"Temperature affects everything. It influences all aspects of the physical environment and governs any process that involves a flow of energy, setting boundaries on what an organism can or cannot do. This wor reveals the key principles behind the complex relationship between org…

Global warming arises from an energy imbalance where increased radiative forcing from greenhouse gases traps additional heat in the Earth system. Over recent decades, more than 90% of this heat has gone into the ocean, causing thermal expansion that leads to sea level rise. Addi…
A Faixa Piritosa Ibérica é uma das províncias metalogenéticas mundiais mais estudadas e a sua prospecção e exploração extensivamente documentadas. Mesmo após mais de 5000 anos de contínua exploração mineira, as reservas demonstradas continuam excepcionalmente altas, embora confi…
The advancement of nuclear technology has resulted in new and unique thermal reactor designs beyond the typical light water reactors which currently dominate the reactor fleet. The verification and validation advanced thermal reactor performance require an accurate understanding…
Global climate change has had a substantial impact on marine biogeography and many species have experienced large spatial redistributions. While many approaches to understanding these changes focus on thermal habitat, theory from physiology and ecology suggest that oxygen and pr…
Climatic trends in spatial and temporal variability of maximum temperature (Tmax ), minimum temperature (Tmin ), mean temperature (Tmean ) and precipitation were evaluated for 249 ground-based stations in North Carolina for 1950-2009. The Mann-Kendall (MK), the Theil-Sen Approac…
