As the 17th summer Paralympic Games start in Paris, some of Great Britain's athletes have been going the extra mile when it comes to training by working out in a heat chamber set to 40C. But it's about more than just heat. Athletes with spinal cord injuries or limb differences don't have the same surface area through which to sweat, so the chamber is also about seeing how their bodies adapt and recover. After every session, the sweat hoover is brought out… Plus, Canadian filmmaker and activist, Kyla Harris, discusses her new BBC comedy, We Might Regret This. It follows Freya (played by Kyla) as she attempts to navigate moving to London and a romance with a silver fox lawyer. What could possibly go wrong…?

Here's what Green Infill looks like! Built to the super energy efficient Passive House standard this 16-unit townhouse style infill project replaced two underutilized single-family homes in Edmonton, Alberta. The homes require just 10% of the heating energy of a regular home, and have no natural gas or bills. We take a tour of this amazing project with developers David and Melissa Campbell of Homestretch, a multifamily developer. The project utilized an unique EPS wall system with embedded structural steel, an ICF foundation and Air Source Heat Pumps which required no backup heat in 10 of the 16 units in a City where temperatures reached -40C last year. The Coup de Gras is the homes are powered mostly by solar electricity and 10 of the 16 units are net-zero. GreenEnergyFutures.ca CKUA.com Podcast See blog at GreenEnergyFutures.ca

