1,997
The gas phase reaction of ozone with alkenes plays a major role in tropospheric chemistry including urban air quality. The reaction of trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-hexene and 2,4-dimethyl-2-pentene with ozone has been studied at ambient temperature and p = 1 atm of air (RH = 55% ? 10%) with sufficient cyclohexane added to scav...

Mean and variance change in climate scenarios: methods, agricultural applications and measures of uncertainty
Mearns, LO; Rosenzweig, C; Goldberg, R
1,997
Our central goal is to determine the importance of including both mean and variability changes in climate change scenarios in an agricultural context. By adapting and applying a stochastic weather generator, we first tested the sensitivity of the CERES-Wheat model to combinations of mean and variability changes of temp...

Brain monoamine changes in rats after short periods of ozone exposure
Gonzalez-Pina, R; Paz, C
1,997
We have shown in our laboratory that cat's and rat's sleep disturbances are produced by 24 h of ozone (O3) exposure, indicating that the central nervous system is affected by this gas. To demonstrate the probable changes in brain neurotransmitters, we evaluated the monoamine contents of the midbrain and striatum of rat...
