The River Aksu is the principal tributary to Tarim, providing about three quarters of its discharge. It originates in Kyrgyzstan and flows into arid areas Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region China, where an extensive irrigated agriculture has been developed river oases. aim present contribution review current trends temperature, precipitation, discharge links between these variables. temperature region have rising. Changes were studied using multiple trend analyses with different start end...
The discovery of regulatory motifs enriched in sets DNA or RNA sequences is fundamental to the analysis a great variety functional genomics experiments. These usually represent binding sites proteins non-coding RNAs, which are best described by position weight matrices (PWMs). We have recently developed XXmotif, de novo motif method that able directly optimize statistical significance PWMs. XXmotif can also score conservation and positional clustering motifs. server provides (i) list...
Abstract Summer rainfall in the Yangtze River basin is predicted using neural network techniques. Input variables (predictors) for are Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), East Atlantic/Western Russia (EA/WR) pattern, Scandinavia (SCA) Polar/Eurasia (POL) pattern and several indices calculated from sea surface temperatures (SST), level pressures (SLP) snow data December to April period 1993 2002. The output variable of May September 1994 2002, which was previously classified into six different...
In the absence of a sufficiently dense network climate stations covering all topographic regions Indus River basin and delivering high quality data over last 30 years or more, daily precipitation were obtained from National Centers for Environmental Prediction-Department Enviornment (NCEP-DOE) Reanalysis 2 dataset period 1979 to 2011. The transformed into time series frequency extreme events 1-day 10-day durations defined in terms 90th 99th percentile threshold exceedances. non-parametric...
Precipitation is a fundamental component of the hydrologic cycle and an extremely important variable in meteorological, climatological, hydrological studies. Reliable climate information including accurate precipitation data essential for identifying trends variability as well applying models purposes such estimating (surface) water availability predicting flooding. In this study, I compared rates from five reanalysis datasets one analysis dataset—the European Centre Medium-Range Weather...
Abstract In this study, the complementary relationship between actual evapotranspiration (ETa) and potential (ETp) was verified in Tarim River basin (TRB) northwest China. The advection–aridity (AA) model that is based on (CR) used to calculate ETa. Spatial temporal trends estimated annual ETa factors influenced were investigated. multiyear average TRB for period from 1961 2014 178.5 mm. There an overall significant increasing trend (at a rate of 10.6 mm decade−1) 2014; increased at 22.9...
A socio-economic data set on China's historical flood losses for the period 1984–2012 was compiled to analyze exposed population, economy, and crop area as well vulnerabilities of population economy floods. The results revealed that approximately 126 persons km−2 per year when taking China a whole; in terms potential due floods were estimated be 1.49 million CN¥ covered 153 hm2 year. total exposure significantly increased over analysis period. areas showed higher mainly located along east...
Ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia/reoxygenation of the heart both induce shedding coronary endothelial glycocalyx. The processes leading from an oxygen deficit to are unknown. An involvement resident perivascular cardiac mast cells has been proposed. We hypothesized that either adenosine or inosine both, generated by nucleotide catabolism, attain concentrations in interstitial space sufficient stimulate A3 receptors during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion hypoxia/reoxygenation. Isolated hearts...
Abstract Daily precipitation data of 148 weather stations located in the Yangtze River basin (P.R. China) are analysed to detect cycles annual frequency occurrence events 1‐, 5‐ and 10 days duration. These were defined terms exceedances some selected thresholds. The corresponding 10, 25 30 mm thresholds for 10‐day totals, respectively, detail. For identification cycles, basin‐wide averaged standardized time series used. It is found that peaks smoothed occurred around 1974, 1982 1991....
Using data from the Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive Version 2 (IGRA2) and Multi Model Ensemble (MME) of four global climate models (GCMs), named CanESM5, IPSL-CM6A-LR, MIROC6, MRI-ESM2-0, within framework phase 6 Coupled Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), we analyzed changes in atmospheric total column water vapor (TCWV) over Central Asia future (2021–2100) under SSP-RCPs scenarios: SSP1-1.9, SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP4-3.4, SSP4-6.0, SSP5-8.5, relative to baseline period...
Numerous dams and reservoirs in the Yangtze River basin have been constructed. Thus understanding variability of hydroclimatological time series is important for development an optimal reservoir management strategy. This crucial life densely populated known to be highly susceptible floods droughts. Time annual precipitation totals from May September (the rainy season) period 1961 2002 were averaged within subbasins River. The resulting analyzed similarities differences continuous wavelet...
