Understanding the mortality effects of the most extreme heat events is central to climate change risk analysis and adaptation decision-making. Accurate representation of these impacts requires accounting for the effects of prolonged sequences of hot ...
BACKGROUND: Plants are always exposed to a variety of stressful environments, including heat and drought stress, which severely impact the growth, development, and productivity of the plants. To overcome such challenges, plants have evolved diverse a...
Heatwaves increasingly impact ecosystems, human health, and economic activities worldwide. As their frequency and intensity rise, understanding the mechanisms driving heatwave dynamics and interactions with land surface processes becomes crucial. Whi...
Pain assessment is a critical aspect of medical practice, directly influencing patient treatment and quality of life. Traditional pain evaluation methods, such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Verbal Rating Scale (V...
Animals adapt to dynamic olfactory environments through active sensing behaviors like sniffing, which create a dynamic baseline to detect new odors. In this work, we explore the use of Joule heating of individual sensors as an efficient thermal modul...
In the context of global climate change, this study aims to investigate the spatial heterogeneity and driving mechanisms of the urban heat island (UHI) effect within Xi'an's second ring road area. We constructed a novel multi-source data fusion frame...
