Influence of post‐harvest crop residue fires on surface ozone mixing ratios in the N.W. IGP analyzed using 2 years of continuous in situ trace gas measurements
Authors: Kumar V. , Sarkar C. , Sinha V. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractO3, CO, and NOx affect air quality and tropospheric chemistry but factors that control them in the densely populated N.W. Indo‐Gangetic Plain (IGP) are poorly understood. This work presents the first simultaneous 2 year long in situ data set acquired from August 2011 to September 2013 at a N.W. IGP site (30.667°N, 76.729°E; 310 m asl). We investigate the impact of emissions and meteorology on the diel and seasonal variability of O3, CO, and NOx. Regional post‐harvest crop residue fires contribute majorly to an enhancement of 19 ppb in hourly averaged ozone concentrations under similar meteorological conditions in summer and 7 ppb under conditions of lower radiation during the post monsoon. d[O3]/dt (from sunrise to daytime O3 maxima) was highest during periods influenced by post‐harvest fires in post monsoon season (9.2 ppb h−1) and lowest during monsoon season (4.1 ppb h−1). Analysis of air mass clusters revealed that enhanced chemical formation of O3 and not transport was the driver of the summertime and post monsoon ambient O3 maxima. Despite having high daytime NOx (>12 ppb) and CO (>440 ppb) in winter, average daytime O3 was less than 40 ppb due to reduced photochemistry and fog. Average daytime O3 during the monsoon was less than 45 ppb due to washout of precursors and suppressed photochemistry due to cloud cover. The 8 h ambient air quality O3 standard was violated on 451 days in the period August 2011–September 2013. The results show that substantial mitigation efforts are required to reduce regional O3 pollution in the N.W. IGP.
Evaluation of near‐surface temperature, humidity, and equivalent temperature from regional climate models applied in type II downscaling
Authors: Pryor S. C. , Schoof J. T. 
Published: March 2016

AbstractAtmosphere‐surface interactions are important components of local and regional climates due to their key roles in dictating the surface energy balance and partitioning of energy transfer between sensible and latent heat. The degree to which regional climate models (RCMs) represent these processes with veracity is incompletely characterized, as is their ability to capture the drivers of, and magnitude of, equivalent temperature (Te). This leads to uncertainty in the simulation of near‐surface temperature and humidity regimes and the extreme heat events of relevance to human health, in both the contemporary and possible future climate states. Reanalysis‐nested RCM simulations are evaluated to determine the degree to which they represent the probability distributions of temperature (T), dew point temperature (Td), specific humidity (q) and Te over the central U.S., the conditional probabilities of Td|T, and the coupling of T, q, and Te to soil moisture and meridional moisture advection within the boundary layer (adv(Te)). Output from all RCMs exhibits discrepancies relative to observationally derived time series of near‐surface T, q, Td, and Te, and use of a single layer for soil moisture by one of the RCMs does not appear to substantially degrade the simulations of near‐surface T and q relative to RCMs that employ a four‐layer soil model. Output from MM5I exhibits highest fidelity for the majority of skill metrics applied herein, and importantly most realistically simulates both the coupling of T and Td, and the expected relationships of boundary layer adv(Te) and soil moisture with near‐surface T and q.
The long‐term trend in the diurnal temperature range over Asia and its natural and anthropogenic causes

