It is the northernmost airport in China and the first Chinese airport built on permafrost.

In digital systems (i.e., using discrete discontinuous values) with binary code, 1 Bd 1 bit s.

HEND helped lead to the discovery that 15 per cent of the surface of Mars was permafrost.

It's also probably one the most vulnerable of the oldest living things, because if the permafrost melts, it won't survive.

It cannot be a Baire class 1 function because a Baire class 1 function can only be discontinuous on a meagre set.

Paradoxically, the apparently discontinuous and contradictory nature of the era of reform and opening may actually help explain how China s boom came about.

Since permafrost melts slowly, it provides a steady source of water to the eruption while keeping the water to magma ratio low.

The town has a heated open air swimming pool, which is supported on stilts so that the heat does not melt the permafrost.

In mathematics, a nowhere continuous function, also called an everywhere discontinuous function, is a function that is not continuous at any point of its domain.

Transactional leadership is more effective in stable and predictable environments, whereas an inspirational style is more likely to appear in periods of rapid and discontinuous social and political change.

As Earth warms, now because of extra CO2 we put in the atmosphere, ice will melt, and CO2 and methane will be released by warming ocean and melting permafrost.

In the south of the plain, where permafrost is largely absent, rich grasslands that are an extension of the Kazakh Steppe formed the original vegetation (almost all cleared now).

This was already happening before the Great Recession, so generating full time jobs that pay decent wages was becoming ever more difficult. Hence the growth of casual, discontinuous, part time jobs.

Morgan found many of the most interesting changes in living things have been largely discontinuous with past evolution, and therefore did not necessarily take place through a gradual process of natural selection.

In Siberia, vast quantities of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas, are locked up in what used to be called permafrost regions in which it was assumed that the ground was permanently frozen.

Seemingly dramatic changes in weather patterns including the melting of glaciers in Greenland and the thawing of the Siberian permafrost have at last convinced most business leaders that the time for action is now.

If just three percent of the carbon locked up in the arctic permafrost is released as the world warms, it would offset all the savings that we need to make, in carbon, over the next 40 years to avoid runaway climate change.

The physical explanation for the existence of the evanescent wave is that the electric and magnetic fields (or pressure gradients, in the case of acoustical waves) cannot be discontinuous at a boundary, as would be the case if there was no evanescent wave field.
