High-throughput isolation of anaerobic arsenic-transforming microorganisms

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid that occurs naturally and is widely distributed in the environment. The inorganic compounds arsenite (As(III)) and arsenate (As(V)) are the most prevalent As species in the biosphere, the former being predominant in reduci ...

Soil carbon concentration drives anoxic microsites across horizons, textures, and aggregate position in a California grassland

Meret Aeppli

Anoxic microsites, zones of oxygen depletion in otherwise well-aerated soils, serve as prominent controls on several biogeochemical cycles (e.g., carbon, nitrogen, iron). However, relatively little is known about the spatiotemporal distribution of anoxic m ...

PolyCLEAN: Atomic optimization for super-resolution imaging and uncertainty estimation in radio interferometry

Julien René Fageot, Matthieu Martin Jean-André Simeoni, Sepand Kashani, Adrian Thibault Etienne Jarret, Joan Rue Queralt

Context. Imaging in radio interferometry requires solving an ill-posed noisy inverse problem, for which the most adopted algorithm is the original CLEAN algorithm and its variants. Alternative explicit optimization methods have gained increasing attention, ...

Influence of model uncertainty and long term deformations in action effects calculation in reinforced concrete structures

Xhemsi Malja

Most codes of practice adopt a semi probabilistic design approach for the dimensioning and assessment of structures. Accordingly, structural safety is ensured by performing limit state verifications using design values determined with adequately calibrated ...

A Case Study on Drivers of the Isotopic Composition of Water Vapor at the Coast of East Antarctica

Michael Lehning, Armin Sigmund

Stable water isotopes (SWIs) contain valuable information on the past climate and phase changes in the hydrologic cycle. Recently, vapor measurements in the polar regions have provided new insights into the effects of snow-related and atmospheric processes ...

The role of secondary ice production in mixed-phase clouds

Paraskevi Georgakaki

Clouds are omnipresent in the Earth's atmosphere. Their phase composition significantly modulates their interaction with solar and terrestrial radiation, as well as precipitation formation. Particularly for clouds containing both phases, known as mixed-pha ...

UNCERTAINTY QUANTIFICATION IN THE CONSTITUTIVE BEHAVIOR OF HDRBs

Katrin Beyer

High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRBs) are widely used in seismic isolation of structures, and their force-deformation constitutive behavior controls the lateral structural response during an earthquake. However, given the many components and steps involved ...

Snow transport in extreme environments: from small to large scale modeling

Daniela Brito Melo

The cold regions on Earth, such as the polar and high mountain regions, are snow covered for at least a part of the year. These snow-covered surfaces are highly dynamic, particularly under the influence of strong winds. The aeolian or wind-driven transport ...

Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry

David Andrew Barry

Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...

Modelling the Intracellular Environment under Uncertainty, from Post-translational Modification to Metabolic Networks

Robin Alexander Denhardt-Eriksson

Modelling and analysis of biological systems is crucial in order to quantitatively explain and predict their behaviour. The importance of modelling in systems biology becomes even more evident when tackling complex, large systems. Approaches that rely on ...

Consistency of cosmic shear analyses in harmonic and real space

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

Recent cosmic shear studies have reported discrepancies of up to 1 sigma on the parameter S-8 = sigma(8) root Omega(m)/0.3 between the analysis of shear power spectra and two-point correlation functions, derived from the same shear catalogues. It is not a ...
