We found spatial variability of heat vulnerability across counties, with generally higher vulnerability in high-altitude counties.
We found substantial spatial variability of heat vulnerability nationally, with generally higher vulnerability in the Northeast and Pacific Coast and the lowest in the Southeast.
Research suggests that the physical and social characteristics of neighborhoods are important for understanding the spatial and social distribution and variability of heat-related mortality within cities (Clarke, 1972; Harlan et al., 2006, 2013; Klinenberg, 2002; Smoyer, 1998).
Little is known about spatial variability of heat vulnerability in areas of developing countries like China and there have been no relevant reports previously from a high-elevation setting.
The variability of heat stress resistance between the four transgenic lines does not correlate with the level of egr-1 RNA levels in young adults (Fig. S1), but could be due to background differences or differences in egr-1 levels in specific tissues.
Variability of the heating rate can be explained by peculiarities of microwave absorption by the material due to the evolution of material's density and pore microstructure [9, 11 13].
This variability of the heating effect on PMSE power may be related to height-dependence and case-to-case variation of the electron temperature enhancements due to the ionospheric heating as well as to differing undisturbed levels of PMSE power.
Taking account of the tectonic setting of the study area, the middle part of the accretionary prism slope in the vicinity of the megasplay fault tip, we infer that the observed local variability of surface heat flow may be attributed to the following factors: seafloor topography, bottom water temperature variation, pore fluid flow along faults, and surface deformation.
Vulnerability was poorly studied by D'Ipoltiti et al. They have studied few individual characteristics (age, sex, cause of death) which did not explain the geographical variability of the heat wave effect.
The thermodynamics model, developed in a previous work by the authors [10], is a SZ model which takes into account the variability of the specific heats [k = k(T)] and the heat exchange between gas and cylinder walls.
