Back-and-forth oscillations in the Pacific temperatures alter atmospheric circulation patterns that deliver moisture to North America.
It is clear from my personal and professional experience that environmental change, including climate change, is among the most significant of these: rising temperatures, altered weather patterns, urbanisation and habitat loss have serious implications for nutrition, disasters and diseases such as dengue, malaria and ebola.
By measuring trees at tree farms of different elevations, Neufeld and his colleagues hope to gauge how cooler and warmer temperatures alter tree physiology.
Although neither group yet knows exactly how the receptor responds to cold, the "most straightforward" explanation, Patapoutian says, is that cold temperatures alter the structure of the receptor molecule, which sits in the cell membrane.
OO Food Insecurity: Arctic Heat Threatens Coastal Indigenous Life - as the ice disappears and soaring temperatures alter the life cycles and abundance of their prey, a growing number of indigenous communities are facing food shortages.
The two mutants showed impaired cell growth on benomyl-containing medium and at cold temperatures, altered microtubule (MT) dynamics, and altered nucleus positioning and segregation.
The data in Fig. 2 indicate exposure to high temperatures alter the ability of alginate to form viscous solutions.
More research is needed to determine whether these excursions above the manufacturers' recommended storage temperatures alter efficacy of stored drugs.
We then tested the primers for reproducible amplification in three giant pandas under the standard PCR conditions, with annealing temperatures altered according to the primer sequence.
These highland landraces appear to be very sensitive to the conditions more typical of midland sites, which include higher temperatures, altered precipitation, shorter growing seasons, and different insect and disease communities.
