Quantifying the impacts of urban morphology on modifying microclimate conditions in extreme weather conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik

It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particu ...

A constitutively monomeric UVR8 photoreceptor confers enhanced UV-B photomorphogenesis

Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Roman Podolec

The plant ultraviolet-B (UV-B) photoreceptor UVR8 plays an important role in UV-B acclimation and survival. UV-B absorption by homodimeric UVR8 induces its monomerization and interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1, leading ultimately to gene express ...

Local surface mass balance processes in East Antarctica

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Nander Wever, Francesco Comola, Eric Sauvageat

In Antarctica, direct observations of key processes shaping the surface mass balance such as precipitation and snow deposition, wind transport of snow, and sublimation, are sparse due to the extreme environment and related difficulties in measuring the var ...

Detecting nanoscale vibrations as signature of life

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Francesco Simone Ruggeri, Petar Stupar

The existence of life in extreme conditions, in particular in extraterrestrial environments, is certainly one of the most intriguing scientific questions of our time. In this report, we demonstrate the use of an innovative nanoscale motion sensor in life-s ...

Robust production of purified H-2 in a stable, self-regulating, and continuously operating solar fuel generator

Sophia Haussener, Miguel Antonio Modestino

The development of practical solar-driven electrochemical fuel generators requires the integration of light absorbing and electrochemical components into an architecture that must also provide easy separation of the product fuels. Unfortunately, many of th ...

Fe(III) reduction during pyruvate fermentation by Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Julien Maillard, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia

Desulfotomaculum reducens MI-1 is a Gram-positive, sulfate-reducing bacterium also capable of reducing several metals, among which is Fe(III). Very limited knowledge is available on the potential mechanism(s) of metal reduction among Gram-positive bacteria ...

Extreme events in total ozone over Arosa---Part 2: Fingerprints of atmospheric dynamics and chemistry and effects on mean values and long-term changes

Anthony Christopher Davison

In this study the frequency of days with extreme low (termed ELOs) and extreme high (termed EHOs) total ozone values and their influence on mean values and trends are analyzed for the world's longest total ozone record (Arosa, Switzerland). The results sho ...
