Homogeneous Environmental Selection Structures the Bacterial Communities of Benthic Biofilms in Proglacial Floodplain Streams
Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Tyler Joe Kohler, Jade Brandani, Stylianos Fodelianakis
Streams draining proglacial floodplains harbor benthic biofilms comprised of diverse microbial communities. These high-mountain ecosystems are rapidly changing with climate warming, and it is therefore critical to better understand the mechanisms underlyin ...
AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY2023Urbanization Paradigm Shift in China’s Mountain Areas Driven by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics: Financialized Ecological Civilization and Cultural Consumption
Mengke Zhang, Thierry Marcel Theurillat
This presentation aims to explore the paradoxical interrelationships between land financialization and ecological civilization, using a Chinese case of mountain urbanization driven by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Chongli, which is only 200 kilometers ...
2023Science on the Summit: Exploring Scientific Tourism Through the Lens of Eighteenth Century Mountain Ascents
Jérôme Baudry, Ion-Gabriel Mihailescu, Simon François Dumas Primbault
This contribution argues that a particular scientific context made summits a place of interest for eighteenth-century travelers. This development is connected to two particular scientific practices. First, the challenges raised by making the barometer into ...
2022The invention of the Swiss house: engineers, ethnographers and artists to the discovery of the Alpine vernacular construction / L’invenzione della casa svizzera: ingegneri, etnografi e artisti alla scoperta della costruzione vernacolare alpina
At the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900, Switzerland presented itself to the world by exhibiting an imaginary synthetic village, making the conflicting features of the various Cantons – which for a few decades gathered under the flag of the Confederat ...
2021Grounding Resistance of a Hemispheric Electrode Located on the Top of a Finite-Height, Cone-Shaped Mountain
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami
In this letter, we present an analytical solution for the resistance of a hemispheric grounding electrode located on the top of a mountain. The mountain is modeled as a truncated cone with a finite height. Recently, a closed-form solution for the grounding ...
2020Monitoring biodiversity in the Anthropocene using remote sensing in species distribution models
In the face of the growing challenges brought about by human activities, effective planning and decision-making in biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, restoration, and sustainable development are urgently needed. Ecological models can play a key role ...
2020Calculation of the Grounding Resistance of Structures Located on Elevated Terrain
Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga
We present an analysis of the response of a grounding electrode located on the top of a mountain. Specifically, we derive an analytical solution for the low-frequency response of a hemispheric grounding electrode buried on the top of a cone-shaped mountain ...
