Anvil–radiation diurnal interaction: shortwave radiative-heating destabilization driving the diurnal variation of convective anvil outflow and its modulation on the radiative cance... by Z. Wang

“…Convective organizations and life stages are derived from the images of infrared brightness temperature (BT) of geostationary (GEO) satellites based on a variable-BT segment-tracking algorithm, which allows the possibility for quantifying the convective anvil outflow. Vertical structures of convection are measured by sensors of the A-Train constellation, which provides the cross section of convective outflow. …”

Effects of Manipulated Rainfall and Intraspecific Variation Within Dominant Species on Community Assembly: Insights From a Long‐Term Grassland Restoration Experiment by Zhe Ren, Sara G. Baer, Loretta C. Johnson, Matthew B. Galliart, David J. Gibson

“…Experimental drought did not affect species richness, phylogenetic, or functional diversity. Community structure in the grasslands was mainly shaped by intraspecific, within‐population variation in the dominant species rather than by differences in traits among species. …”

EFFECT VARIATION OF TEMPERATURE AND STIRRING SPEED ON THE BENDING TEST OF FIBERGLASS FIBER COMPOSITE MATERIALS USING THE VACUUM ASSISTED RESIN INFUSION (VARI) METHOD by Ferry Setiawan, Faras Bimo Sakti, Dhimas Wicaksono

“…The impact on bending strength is due to the presence of voids, which are gas or air trapped within the specimen structure. This is evidenced by micrographic analysis and density measurements, where the 28°C variation had the lowest density of 2.01 gr/cm3, while the 35°C and 50°C variations had the same density of 2.41 gr/cm3.…”
