From 1900 to 2010, temperatures in the Midwest rose by an average of 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit, which would also lead to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Precipitation is also expected to increase due to increased storm activity and changes in regional weather patterns. This paper explores the impact of these changes on urban and agricultural areas. In urban areas such as the city of Chicago, runoff from the increasing impervious surface areas poses challenges to the drainage system, and agriculture areas are challenged by soil erosion, nutrient loss, and fewer planting days due to excessive rainfall. Sustainable solutions such as no-till agriculture and the creation of grassland zones are discussed. Using historical data, recent climate studies and projections, the paper Outlines ways to enhance the Midwest’s ecology and resilience to climate change.展开更多

We are faced with four major interrelated challenges namely a changing climate, biodiversity loss, human population growth and food production for this growing population. Agricultural intensification contributes significantly to biodiversity loss. The agricultural model for our current food production systems is mainly based on the Green Revolution, which promoted the cultivation of crops in extensive monoculture fields and intensified external inputs of agrochemicals. This model resulted in biodiversity loss, particularly in insect populations. A model based on ecological intensification as an alternative to agricultural intensification with minimized use of agro-inputs may slow the rate of biodiversity loss resulting in more sustainable agricultural ecosystems.展开更多

The constructs were transfected with lipofectamine and positive clones were selected with G418. The expression of RNA was determined with dot blotting and RNase protection assay, and the expression of Hsp90 protein determined with western blot. Cell cycle distribution of the transfectants was analyzed with flow cytometry, and the drug sensitivity of the transfectants to Adriamycin (ADR), vincrinstine (VCR), mitomycin (MMC) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) with MTT and intracellular drug concentration of the transfectants was determined with flow cytometry.RESULTS:In EcoR I and BamH I restriction analysis, the size and the direction of the cloned sequence of Hsp90beta remained what had been designed and the gene constructs were named pcDNA-Hsp90.AH-SGC7901, AH-SGC7901/VCR, AH-HCC7402 and AH-Ec109 cell clones all expressed Hsp90 anti-sense RNA. The expression of Hsp90 was down-regulated in AH-SGC7901, AH-SGC7901/VCR, AH-HCC7402 and AH-Ec109 cell clones. Cell cycle distribution was changed differently. In AH-SGC7901/VCR and AH-Ec109 cells, G(1) phase cells were increased; S phase and G(2) phase cells were decreased as compared with their parental cell lines. In AH-SGC7901 cell, G(1)phase cells were decreased, G(2) phase cells increased and S phase cells were not changed, and in AH-HCC7402 cells G(1), S and G(2) phase cells remained unchanged as compared with their parental cell lines. The sensitivity of AH-SGC7901, AH-SGC7901/VCR, AH-HCC7402 and AH-Ec109 to chemotherapeutic drugs, the sensitivity of AH-SGC7901/VCR to ADR, VCR, MMC and CTX the sensitivity of AH-HCC7402 to ADR and VCR, and the sensitivity of Ec109 to ADR, VCR and CTX all increased as compared with their parental cell lines. The mean fluorescence intensity of ADR in AH-SGC7901, AH-SGC7901/VCR, AH-HCC7402 and AH-Ec109 was also significantly elevated (P 【 0.05).CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of Hsp90 could change cell cycle distribution and increase the drug sensitivity of tumor cells.展开更多

The analysis uses three experiments simulated by the second-generation Earth System Model(CanESM2) of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis(CCCma), which are part of the phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project(CMIP5). The authors focus on the magnitude and evolution of responses in soil moisture and NPP using simulations modeled by CanESM, in which the individual effects of increasing CO2 concentration and climate change and their combined effect are separately accounted for. When considering only the single effect of climate change, the soil moisture and NPP have a linear trend of 0.03 kg m–2 yr–1 and –0.14 gC m–2 yr–2, respectively. However, such a reduction in the global NPP results from the decrease of NPP at lower latitudes and in the Southern Hemisphere, although increased NPP has been shown in high northern latitudes. The largest negative trend is located in the Amazon basin at –1.79 gC m–2 yr–2. For the individual effect of increasing CO2 concentration, both soil moisture and NPP show increases, with an elevated linear trend of 0.02 kg m–2 yr–1 and 0.84 gC m–2 yr–2, respectively. Most regions show an increasing NPP, except Alaska. For the combined effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 and climate change, the increased soil moisture and NPP exhibit a linear trend of 0.04 kg m–2 yr–1 and 0.83 gC m–2 yr–2 at a global scale. In the Amazon basin, the higher reduction in soil moisture is illustrated by the model, with a linear trend of –0.39 kg m–2 yr–1, for the combined effect. Such a change in soil moisture is caused by a weakened Walker circulation simulated by this coupled model, compared with the single effect of increasing CO2 concentration(experiment M2), and a consequence of the reduction in NPP is also shown in this area, with a linear trend of-0.16 gC m-2 yr-2.展开更多

