Enhanced simulation of atmospheric blocking in a high-resolution earth system model: projected changes and implications for extreme weather events by Gao, Y, Guo, X, Lu, J, Woollings, T, Chen, D, Guo, X, Wu, L

“…In this study, we use the high-resolution Community Earth System Model (CESM-HR; 25 km atmosphere and 10 km ocean) to show that CESM-HR reduces biases in atmospheric blocking for both winter and summer, particularly for events lasting longer than 10 days. This improvement is partly due to reduced sea surface temperature biases at higher resolution. …”

The physiological effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopesticide on Aedes aegypti Larvae by Ting, Chuan Hsieh, Syahirah Zakaria, Siti Khadijah Mohd Bakhori, Shahrom Mahmud, Siti Nasuha Hamzah

“…After exposure to ZnO nanoparticles, Ae. aegypti larvae showed morphological abnormalities, including distorted and shrunk body parts as well as midgut rupture. Overall, the findings suggest that ZnO nanoparticles have the potential to replace chemical pesticides as a means of reducing the populations of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes.…”
