An experimental comparison of silica gel and quartz sand grains as sediment media for growing vegetation at the laboratory scale

In this technical note we compare silica gel grains and quartz sand as sediment media for vegetation root growth in laboratory experiments for ecohydrology and ecohydraulics. Silica gel grains become quite transparent when saturated with water. This would ...

Zero-order-free image reconstruction in digital holographic microscopy

Michaël Unser, Christian Depeursinge, Nicolas Pavillon, Chandra Sekhar Seelamantula

We address the problem of zero-order-free image reconstruction in digital holographic microscopy. We show how the goal can be achieved by confining the object-wave modulation to one quadrant of the frequency domain, and by maintaining a reference-wave i ...

Modelling the impact of flooding stress on the growth performance of woody species using fuzzy logic

Rodolphe Schlaepfer

Among the driving processes responsible for riparian forest dynamics the species-specific impact of flooding on the development of woody plants plays a key role-particularly for lowland rivers. Only a few of the forest succession models currently in use in ...

Pollen productivity estimates and relevant source area of pollen for selected plant taxa in a pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains (Switzerland)

Alexandre Buttler, Pascal Vittoz

Relevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and pollen productivity for 11 key taxa characteristic of the pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains, Switzerland, were estimated using pollen assemblages from moss polsters at 20 sites. To obtain robust poll ...

Bio-inspired self-organizing cellular systems

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Fabien Vannel

Bio-inspiration borrows three properties characteristic of living organisms: multicellular architecture, cellular division, and cellular differentiation. Implemented in silicon according to these properties, our self-organizing systems are able to grow, to ...

Alginate-based microcapsules for mammalian cell culture and other biotechnological applications

Véronique Breguet

Since life began, nature has been using the envelopment of systems for their protection or for providing a particular reaction space, the enveloping wall displaying additional specific membrane functions. The abundance of examples is quite overwhelming and ...

Structure of cytochrome c6A, a novel dithio-cytochrome of Arabidopsis thaliana, and its reactivity with plastocyanin: implications for function

Cytochrome c6A is a unique dithio-cytochrome present in land plants and some green algae. Its sequence and occurrence in the thylakoid lumen suggest that it is derived from cytochrome c6, which functions in photosynthetic electron transfer between the cyto ...