Como as florestas morrem e por que o fenômeno está se acelerando

O aumento das áreas da Amazônia ameaçadas de atingir o "ponto de não retorno" de degradação preocupa cada vez mais a comunidade científica – mas ao redor do mundo, outras florestas também enfrentam condições de sobrevivência preocupantes. Na França, a mortalidade subiu 80% nos últimos 10 anos, segundo o último relatório nacional sobre o tema. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI Brasil em ParisMas o que leva uma floresta a morrer? “Tem as razões bióticas, biológicas, devido a doenças, insetos, fungos, que podem deixar as árvores doentes e torná-las empobrecidas, antes de morrerem. E temos as razões físicas, em especial o clima, que influencia o crescimento das árvores, o desenvolvimento delas. O clima pode ser muito nefasto e levá-las à morte”, resume a especialista em cobertura florestal Nathalie Derrière, chefe do Departamento de Resultados do Inventário do Instituto Nacional de Informação Geográfica e Florestal (IGN), autor do estudo.O papel das mudanças climáticas neste processo ainda é estudado pela ciência – hoje, não é possível afirmar que elas são as únicas responsáveis pelo maior adoecimento e morte das árvores verificados no país nos últimos 5 a 10 anos.As florestas europeias são, em sua maioria, temperadas, e a variedade de tipos de clima no continente é grande, podendo ser montanhoso, atlântico, mediterrâneo, continental ou até polar. Mas, de forma geral, o fenômeno de perda das florestas aumenta e se acelera, salienta Derrière.“Eu diria que, na Europa, nós estamos todos confrontados às mesmas problemáticas, embora com as especificidades locais, afinal as nossas florestas não são completamente iguais. Mas sim, florestas podem morrer, até quando nós cuidamos delas, como tem sido o caso aqui. Nós as preservamos, a superfície florestal tem aumentado, mas mesmo assim, vemos que elas estão empobrecendo”, explica. “Nem todo mundo é capaz de perceber isso: às vezes, temos a impressão de estarmos diante de uma árvore bem viva, porém por dentro ela está doente. Precisa ser como um médico de árvores para saber.”Sobrevivência em condições climáticas anormaisEm regiões como o noroeste francês, por exemplo, a cobertura florestal disparou em 150 anos, graças à diminuição da pressão agrícola e ao êxodo rural. Ao mesmo tempo, no centro e leste do país, a repetição de verões mais quentes e secos, além de invernos também secos, têm prejudicado o crescimento das árvores em comparação com os registros a partir de 1850, de quando datam os primeiros dados do IGN. Com 31% do território ocupado por florestas, a França hoje tem a quarta maior cobertura da Europa.“As árvores no sul da França estão acostumadas a ter o calor no verão há muito tempo. A variação das temperaturas não foi tão forte quanto ocorreu no norte, onde as árvores não estão acostumadas a ter verões secos e com temperaturas acima de 40C”, disse a especialista francesa. “Foi isso que aconteceu nos últimos anos e, geneticamente, elas não estavam prontas e não puderam se adaptar a isso. É por isso que foi lá que tivemos mais estragos.”A especialista também explica que, ao ampliar os fluxos do comércio internacional, a globalização trouxe novas doenças para as florestas, que chegam pela madeira e as plantas importadas de outros continentes. “Contra o clima, não podemos fazer muito. Mas contra as doenças, sim, e tentamos limitar a entrada delas no nosso território”, indica.Ponto de não retorno da AmazôniaEmbora o contexto seja bem diferente, um processo semelhante ameaça a Amazônia, floresta tropical úmida cuja capacidade de resiliência está sendo testada pelas mudanças do clima e a degradação provocada pelo desmatamento. No último estudo sobre o tema, publicado na respeitada revista científica Nature, os pesquisadores Bernardo Flores e Marina Hirota, da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), estimaram que entre 10% e 47% do bioma pode não resistir e se converter em outros tipos de ecossistemas nos próximos 25 anos. É o chamado de ponto de não retorno da floresta.“Podemos fazer uma analogia com como as pessoas morrem: de doenças, de velhice, de várias formas. Numa floresta como a Amazônia, que é quase um universo por si só, a gente pode pensar que cada indivíduo dela tem uma estratégia de vida e, dependendo do estresse que ela sofre, ou das doenças que ela pega, ela morre ou não”, indica Hirota.“Durante milhões de anos, no passado, a Amazônia se sustentou porque as mudanças não eram tão aceleradas como agora. Se nenhuma mudança nesse quadro acontecer, elas só vão se acelerar mais, de modo que até 2050, uma parte substancial da Amazônia talvez não consiga se adaptar a essas novas condições”, adverte.  A biodiversidade grande é um dos fatores que fortalecem a floresta e aumenta a sua resistência diante das condições mais adversas. Mas estudos em curso têm identificado que a diversidade de espécies de árvores está menor do que já foi, inclusive em áreas de mata fechada. Foi assim que, ao longo dos séculos, as florestas se empobreceram na Europa.“Eu acho que de uma forma geral, esses ecossistemas florestais caminham para uma coisa semelhante ao que aconteceu na Europa – embora a diversidade seja reconhecidamente maior aqui, mas o caminho de empobrecimento pode ser o mesmo”, disse Hirota. “Esse é um fim que a gente poderia esperar para cá.”

The Winter War

This is episode 7 and I'm covering the first week of January 1940. The Russian invasion of Finland has stalled as their mechanised units find the defenders extremely motivated, and the use of various innovations such as the Molotov cocktail and the Motti attack system have stymied Moscow's grand Red Army. Instead of flooding over the border and seizing Finland, the Russians have already lost thousands of men and they've been stopped dead in their tracks both in the crucial Karelian Isthmus battlefront, and further north of Lake Ladoga around Suomussalmi. They've also come to a frozen halt in the far north, near the Arctic Sea as -40C temperatures stun Russian troops. So it is with Suoussalmi we start, where the Soviet 44th Division was to face imminent destruction. Colonel Hjalmar Siilalsvuo who commanded the Finnish 9th Division Regiment with the code name JR-27 was facing the Russian 44th Division led by Alexei Ivanovich Vinogradov. Siilasvuo was a veteran of the World War One Jaeger Battalion, the son of a newspaper editor, he was also going to become known as one of the Finns master tacticians. Vinogradov on the other hand was not a master tactician as you'll hear. Siilasvuo's intention was to ambush the 44th, as it approached Suomussalmi along the main road from Raate, then to break it into pockets, isolate each and destroy them one-by-one. This was the Motte system, the chopping up of bundles of firewood. Two task forces were ready by New years eve and moved into position along the ice road the Finns cut in secret to the south of the main Raate to Suomussalmi route. One of these task forces was led by Major Kari, the other by Colonel Fagernas. Kari took up his position near a town called Makala, and FAgernas near Heikkila. A third raiding detachment was also on the move, traversing a tiny wagon track near Raate, stopping at the village of Vanka. The Finns had already destroyed the Russian 163rd Division on the Juntusranta road as the Red Army tried to flee back to their homeland — leaving 5 000 bodies littering the snow covered road. That was a sign of things to come as you're going to hear. Desmond Latham blog

