Towards Delay Tolerant Networking for Connectivity Aware Routing Protocol for VANET-WSN Communications by Linda Mohaisen, Laurie Joiner

“…The probability of a low density of vehicles in a rural area at midnight is very high. Consequently, the packet will be lost due to the lack of other vehicles, and the arrival of the following vehicles in the accident area is unavoidable. …”

Intense photooxidative degradation of planktonic and bacterial lipids in sinking particles collected with sediment traps across the Canadian Beaufort Shelf (Arctic Ocean) by J.-F. Rontani, B. Charriere, A. Forest, S. Heussner, F. Vaultier, M. Petit, N. Delsaut, L. Fortier, R. Sempéré

“…Hence, the relative recalcitrance of phytodetritus towards biodegradation processes during the Arctic midnight sun period was attributed to the strong photodegradation state of heterotrophic bacteria, which likely resulted from the efficient transfer of singlet oxygen from photodegraded phytoplanktonic cells to attached bacteria. …”

Exotic Norths? Representations of Northern Scandinavia in S. H. Kent's <i>Within the Arctic Circle</i> and Bayard Taylor's <i>Northern Travel</i> by Maria Lindgren Leavenworth

“…The close readings are focused on Kent's and Taylor's depictions of Sami life, the cold, the perceived 'backwardness' of the area, the midnight sun and the northern lights. The analyses illustrate that two forms of exoticism feature in the travelogues; an exoticising exoticism figure aspects of the landscape and the people which are benevolently viewed and not in need of improvement or change, and an imperialist exoticism structure depictions of aspects which are seen as in need of amendment. …”

Roman versus Jewish Reckoning of Hours in the Gospel of John: An Exegetical Misconception That Refuses to Die by Adam Kubiś

“…In its first part, the article reviews extrabiblical ancient literature to demonstrate that, while the Romans in fact had two systems of marking the beginning of the day (dies civilis, legitimus – starting at midnight, and dies naturalis, verus – starting at sunrise), the manner of reckoning the hours of the day (and the night) was precisely the same for the Romans as for the Jews. …”

Novel insights in the diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome. by Alexandraki, K, Grossman, AB

“…Many studies have examined the utility of resistance to steroid feedback by the dexamethasone suppression tests and increases in secretion assessing 24-hour urinary free cortisol; however, the most sensitive indicator is the loss of circadian rhythmicity. Therefore, midnight sleeping cortisol is undoubtedly an extremely sensitive indicator of CS but impractical for screening purposes. …”

Possibilities of Estimating F2 Layer Peak Plasma Frequency Using HF Radiation from High Apogee Satellites over Arctic Region by Igor Krasheninnikov, Givi Givishvili

“…Radio path orientations were selected to be close to the classical limit cases of radio wave propagation in the anisotropic ionospheric plasma: quasi-longitudinal approximation and, to a large extent, the quasi-transversal one for the quiet midday and midnight conditions. As a result of these simulations and following specific spacecraft conditions, working with an optimal probing signal was proposed for the appropriate emission power for the onboard transmitter. …”

Awakening effects of church bell noise: Geographical extrapolation of the results of a polysomnographic field study 1 by Sarah Omlin, Mark Brink

“…The number of awakenings could be reduced by more than 99 percent by, for example, suspending church bell ringing between midnight and 06 h in the morning. A reduction of the number of AWRs of about 75 percent could be achieved by reducing the sound-pressure levels of bells by 5 dB.…”

Statistical characteristics of extreme precipitation induced by MCS in Hubei Province by Xiaoci WANG, Shuangjun LI, Jiaguo ZHANG

“…BB MCS basically remained in place from occurrence to dissipation. (3) From the perspective of monthly change, MCSs occurred the most in June and July, and MCS cases with extreme heavy rainfall in April and September occurred the least. (4) The average life history of an MCS was 5-8 hours, most of which occurred from afternoon to evening, and the peak of maturity was at around midnight. Most of the extreme precipitation occurs at night. …”
