Atmospheric pathway of marine heatwaves over the Northwestern Pacific.

This study analyzes the influence of the Pacific-Japan (PJ) atmospheric teleconnection pattern and its interaction with oceanic processes on sea surface warming over the Northwestern Pacific. The PJ pattern is a thermally driven Rossby wave that originates over the tropical western Pacific through deep convection and propagates toward high latitudes. It plays a significant role in sea surface warming by inducing anticyclonic circulation and the corresponding northwestward extension of the subtropical high over the Northwestern Pacific.

Impact of North Atlantic-East Asian teleconnections on extremely high January PM cases in Korea.

In this study, we investigated the daily variability of PM concentrations in January in Korea during the past 19 years (2001-2019), as well as the associated atmospheric circulation patterns. The daily PM concentrations were classified into three cases: low (L; < 50 μg/m), high (H; 50-100 μg/m), and extremely high (EH; ≥ 100 μg/m). We found that the strength of the East Asian winter monsoon influenced the PM variability in the L and H cases.

Different osteogenic potentials of recombinant human BMP-6 adeno-associated virus and adenovirus in two rat strains.

The osteogenic potential of AAV5hBMP6 was compared with that of ADhBMP6 in immunodeficient and immunocompetent rats. AAV5hBMP6 (2.3 x 10(12) particles) and ADhBMP6 (5 x 10(7) PFU) elicited viral antibody production in immunocompetent rats.
