “E-Group complexes.” Although there was great diversity in these structures across time and place, what they had in common was a large rectangular,...
The black caps (Sylvia atricapila) from Cape Verde breed twice and from central Europe breed once a year, and they continue to show two and single circannual cycles in testis maturation, respectively, even when placed under constant artificial 13 h light per day (Helm and Lincoln, 2017). ...
When the Sun is directly overhead at the equator (spring and autumnal equinoxes, on March 21 and September 21, respectively) there are 12 h of daylight everywhere on the Earth; that is, all latitudes have equal amounts of day and night (Fig. 6). Fig. 7 shows that as summer moves ...