Published: March 2016

AbstractUnderstanding the causes of long‐term temperature trends is at the core of climate change studies. Any observed trend can result from natural variability or anthropogenic influences or both. In the present study, we evaluated the performance of 18 climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 on simulating the Asian diurnal temperature range (DTR) and explored the potential causes of the long‐term trend in the DTR by examining the response of the DTR to natural forcing (volcanic aerosols and solar variability) and anthropogenic forcing (anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHG) and aerosols) in the historical period of 1961–2005. For the climatology, the multimodel ensemble mean reproduced the geographical distribution and amplitude of the DTR over eastern China and India but underestimated the magnitudes of the DTR over the Tibetan Plateau and the high‐latitude regions of the Asian continent. These negative biases in the DTR over frigid zones existed in most models. Seasonal biases in the DTR pattern from models were similar to the bias in the annual mean DTR pattern. Based on three selected state‐of‐the‐art models, the observed decreasing trend in the DTR over Asia was reasonably reproduced in the all‐forcing run. A comparison of separate forcing experiments revealed that anthropogenic forcing plays the dominant role in the declining trend in the DTR. Observations and model simulations showed that GHG forcing is mainly responsible for the negative trends in the DTR over Asia but that anthropogenic aerosol forcing was also behind the decreasing trend in the DTR over China and especially over eastern China.
Origin and fate of surface drift in the oceanic convergence zones of the eastern Pacific
Authors: Maes Christophe , Blanke Bruno , Martinez Elodie 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThis study investigates the structure and intensity of the surface pathways connecting to and from the central areas of the large‐scale convergence regions of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Surface waters are traced with numerical Lagrangian particles transported in the velocity field of three different ocean models with horizontal resolutions that range from ¼° to 1/32°. The connections resulting from the large‐scale convergent Ekman dynamics agree qualitatively but are strongly modulated by eddy variability that introduces meridional asymmetry in the amplitude of transport. Lagrangian forward‐in‐time integrations are used to analyze the fate of particles originating from the central regions of the convergence zones and highlight specific outflows not yet reported for the southeastern Pacific when using the currents at the highest resolutions (1/12° and 1/32°). The meridional scales of these outflows are comparable to the characteristic width of the fine‐scale striation of mean currents.
Fertility Rates
Authors: Hartnett Caroline Sten 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Fertility rates measure the level of childbearing in a population. They are important for determining both the growth rate of a population and its age structure. Key measures of fertility include crude birth rate, general fertility rate, age‐specific fertility rates, cohort completed fertility, and total fertility rate. In most countries in the world, fertility has fallen from high levels (five or more children per woman) to much lower levels (below three children per woman) since the mid‐nineteenth century, as a result of factors such as economic changes and contraceptive technology. Currently, the lowest fertility levels (below 1.5 children per woman) are found in some European and East Asian countries, while the highest fertility levels (above five children per woman) are found mainly in sub‐Saharan African countries.
Morphological Covariation between the Maxillary Sinus and Midfacial Skeleton among Sub‐Saharan and Circumpolar Modern Humans
Authors: Butaric Lauren N. , Maddux Scott D. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTObjectivesMaxillary sinus volume tracks ecogeographic differences in nasal form and may serve as a zone of accommodation for ontogenetic and evolutionary changes in nasal cavity breadth. However, little is known regarding how sinus volume is distributed within the midface. This study investigates morphological covariation between midfacial and sinus shape to better understand structural and functional relationships between the sinus, midface, and nasal cavity.MethodsCranial and sinus models were rendered from CT scans of modern human samples from two disparate climates: sub‐Saharan (South Africans [n = 15], West Africans [n = 17]), and circumpolar (Siberian Buriats [n = 18], Alaskan Inuit [n = 20]). Twenty‐five 3D coordinate landmarks were placed on the models and subjected to generalized Procrustes analysis. Two‐block partial least squares (2B‐PLS) analysis was employed to identify patterns of covariation.ResultsThe 2B‐PLS analysis indicates PLS1 (58.6% total covariation) relates to height and breadth relationships between the midface, nasal cavity, and maxillary sinus. Significant regional differences in PLS1 scores are evident: circumpolar samples possess taller/narrower noses with taller/wider sinuses compared to sub‐Saharan samples. Importantly, PLS1 indicates that sinus breadth is not exclusively related to nasal cavity breadth; variation in lateral sinus expansion toward the zygoma represents an important contributing factor. PLS2 (16%) relates to supero‐inferior positioning of the sinus within the midface. Allometric trends, while statistically significant, explain only a small portion of these covariation patterns.ConclusionsThese results suggest that the maxillary sinus serves as a zone of accommodation at the confluence of multiple facial components, potentially minimizing effects of morphological alterations to certain components on adjacent structures.

Effect of natural flours on crystallization behaviors of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate)
Authors: Jonnalagadda Deepika , Kuboki Takashi 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the effects of natural flours on the crystallization behavior of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH). Two types of PHBH (3‐hydroxyhexanoate [3HH] contents of 5.6 and 11.1 mol %) were used as polymer matrix. One of two natural flours (cellulose or wood) at 1 wt % was added to this PHBH matrix. Crystallization behaviors under nonisothermal conditions were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while those under isothermal conditions were characterized using DSC and polarized optical microscopy. The results suggested that both cellulose and wood flour addition enhanced crystallization of the PHBH containing 5.6 mol % of 3HH (i.e., increased crystallization peak temperature and degree of crystallinity under the nonisothermal conditions, as well as decreased crystallization half time under the isothermal conditions). Of the two flours, wood flour was found to have greater effects, due to its higher crystal nucleating ability. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 43600.

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTMatrix tablets containing paracetamol and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC 2906) of different viscosity grades (50, 400, 1500, and 4000 mPa·s) were evaluated for drug release and change in matrix tablet mass [ΔM (%)] after exposure to 0.09, 0.15, 0.31, and 0.52M ionic strengths of dissolution media. At 0.09 and 0.15M ionic strength, drug‐release profiles reflected the extended release characteristic; in addition the increase in ΔM was slow and continuous within first few hours. At 0.31M the higher viscosity grade matrices showed extensive initial swelling and the loss of extended release whereas at 0.52M a similar tablet performance is observed for the matrices of all viscosity grades. Notably, when extensive increase in ΔM occurs in the very beginning of exposure to medium the loss of extended release from the matrix is expected. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
