27、roducing tinder(易燃物)for natural forest fires.So far, hundreds of above-ground fires have been recorded by satellites in the Arctic and sub-Arctic. It is estimated that fires within the Arctic Circle have produced more than 100m tonnes of carbon dioxide in a year. That is a lot. But burnt vegetation

28、can regrow within a decade, and in doing so reabsorbs much of the released carbon dioxide. It is what is happening below ground that most worries ecologists and climate scientists.Global warming will melt Arctic permafrost(永久冻土), releasing large amounts of stored greenhouse gases. But if fires in th

29、e region become more common, that could have even bigger consequences. Wildfires will release much faster and bigger amounts of carbon, rather than melting permafrost. The fires also produce black carbon which, if dropped on the Arctic sea ice by favourable winds, will darken its surface, making it

The sensor-embedded garments can be customized to fit close

35、to the body of the person wearing them.We can have electronic parts or lab-made electronics embedded within the textiles that we wear every day, creating comfortable garments, says Dagdeviren, an professor at MIT.

36、ng a fabric that has removable electronic sensors in it.In our case, the textile is not electrically functional.

37、 the body all from the same body part, without requiring any fixture or any tape.The electronic sensors consist of long flexible strips(细条). These channels have small openings that allow the sensors to be exposed to the skin. For this study, the researchers designed a shirt with 30 temperature senso

38、rs and an accelerometer that can measure the wearers movement, heart rate, and breathing rate. The garment can then transmit(传输)this data wirelessly to a smartphone.This kind of sensing could be useful for personalized telemedicine, allowing doctors to remotely monitor patients.