In August 2003 Europe was hit by the hottest heatwave for hundreds of years. Tens of thousands of people died. Not built to withstand two weeks of extreme heat, Paris turned into a death trap for its most vulnerable citizens. The temperature reached 40C. Many elderly people died in their apartments alone. The government was criticised for its handling of the crisis. The head of the national health authority resigned shortly after the end of the heatwave.

Temperatures continued to reach extreme highs across many parts of the northern hemisphere on Monday, with the mercury in parts of Italy poised to hit 45C on Tuesday and wildfires raging in Greece and Spain signalling the latest fierce warning of the effects of the climate crisis.本周一(7月17日)北半球许多地区延续极端高温天气,意大利部分地区周二或将达到45摄氏度的高温,与此同时,希腊和西班牙山火肆虐再次警告人们气候危机已经来临。In Italy, where temperatures later in the week could push close to the European record of 48.8C, set in the Sicilian town of Floridia in August 2021, Italians were warned to brace themselves for “the most intense heatwave of the summer and also one of the most intense of all time”.意大利本周接下来几天的气温可能会逼近2021年8月西西里岛弗洛里迪亚镇创下的欧洲最高温纪录48.8摄氏度,意大利警告民众做好准备应对“今夏最强热浪也是史上最强高温天气”。As heatwaves engulfed the globe, temperatures in California's Death Valley, often among the hottest places on Earth, approached a world record on Sunday after reaching 53.3C.在热浪席卷全球的同时,上周日(7月16日)美国加州死亡谷的气温也达到了53.3摄氏度,逼近世界最高温纪录。死亡谷是地球上最热的地方之一。In a stark warning to world leaders earlier on Monday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, wrote on Twitter: “In many parts of the world, today is predicted to be the hottest day on record. And these records have already been broken a few times this year. Heatwaves put our health and lives at risk. The #ClimateCrisis is not a warning. It's happening. I urge world leaders to act now.”本周一世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞在推特上向世界领导人发出严正警告:“在世界上的许多地区,今天将会是有史以来最热的一天。今年以来高温纪录已经被打破多次。热浪让我们的健康和生命陷入了危险境地。#气候危机不是警告,它正在发生。我强烈要求世界领导人立即采取行动。”Italy's health ministry said on Monday that 23 Italian cities, including Rome, Florence, Bologna, Bari, Catania, Cagliari, Palermo and Turin, would be on “red alert” by Wednesday, a measure that means the heat is so intense, it poses a threat to the health of the entire population, not just children and elderly people.意大利卫生部长周一宣布,包括罗马、佛罗伦萨、博洛尼亚、巴里、卡塔尼亚、卡利亚里、巴勒莫、都灵在内的23个意大利城市周三前将发布“高温红色预警”,这意味着将出现超高温天气,对所有人口(不只是老人和小孩)的健康都会造成威胁。Temperatures in Rome, which is packed with tourists, are poised to climb to 42C or 43C on Tuesday.游客扎堆的罗马本周二气温预计将达到42或43摄氏度。"This is exceptional heat,” said Carlo Cacciamani, the chief of Italy's national meteorological and climatology agency. “We are expecting days of above 40C and this is already a strong anomaly.

