TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on role of the westerly jet over Asia, namely that its latitude relative to Tibet is critical in determining the stepwise transitions in East Asian rainfall seasons, and show from observational data that the interannual co-variation of June (July-August) rainfall and upper tropospheric zonal winds show properties consistent with an altered timing of the transition to the Meiyu (Summer), and with more northward-shifted westerlies for earlier transitions.

TL;DR: A new long speleothem δ18O time series from Xiaobailong cave in southwest China characterizes changes in a major branch of Indian summer monsoon precipitation over the last 252 kyrs, and shows clear glacial–interglacial variations that are consistent with marine and other terrestrial proxies but different from the cave records in East China.

TL;DR: The effect of autonomic agonists, on pancreatic insular A, B, and D cells, and of sulfonamide pharmacologic agents postulated as acting via paracrine 1 or adrenergic 2 stimulation, were studied using the truly isolated canine pancreas.

TL;DR: An algorithm is developed that identifies zonally elongated rainfall patterns related to the well-known Meiyu front and finds that the frequency and daily accumulation of frontal rainfall have undergone significant decadal changes, while nonfrontal rainfall exhibits no trend.