Simultaneously water and air temperatures increase more than elsewhere in Europe and globally, which cannot be explained with ＂global warming＂. The climatic change issue would be better understood if this extraordinary regional warming is sufficiently explained. The regional features are unique for in-depth studies due to different summer-winter conditions, shallowness of the seas, geographical structure, and main pathway for maritime weather patterns moving eastwards. The impact of sea activities on the seasonal sea water profile structure is contributing to stronger regional warming, change in growing season, and less severe sea ice conditions. The impact of the man, whether small or large, should be understood very soon and very thoroughly.展开更多

For a project implementation addressing these issues, it is essential to know the climatic conditions of the target area. Taking natural ventilation, climatic factors, and renewable alternatives as important sources of comfort, in this work, passive strategies, through the utilization of microclimate elements as well as the location of outside obstacles, were imposed on an initial and specific project. The objective was to introduce obstacles which could interfere in the field of external wind and evaluate whether this outside intervention is able to make changes in indoor air circulation. The wind fields for the studied cases were obtained by computational simulations, and their consequences were analyzed to attain thermal comfort. The method adopted to obtain the wind fields was a Petrov-Galerkin type method, which is a stabilized mixed finite element method of the Navier-Stokes equations considering the incompressibility and formulated in primitive variables, velocity and pressure. The obtained results point to the solutions that promote the increase or decrease of the wind-field intensity.展开更多

The way that tenure is established and reviews for tenure are conducted need to be based more on a system that allows for the development of the whole individual. The future health of academia rests on the development and refinement of a system that creates a healthy environment for all members of that system. All faculty members cannot and should not be held to standards that were created in another time, which constructed the academic role as a gendered role. Individuals need to consider how we do gender, and how that creates an impact on our organization, academia. A process for equitable review of all participants in the system requires that all individuals be involved in the process of defining the standards for a tenurable professor. Then all voices should and must be represented when we construct how we do tenure so that even minority voices still have their chance to speak. There is a better way to perform the roles we take in academia, there is a better way to perform our gender in this setting, and from recognizing this we can then move to a better way to do all this that is academia.展开更多

文摘《巴黎协定》提出全球暖化程度在21世纪末相对工业革命前控制在2℃以内的目标。青藏高原高寒植被对全球变暖非常敏感,在2℃温升这个边界增温条件下研究高原植被对气候变化的响应关系到高原生态安全问题,有重大现实意义。本文基于CMIP5多模式模拟预测结果研究了高原植被对2℃温升的响应,并探讨了高原植被对于气候因子变化的敏感性,得到主要结论如下:在全球2℃温升背景下,高原植被叶面积指数(Leaf Area Index, LAI)较历史参考期显著增加,高原变绿,其中高原中部LAI和植被碳存储增加最为显著,三江源是植被LAI增加较快的区域。增温后裸地面积迅速减少,植被覆盖率总体增加,大部分地区草地呈增加趋势,森林减少趋势变缓,说明在2℃温升期高原植被有所改善。在全球2℃温升背景下,高原植被覆盖率表现出对温度和降水率等气候因子更强的依赖性和敏感性,在增暖环境中,气温仍是影响高原植被生态系统变化的主控因子。
文摘采用T-FACE(Temperature-free air carbon dioxide enrichment)试验平台,设置田间常规温度和CO_(2)浓度(CK)、田间常规温度和增加CO_(2)浓度至575μmol·L^(-1)(C)、升高温度(高于大气温度2℃)和田间常规CO_(2)浓度(T)以及升高温度(高于大气温度2℃)和增加CO_(2)浓度至575μmol·L^(-1)(CT)共4个处理,对田间冬小麦进行控制实验。在小麦播种期、越冬期、分蘖期和成熟期分别采集不同层次的土壤样品(耕作层0-14cm、犁底层14-33cm、潴育层33-59cm和潜育层59-80cm),分析大气CO_(2)浓度增加和温度升高后农田土壤N、P含量及其有效性的动态变化,以揭示气候变化对农田土壤中养分含量的时空影响。结果表明:(1)冬小麦在越冬期CO_(2)浓度增加的情况下,常规或升高温度可使潴育层土壤中硝态氮含量出现下降趋势,在越冬期除T处理外,CK、C和CT处理的硝态氮含量在播种期低于耕作层。在越冬期的各处理中,硝态氮含量以CK处理增加最为明显。(2)在增加CO_(2)浓度和升高温度的情况下,耕作层土壤中铵态氮含量在越冬期和分蘖期显著低于田间正常的CO_(2)浓度和温度处理,且在不同土壤层次中未表现出明显的上升或下降的现象;铵态氮含量在小麦整个生长期相对稳定,但CT、C和T三种不同处理条件下,小麦成熟期铵态氮含量明显增加,且温度升高处理下的增加趋势显著(P<0.05);在小麦整个生育期内,C处理下铵态氮表现出先上升后下降的趋势,而CK、CT和T处理则表现出上升—下降—上升的趋势。(3)小麦全生育期内CK处理的速效磷含量明显高于其它处理,且在播种期、越冬期和分蘖期,CK处理与CT和T处理速效磷含量差异显著(P<0.05)。未来气候变化引起的CO_(2)浓度增加和温度升高情况下,应合理施用N、P肥,减少不必要的养分流失。
