Indices for climate variability and extremes have been used for a long time, often by assessing
days with temperature or precipitation observations above or below specific physically‐…

… ; average all data points for that station-year-month to create a mean time series; or combine
the information in more complicated ways, such as averaging the first difference (FD = T -T t…

… Change points in the difference series were objectively identified using automated 2-phase
regression techniques developed by Easterling and Peterson (1995a,b). To complement the …

Reactive astrocytes are strongly induced by central nervous system (CNS) injury and disease,
but their role is poorly understood. Here we show that a subtype of reactive astrocytes, …

A suite of climate change indices derived from daily temperature and precipitation data, with
a primary focus on extreme events, were computed and analyzed. By setting an exact …

Observations of sea surface and land–near-surface merged temperature anomalies are used
to monitor climate variations and to evaluate climate simulations; therefore, it is important …

Observed climate change and variability (for definitions, see the IPCC Glossary, Appendix I)
are considered in this chapter by addressing seven commonly asked questions related to …

Analysis of the global mean surface air temperature has shown that its increase is due, at
least in part, to differential changes in daily maximum and minimum temperatures, resulting in …

… production between normal vessels and hypercholesterolemic vessels were performed
using unpaired t test or when appropriate paired t test. The accepted level of significance was P …

Presented here are four major theories behind the functioning of the world's presses:(1) the
Authoritarian theory, which developed in the late Renaissance and was based on the idea …