El golpe de calor en perros puede ser mortal! Este evento se ve sobre todo en perros y esto es debido a que, a diferencia de los humanos, los perros NO sudan, su forma de regular su temperatura es por medio del jadeo principalmente y esta muchas veces no es suficiente para equilibrar las altas temperaturas del ambiente. Situaciones como dejar al perro en el carro con las ventanas cerradas o sacarlo a caminar al medio día pueden poner en riesgo la vida del animal.

Este episodio especial reúne lo más destacado de la serie en un viaje desde el Ártico hasta la Antártida. Comenzamos en el Océano Ártico congelado. Es el final del invierno, y cuando vuelve el sol, dos osos polares se encuentran en el hielo. Generalmente animales solitarios, estos dos osos jóvenes parecen abiertos a la amistad, y juntos disfrutan de varias horas jugando juntos, aparentemente bailando sobre hielo. En la costa de Groenlandia, el hielo del Ártico tiene un propósito muy importante: es un criadero de crías de foca arpa. Las focas arpa pasan solo 12 días con su madre, bebiendo su leche y aprendiendo la lección más importante de su vida: cómo nadar. Al sur del Océano Ártico se encuentran vastas tierras heladas de bosques cubiertos de nieve y una vasta tundra abierta que rodea el globo. Las temperaturas aquí pueden caer a -40C, y las condiciones son tan extremas que muchos animales tienen que hacer todo lo posible para sobrevivir. Aquí nos encontramos con una súper manada de lobos: 25 fuertes, una de las más grandes jamás registradas. Deben trabajar juntos para acabar con la única presa sustancial disponible para ellos en esta época del año, el bisonte americano. Mientras que los lobos dependen de la seguridad en número en estos mundos fríos y hostiles, en la fría estepa de gran altitud de Mongolia, un gato de Pallas se enfrenta solo a la vida. Puede que tenga el pelaje más denso de todos los gatos del mundo, pero también tiene las patas más cortas, lo que hace que la caza de presas en la nieve sea un desafío. Los mundos congelados se encuentran en todos los continentes de la Tierra, gracias a nuestras montañas. Cuanto más asciendes en estos mundos fríos de gran altitud, más impredecibles se vuelven. Las águilas reales viven en las montañas todo el año, sobreviviendo con presas tanto vivas como muertas. En primavera, cuando las gamuzas vecinas tienen crías, es un momento oportuno para que las águilas críen a sus polluelos. Cazan en tándem, uno dispersando a la manada y el otro abalanzándose sobre la captura. Pero a medida que crecen las crías de gamuza, las condiciones se vuelven más desafiantes hasta que, en otoño, un par de águilas reales deciden cazar presas mucho más grandes que ellas. La gran altitud permite que el frío gobierne en los lugares más improbables, como el Monte Kenia, cerca del ecuador en África. Aquí, una madre camaleón debe refugiarse durante la noche mientras las temperaturas caen en picado, pero durante el día debe correr para alimentarse y reproducirse. En el extremo sur, llegamos al lugar más frío de la Tierra: la Antártida, todo un continente cubierto de hielo. Incluso en verano, sus aguas están llenas de millones de témpanos de hielo, el lugar perfecto para que las focas de Weddell se acerquen después de una noche de alimentación. Pero ellos no están solos. Con la estrategia de caza más sofisticada de cualquier animal, una manada de orcas tiene una forma ingeniosa de atrapar comida que descansa sobre el hielo. Nuestro viaje termina en el invierno más frío y oscuro de la Tierra, cuando los polluelos de pingüino emperador se enfrentan a una de las crianzas más duras del planeta.

