Stimulate intelligent conversation by asking for opinions on the current temperature of Chicago’s business environment. For something lighter, ask where to find the best pizza, hot dog or Italian beef sandwich
The ongoing vegetational change on the Tibetan Plateau, where pastoralism has been the predominant way of life, is of regional and global importance. Although recent influential research suggests that the vegetation on the Tibetan Plateau has been greening, or improving, local yak herders in Nagchu ...
The young and elderly should be especially careful in the cold. "Their ability to maintain core body temperature is harder than mid-age and younger adults," he said. "Kids, especially babies, lose a disproportionate amount of heat from their head -- that's why you want to have a hat on...
an electromagnet's strength depends on the amount of current that flows through it. Permanent magnets can lose their magnetic properties such as their ability to give off a magnetic field when they're heated to a certain temperature.
What is the magnetic declination in Chicago? What is the Sun's declination on the vernal equinox? What is another name for the star Polaris? What are the current celestial coordinates of the Sun? How many stars in the Big Dipper are circumpolar?
Thermohaline circulation can only develop in extremely cold regions where the temperature of the air is low enough to make the surface water very cold, highly salty and more dense than the water beneath it. Thus, deep currents generally occur in the higher latitude regions of the Earth, such ...
"As the temperature increases, each extra bit of temperature increase is much worse than the previous temperature increase," said Jina. As carbon concentrations in the atmosphere rise, "things can kind of start to spiral." At the lower end of the warming scale, including the 1.1 degree increa...

The Tourism sector, a crucial contributor to Europe's GDP, has recently drawn attention to the prolonged summer and extreme temperature events, such as heatwaves. In countries like Spain, it is predicted to bear negative impact on tourism activities due to reduced thermal comfort (Matei et al...
Two main evolutionary scenarios have been described to date for the generation of hotspots of intraspecific biodiversity in temperate species16. Under each of these scenarios, past climatic oscillations are seen as the major distal cause of the process and the location of hotspots is seen as ...
