The increasing likelihood of temperatures above 30 to 40 °C in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT: As European heatwaves become more severe, summers in the United Kingdom (UK) are also getting warmer. The UK record temperature of 38.7 °C set in Cambridge in July 2019 prompts the question of whether exceeding 40 °C is now within reach. Here, we show how human influence is increasing the likelihood of exceeding 30, 35 and 40 °C locally. We utilise observations to relate local to UK mean extremes and apply the resulting relationships to climate model data in a risk-based attribution methodology. We find that temperatures above 35 °C are becoming increasingly common in the southeast, while by 2100 many areas in the north are likely to exceed 30 °C at least once per decade. Summers which see days above 40 °C somewhere in the UK have a return time of 100-300 years at present, but, without mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, this can decrease to 3.5 years by 2100.

Altered above- and below-ground temperatures (30 day old potato)

Project description:72 plants have been grown in 2 phytochambers for 30 days under control temperature (21Â°C/19Â°C) and short day conditions (8 hours light/16 hours darkness). After 30 days the plants were switched to long day conditions (16 hours light/8 hours darkness) and the temperature of one phytochamber was increased to 29Â°C/27Â° (heat chamber). Moreover,a heatplate was located in the control chamber and a coldplate was located in the heat chamber. 18 plants have been grown on the heatplate with a constant temperature of 29Â°C. 18 plants have been grown on the coldplate with a constant temperature of 22Â°C. After 9 days of the heat period leaf samples (end of night) were taken for micorarray analysis. After 10 days of heat, tuber samples were taken for microarray analysis.

Qualitative release assessment to estimate the likelihood of henipavirus entering the United Kingdom.

Project description:The genus Henipavirus includes Hendra virus (HeV) and Nipah virus (NiV), for which fruit bats (particularly those of the genus Pteropus) are considered to be the wildlife reservoir. The recognition of henipaviruses occurring across a wider geographic and host range suggests the possibility of the virus entering the United Kingdom (UK). To estimate the likelihood of henipaviruses entering the UK, a qualitative release assessment was undertaken. To facilitate the release assessment, the world was divided into four zones according to location of outbreaks of henipaviruses, isolation of henipaviruses, proximity to other countries where incidents of henipaviruses have occurred and the distribution of Pteropus spp. fruit bats. From this release assessment, the key findings are that the importation of fruit from Zone 1 and 2 and bat bushmeat from Zone 1 each have a Low annual probability of release of henipaviruses into the UK. Similarly, the importation of bat meat from Zone 2, horses and companion animals from Zone 1 and people travelling from Zone 1 and entering the UK was estimated to pose a Very Low probability of release. The annual probability of release for all other release routes was assessed to be Negligible. It is recommended that the release assessment be periodically re-assessed to reflect changes in knowledge and circumstances over time.

Hearing in middle age: a population snapshot of 40- to 69-year olds in the United Kingdom.

Project description:To report population-based prevalence of hearing impairment based on speech recognition in noise testing in a large and inclusive sample of U.K. adults aged 40 to 69 years. The present study is the first to report such data. Prevalence of tinnitus and use of hearing aids is also reported.The research was conducted using the UK Biobank resource. The better-ear unaided speech reception threshold was measured adaptively using the Digit Triplet Test (n = 164,770). Self-report data on tinnitus, hearing aid use, noise exposure, as well as demographic variables were collected.Overall, 10.7% of adults (95% confidence interval [CI] 10.5-10.9%) had significant hearing impairment. Prevalence of tinnitus was 16.9% (95%CI 16.6-17.1%) and hearing aid use was 2.0% (95%CI 1.9-2.1%). Odds of hearing impairment increased with age, with a history of work- and music-related noise exposure, for lower socioeconomic background and for ethnic minority backgrounds. Males were at no higher risk of hearing impairment than females.Around 1 in 10 adults aged 40 to 69 years have substantial hearing impairment. The reasons for excess risk of hearing impairment particularly for those from low socioeconomic and ethnic minority backgrounds require identification, as this represents a serious health inequality. The underuse of hearing aids has altered little since the 1980s, and is a major cause for concern.

