A fourth-grade student attends an online class at her home in Quezon City, the Philippines, April 5, 2024. Sweltering weather has forced 3,954 schools across the Philippines to implement alternative delivery modes of learning to protect the students from the high heat index, the government said...
Measurement of membrane thermo stability index (MSI) Leaf samples (0.1 g) were cut to a uniform size and placed into separate test tubes containing 10 ml of double distilled water. Once set was heated at 40 ̊ c for 30 min in a water bath and the other set at 100 ̊ C in boilin...
One of the direct and unavoidable consequences of global warming-induced rising temperatures is the more recurrent and severe heatwaves. In recent years, even countries like Malaysia seldom had some mild to severe heatwaves. As the Earth's average temper

Sustainable spermatogenesis, as the index of reproduction performance of male dairy goats, works best at temperatures between 2 ℃ and 7 ℃ below body temperature. High temperatures naturally occurring in summer were demonstrated to damage the production and reproductive performance of dairy goats, manif...
The probability of secondary vortex production declines as the power-law index increases. In a slanted penetrable, open-ended, insignificant hollow cavity Raizah et al.14 computationally conducted a buoyancy-driven convection for non-Newtonian fluids. He concluded that the increase in aspect ratio ...
Although these differences are independent of the UHI effect, the consequences of thermal comfort or eventually cooling energy loads worsen, considering the urban microclimate. Notably, the Netatmo sensor also registered daily UHII differences higher than 4 °C between the L_D and M_D, as ...
At the county level, coastal counties and those in tornado alley face the highest risks of natural disasters, based on FEMA's National Risk Index (Exhibit 3A). Across Florida, the household composition/disability index—which indicates vulnerability due to a high share of elderly, children, singl...
In August 2022, unprecedented and long-lasting extreme heatwaves attacked the Northern Hemisphere, with simultaneous record-breaking surface air temperature (SAT) in Eastern Europe (EE), Southern China (SC), and Western North America (WNA). However, the
Based on hourly climate reanalysis data (ERA5-Land) and using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) as our reference heat stress index5, we integrated sector-specific estimates of heat-induced productivity losses during heatwaves in 274 European regions into a regionalised general equilibrium ...