Quality and reliability are a big deal when designing PCB for assembly. Our guest Tony Lentz, Chemist and Field Applications Engineer at FCT Solder will bring us to the PCB manufacturing space while tackling solder beyond basic thermodynamics and composition. Listen or watch through the end. This is a great opportunity for PCB designers to learn about soldering products that are used for printed circuit board assembly. Episode Highlights: Introduction to Tony Lentz, his background, and role as a Chemist and Field Applications Engineer at FCT Solder Tony talks about how they work with their clients to achieve best quality when manufacturing their PCBs Diving into the chemistry side of things, Tony tackles about how the blending of different metal alloys, additives, and different inter-metallics to that solder joint composition, the pads, and the components can affect the overall reliability of the PCB With the automotive industry's growing electronic demands, thermal testing cycles are expanding aggressively. Recently between negative 40C to 175 C! Tony briefly explains the different worlds involving PCB manufacturing and assembly: solder company, plating company, components manufacturing, board manufacturing, assembly and the list goes on What is tombstoning? Head on pillow on a BGA is another difficult defect to get rid of, Tony explains what can cause this problem Expert Tip: A rule of thumb for large thermal pads is to cut it down somewhere between 60 and 80% of the total area covered with solder paste and then break that deposit up with some window pane type openings going through it Are hybrid solder reliable? The stability of solder alloys can differ based on the different kinds of metals, components and PCB surface finish

Europe was this week hit by an extreme heatwave exacerbating drought conditions and sparking wildfires in France, Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. The UK also broke its record temperature exceeding 40C. All this just weeks after flooding caused widespread disruption in Sydney, Australia. Scientists agree that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key to limiting the severity of climate change. But the planet has already warmed by 1.1C above pre-industrial levels and temperatures are expected to continue rising. More than half of the world's population live in cities and that figure is expected to rise to 68% by 2050. Extreme heat, droughts, wildfires, storm surges and flooding - both inland and along coastlines - will increasingly cause damage and deaths. So, how can we make cities more resilient to the inevitable impacts of a warming planet? What obstacles are preventing greater action? And will the rich world protect itself while poorer communities are left to fend for themselves? Ritula Shah is joined by a panel of expert guests. Producers: Paul Schuster and Zak Brophy.

The India Meteorological Department qualitatively describes heatwave as a condition of air temperature which becomes fatal to the human body when exposed. Quantitatively, it is defined based on the temperature thresholds over a region in terms of actual temperature or its departure from normal. A heatwave is considered if the maximum temperature of an IMD weather station reaches at least 40C or more for plains and at least 30C or more for hilly regions. A 4.5 to 6.4-degree departure from normal is considered to declare a heatwave and a more than 6.4-degree departure for a severe heatwave. And, when the maximum temperature is equal to or above 45°C, it is a heatwave, while if it's 47°C or above, it is a severe heatwave. The above criteria should be met at least in 2 stations in a Meteorological sub-division for at least two consecutive days to declare a heat wave. Heat waves usually occur in the months of March to June and in some rare cases even in July. The peak month of the heat wave over India is May. Heat waves generally occur over plains of northwest India, Central, East and north Peninsular India. It covers Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, parts of Maharashtra and Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Sometimes it occurs over Tamilnadu and Kerala also.   However, maximum temperatures more than 45°C are observed mainly over Rajasthan and Vidarbha region. IMD's network of surface observatories covering the entire country measure various meteorological parameters like temperature, relative humidity, pressure, wind speed and direction etc. Based on daily maximum temperature station data, climatology of maximum temperature is prepared for the period 1981-2010 to find out the normal maximum temperature of the day for a particular station. Thereafter, IMD declares a heatwave over the region as per its definition. The health impact of heat waves typically involves dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The IMD uses four colour codes for weather warnings. Green means no action needed, yellow refers to watch and stay updated, orange means be prepared while red alert means take action. Watch video

Thoughts from the Tractor - Brenda PM

Temperature, work, and lifestyle is a matter of perspective. We live where temperatures go from 40C to -50C, we need to be adaptable just like the animals around us.
