Sources and seasonality of fluorescent aerosols in the Arctic
Julia Schmale, Ivo Fabio Beck, Benjamin Jérémy Laurent Heutte, Nora Bergner, Alireza Moallemi
Aerosol‐cloud interactions play an important role in the Arctic climate but remain poorly understood. Ice nucleating particles (INPs) contribute to the formation of ice crystals at temperatures above ‐38 °C in mixed phase clouds, which are predominant in t ...
2023Comparison of two methods for bioaerosol sampling and characterization in a low-biomass chamber environment
Dusan Licina, Shen Yang, Marouane Merizak, Akila Muthalagu
Bioaerosols are emitted from various sources into the indoor environment and can positively and negatively impact human health. Humans are the major source of bioaerosol emissions indoors, specifically for bacteria. However, efficient sampling to guarantee ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Portable impedance-sensing device for microorganism characterization in the field
A variety of biosensors have been proposed to quickly detect and measure the properties of individual microorganisms among heterogeneous populations, but challenges related to cost, portability, stability, sensitivity, and power consumption limit their app ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Aerosol-into-liquid capture and detection of atmospheric soluble metals across the gas–liquid interface using Janus-membrane electrodes
Jian Wang, Christian Ludwig, Tianyu Cen, Min Gao
The soluble fraction of atmospheric transition metals is particularly associated with health effects such as reactive oxygen species compared to total metals. However, direct measurements of the soluble fraction are restricted to sampling and detection uni ...
2023Towards a metabolic theory of catchments: scaling of water and carbon fluxes with size
Sara Bonetti, Francesca Bassani
Catchments are heterogeneous ecosystems involving several abiotic and biotic processes, where the mutual interactions among water, vegetation, and biogeochemical fluxes take place at different scales. Many biological processes in nature are characterized b ...
2023The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni
Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...
2023Salt-mediated inactivation of influenza A virus in 1- μl droplets exhibits exponential dependence on NaCl molality
Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Kalliopi Violaki, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Walter Hugentobler, Céline Terrettaz, Laura Costa, Laura José Costa Henriques
Influenza A virus (IAV) spreads through airborne particles ranging from sub-micrometer to millimeter-sized droplets. The stability of airborne IAV remains difficult to estimate and depends, among others, on the respiratory matrix composition and the size-d ...
2023Use of lidar aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients to estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations in the southeast Atlantic
Accurately capturing cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations is key to understanding the aerosol-cloud interactions that continue to feature the highest uncertainty amongst numerous climate forcings. In situ CCN observations are sparse, and most non ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023Aerobiology over the Southern Ocean – implications for bacterial colonization of Antarctica
Parts of the Antarctic are experiencing dramatic ecosystem change due to rapid and record warming, which may weaken biogeographic boundaries and dispersal barriers, increasing the risks of biological invasions. In this study, we collected air samples from ...
2022CryoETGAN: Cryo-Electron Tomography Image Synthesis via Unpaired Image Translation
Cryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET) has been regarded as a revolution in structural biology and can reveal molecular sociology. Its unprecedented quality enables it to visualize cellular organelles and macromolecular complexes at nanometer resolution with n ...
