Springer Verlag2014Continental-Scale Footprint of Balancing and Positive Selection in a Small Rodent (Microtus arvalis)
Genetic adaptation to different environmental conditions is expected to lead to large differences between populations at selected loci, thus providing a signature of positive selection. Whereas balancing selection can maintain polymorphisms over long evolu ...
Public Library of Science2014Water use and quality in life cycle assessment
Pressure on freshwater resources is increasingly covered by methodological developments addressing freshwater use in the field of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). These developments ultimately lead to the publication of the ISO 14046 standard to define the pri ...
EPFL2014Water use by Sclerocarya birrea Agroforestry Trees in Sudanian Savanna: Application of Wireless Sensor Networks
Small scale rain fed agriculture is the primary livelihood for a large part of the population of Burkina Faso. Regional climate change means that this population is becoming increasingly vulnerable. Additionally, as natural savanna is converted for agricul ...
2011Evaporation over a Heterogeneous Mixed Savanna-Agricultural Catchment using a Distributed Wireless Sensor Network
Small scale rain fed agriculture is the primary livelihood for a large part of the population of Burkina Faso. Regional climate change means that this population is becoming increasingly vulnerable. Additionally, as natural savanna is converted for agricul ...
2010Interaction maximization and the observed distribution of urban populations: An agent-based model of humanity's metric condition
Pierre-Emmanuel Dessemontet, André Ourednik, Antonio Da Cunha, Jean-Bernard Racine
The very existence of urban formations on all inhabited continents and throughout the history of mankind since the 3rd millennium B.C. leads to suppose a tendency of some structured societies to maximize interaction by minimizing physical distance. Were th ...
2007Satellite cartography of atmospheric methane from SCIAMACHY onboard ENVISAT: (II) Comparison with inverse model simulations
We extend the analysis of a global CH4 data set retrieved from SCIAMACHY (Frankenberg et al., 2006) by making a detailed comparison with inverse TM5 model simulations for 2003 that are optimized versus high accuracy CH4 surface measurements from the NOAA E ...
2007Tidal landforms, patterns of halophytic vegetation and the fate of the lagoon of Venice
We review recent advances in the study of tidal landforms and their embedded vegetation patterns within the lagoon of Venice, aiming at clues on the coevolution of their morphodynamic and ecological features. The observation and analysis of network and veg ...
2004Regional levels of ozone in the troposphere over eastern Mediterranean
Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov
[1] During the last 5 years, information on the regional tropospheric ozone levels over the eastern Mediterranean has become available but was confined to measurements at ground level. Here available information is expanded with measurements at two more ru ...
