These conditions correspond to generalizedbarotropic instability and super speed instability. They are instabilities of vortex and gravity inertial waverespectively. In order to relate to practical situation, a barotropic vortex was analyzed, the basic flow of which issimilar to lower level basic wind field of tropical cyclones and the maximum wind radius of which is 500 km.The results show that generalized barotropic instability depending upon the radial gradient of relative vorticitycan appear in this vortex. It can be concluded that unstable vortex Rossby wave may appear in barotropic vortex.展开更多

The second is obtaining the sulfate distribution through chemical reaction and transfer of matters in regional climate models online coupled with an atmospheric chemistry model that includes full chemical reactions for sulfides. The third is to put sulfate distribution data from GCM and its coupled atmospheric chemistry model to regional climate model, which is so called off-line coupled method. As shown in comparisons between the online and offline modeling on the regional scale, the radiative climate effect of sulfate shows large uncertainty due to significant influence from various methods.展开更多

They are generally considered selfish DNA, as their replication and random insertion may have deleterious effects on genome functionalities, although some beneficial effects and evolutionary potential have been recognized. Short interspersed elements (SINEs) are non-autonomous TEs with a modular structure: a small RNA-related head, a body, and a long interspersed element-related tail. Despite their high turnover rate and de novo emergence, the body may retain highly conserved domains (HCDs) shared among divergent SINE families: in metazoans, at least nine HCD-SINEs have been recognized. Data mining on public molecular databases allowed the retrieval of 16 new HCD-SINE families from cnidarian, molluscs, arthropods, and vertebrates. Tracking the ancestry of HCDs on the metazoan phylogeny revealed that some of them date back to the Radiata-Bilateria split. Moreover, phylogenetic and age versus divergence analyses of the most ancient HCDs suggested that long-term vertical inheritance is the rule, with few horizontal transfer events. We suggest that the evolutionary conservation of HCDs may be linked to their potential to serve as recombination hotspots. This indirectly affects host genomes by maintaining active and diverse SINE lineages, whose insertions may impact (either positively or negatively) on the evolution of the genome.展开更多
