The inFuence of drifting and blowing snow on surface (turbulent) mass- and energy exchange assessed with different methods

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Jérôme François Sylvain Dujardin, Franziska Gerber, Daniela Brito Melo, Armin Sigmund, Benjamin Andreas Walter

Drifting and blowing snow is a dominant process shaping snow-covered surfaces in particular in extreme environments such as high mountains or polar regions. Because the process is complicated to describe, as it covers scales from below 1 mm to several kilo ...

On the use of leaf water to determine plant water source: A proof of concept

Paolo Benettin

Source water apportionment studies using the dual isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen have revolutionized our understanding of ecohydrology. But despite these developments-mostly over the past decade-many technical problems still exist in terms of linking xyle ...

The design and synthesis of nanostructured hydrogen oxidation reaction electrocatalysts for hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cells

Weiyan Ni

Hydrogen fuel cell is a promising green technology that transforms the chemical energy in hydrogen into electricity. Currently, most of the efforts are focused on developing proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), however they are heavily dependent o ...

Quantification of hydrogen in nanostructured hydrogenated passivating contacts for silicon photovoltaics combining SIMS-APT-TEM: A multiscale correlative approach

Franz-Josef Haug, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Mario Joe Lehmann

Multiscale characterization of the hydrogenation process of silicon solar cell contacts based on c-Si/SiOx/ncSiCx(p) has been performed by combining dynamic secondary ion mass-spectrometry (D-SIMS), atom probe tomography (APT), and transmission electron mi ...

Following spatial A beta aggregation dynamics in evolving Alzheimer's disease pathology by imaging stable isotope labeling kinetics

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Melissa Kathleen Passarelli

beta-Amyloid (A beta) plaque formation is the major pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and constitutes a potentially critical, early inducer driving AD pathogenesis as it precedes other pathological events and cognitive symptoms by decades. ...

Technical note: Evaluation of a low-cost evaporation protection method for portable water samplers

Jana Freiin von Freyberg

Automated field sampling of streamwater or precipitation for subsequent analysis of stable water isotopes (H-2 and O-18) is often conducted with off-the-shelf automated samplers. However, when water samples are stored in the field for days and weeks in ope ...

Tree water deficit and dynamic source water partitioning

Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Benettin, Mitra Asadollahi

The stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen (delta H-2 and delta O-18, respectively) have been widely used to investigate tree water source partitioning. These tracers have shed new light on patterns of tree water use in time and space. However, there are s ...

Quantum kinetic energy and isotope fractionation in aqueous ionic solutions

Michele Ceriotti, Lu Wang

At room temperature, the quantum contribution to the kinetic energy of a water molecule exceeds the classical contribution by an order of magnitude. The quantum kinetic energy (QKE) of a water molecule is modulated by its local chemical environment and lea ...

Effect of fuel isotope mass on q-profile formation in JET hybrid plasmas

The initial current ramp phase of JET hybrid plasmas is used to optimise the target q-profile for main heating to allow access to high beta and avoid MHD instabilities. Mixed protium-deuterium experiments, carried out at JET since the installation of the b ...