The Influence of Above-Ground Herbivory on the Response of Arctic Soil Methanotrophs to Increasing CH<sub>4</sub> Concentrations and Temperatures.

Project description:Rising temperatures in the Arctic affect soil microorganisms, herbivores, and peatland vegetation, thus directly and indirectly influencing microbial CH4 production. It is not currently known how methanotrophs in Arctic peat respond to combined changes in temperature, CH4 concentration, and vegetation. We studied methanotroph responses to temperature and CH4 concentration in peat exposed to herbivory and protected by exclosures. The methanotroph activity was assessed by CH4 oxidation rate measurements using peat soil microcosms and a pure culture of Methylobacter tundripaludum SV96, qPCR, and sequencing of pmoA transcripts. Elevated CH4 concentrations led to higher CH4 oxidation rates both in grazed and exclosed peat soils, but the strongest response was observed in grazed peat soils. Furthermore, the relative transcriptional activities of different methanotroph community members were affected by the CH4 concentrations. While transcriptional responses to low CH4 concentrations were more prevalent in grazed peat soils, responses to high CH4 concentrations were more prevalent in exclosed peat soils. We observed no significant methanotroph responses to increasing temperatures. We conclude that methanotroph communities in these peat soils respond to changes in the CH4 concentration depending on their previous exposure to grazing. This "conditioning" influences which strains will thrive and, therefore, determines the function of the methanotroph community.

Superconductivity above 30 K in alkali-metal-doped hydrocarbon.

Project description:The recent discovery of superconductivity with a transition temperature (T(c)) at 18 K in K(x)picene has extended the possibility of high-T(c) superconductors in organic materials. Previous experience based on similar hydrocarbons, like alkali-metal doped phenanthrene, suggested that even higher transition temperatures might be achieved in alkali-metals or alkali-earth-metals doped such polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons (PAHs), a large family of molecules composed of fused benzene rings. Here we report the discovery of high-T(c) superconductivity at 33 K in K-doped 1,2:8,9-dibenzopentacene (C(30)H(18)). To our best knowledge, it is higher than any T(c) reported previously for an organic superconductor under ambient pressure. This finding provides an indication that superconductivity at much higher temperature may be possible in such PAHs system and is worthy of further exploration.

Two thermal performance test (TPT) datasets of a single U-tube borehole heat exchanger with inlet setpoint temperatures of 30?°C and 40?°C.

Project description:The presented thermal performance test (TPT) datasets were related to the research article "New perspectives in thermal performance test: Cost-effective apparatus and extended data analysis" (Choi et al., 2018), where a new TPT apparatus was developed by adding a solid-state-relay and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to a thermal response test apparatus. Using the developed apparatus connected to a 50-m-long vertical ground heat exchanger, two TPTs were conducted for 144?h with inlet setpoint temperatures of 30?°C and 40?°C. The raw data were measured at 5?s intervals and consisted of the inlet, and outlet fluid temperatures, and the flow rate. The attached MATLAB script allows users to easily filter the data at user-specified time intervals. Moreover, the execution of code provides two additional quantities: heat injection rate and unit heat exchange rate. The datasets are shared for the following purposes: (1) performance comparison of various ground heat exchangers using the unit heat exchange rate (2) comparison of the control performance of a newly developed TPT apparatus, (3) validation of an analytical or numerical thermal response model, and (4) validation of a parameter estimation algorithm.

Rheumatology training in Poland vs. United Kingdom.

Project description:When evaluating the quality of Rheumatology specialty training, it can be useful to explore similarities and differences between countries. In this article we compare the training in the UK and Poland. The two training programmes are similar in length and in the competencies that must be achieved, although they do have significant differences in the way the training is structured. The UK-based system is more out-patient based, which can be advantageous, as after completion of training the doctor is more confident in treating common rheumatological problems. On the other hand, having exposure to paediatric rheumatology and orthopaedics like one has in Polish-based training, despite a short placement time, is definitely beneficial for the trainee in gaining all-round knowledge. In conclusion, each system has its merits and can be further enhanced by observing how junior doctors are sub-speciality trained in different countries.
