Dystrophic changes in neurons of the sensorimotor cortex of rat's brain in delayed periods following exposure to small fluxes, i.e. 104 and 105 particles/cm2, of accelerated carbon, fluorine, and oxygen ions with an energy of 300 MeV/nucleon and 137Cs gamma-rays at a dose of 1.0 Gy were quantitatively analyzed. Some structural changes of varying degree including death of a part of neurons were observed; however, most of the cells looked unaltered. Glial elements and small blood vessels also developed a reaction. Dynamics of the morphologic changes was studied. Higher effectiveness of small fluxes of heavy charged particles versus gamma-radiation at a dose of 1.0 Gy and dependence of the depth of structural disorders on linear energy transfer were demonstrated.

Rectification effects of regional air-sea interactions over western boundary current on large-scale sea surface temperature and extra-tropical storm tracks.
Sci Rep

Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory, NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research, 1850 Table Mesa Drive, Boulder, CO, 80305, USA.
The warm Western Boundary Currents (WBCs) and their zonal extensions are persistent, deep, strong and narrow oceanic currents. They are known to anchor and energize the Extra-Tropical storm tracks by frontal thermal air-sea interactions. However, even in the latest generation of climate models, WBCs are characterized by large biases, and both the present storm-track activity and its recent intensification are poorly estimated.

The global seasonal cycle of energy in Earth's climate system is quantified using observations and reanalyses. After removing long-term trends, net energy entering and exiting the climate system at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) should agree with the sum of energy entering and exiting the ocean, atmosphere, land, and ice over the course of an average year. Achieving such a balanced budget with observations has been challenging.

Methane (CH) processes and fluxes have been widely investigated in low-latitude tropical wetlands and high-latitude boreal peatlands. In the mid-latitude Mongolia Plateau, however, CH processes and fluxes have been less studied, particularly in riverine wetlands. In this study, in situ experiments were conducted in the riverine sandy wetlands of the Mongolia Plateau to gain a better understanding of CH emissions and their influencing mechanisms.

Peatlands are important global stores of carbon. However, peatland disturbance, including climate change, can cause stored carbon to be released, shifting peatlands from net carbon sinks to net carbon sources. Yet, there is a paucity of data on the carbon cycling of Australian peatlands from which to inform effective management of the peatland carbon store.
