Climatology of TEC Longitudinal Difference in Middle Latitudes of East Asia by Xingxin Sun, Yuqiang Zhang, Jian Feng, Zhensen Wu, Na Xu, Tong Xu, Zhongxin Deng, Yi Liu, Fubin Zhang, Yufeng Zhou, Chen Zhou, Zhengyu Zhao

“…The model simulation shows that the TEC longitude difference around noon is mainly caused by the zonal wind-declination mechanism, and a 4-h time delay seems to be an optimal result for the vertical drift velocity to cause the longitudinal TEC difference during pre-noon hours. …”

A Hyperspectral-Physiological Phenomics System: Measuring Diurnal Transpiration Rates and Diurnal Reflectance by Shahar Weksler, Offer Rozenstein, Nadav Haish, Menachem Moshelion, Rony Walach, Eyal Ben-Dor

“…Significant correlation coefficients between the spectra and momentary transpiration rates resulted with a selection of three bands (ρ523, ρ697 and ρ818nm) that were used to capture transpiration rate differences using a normalized difference formula during the morning, noon and the afternoon. These differences also indicated that the best results are not always obtained when spectral (remote or proximal) measurements are typically preformed around noon (when solar illumination is the highest). …”

Sleep deprivation effects on basic cognitive processes: which components of attention, working memory, and executive functions are more susceptible to the l... by Aída García, Jacqueline Del Angel, Jorge Borrani, Candelaria Ramirez, Pablo Valdez

“…After sleeping freely, control group participants performed a continuous performance task to evaluate the components of attention, a phonological and a visuospatial tasks to record these components of working memory, and a Stroop-like task to assess cognitive inhibition and flexibility, two components of executive functions, at noon for 3 days. Whereas, the sleep deprivation group participants performed the same tasks at noon: after sleeping freely for one night, after a 24-h sleep deprivation, and after one recovery night. …”

Investigation of Land–Atmosphere Coupling during the Extreme Rainstorm of 20 July 2021 over Central East China by Yakai Guo, Changliang Shao, Aifang Su

“…Taking the multi-process chain in chronological order, the wet soil contributes greatly to daytime moisture evaporation, which then increases the early noon PBL warming and enhances the noon period buoyant mixing within weak moist heating; however, this is suppressed by large-scale forcing such as the upper southwestern inflows of rainstorms, which further significantly shapes the spatial distribution of the statistical metrics. …”

Milton, Leibniz, and the Measure of Motion by Raman, Shankar

“…Milton’s description of the “high capital / Of Satan and his peers,” the aptly named Pan-daemonium, leads to a memorable account of its architect’s expulsion from heaven: Men called him Mulciber; and how he fell From heaven, they fabled, thrown by angry Jove Sheer o’er the Crystal Battlements; from morn To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve, A summer’s day; and with the setting Sun Dropped from the zenith like a falling Star, On Lemnos the Aegaean Isle: thus they relate, Erring; for he with this rebellious rout Fell long before; nor aught availed him now To have built in heaven high towers; nor did he scape By all his engines, but was headlong sent With his industrious crew to build in hell. …”
