Mining Effective Strategies for Climate Change Communication
Matthias Grossglauser, Aswin Suresh, Yurui Zhu, Lazar Milikic
With the goal of understanding effective strategies to communicate about climate change, we build interpretable models to rank tweets related to climate change with respect to the engagement they generate. Our models are based on the Bradley-Terry model of ...
2023Some Results of the EU Project FASTGRID
The EU FASTGRID project aimed at improving the REBCO conductor in order to enhance its economical attractiveness for the Superconducting Fault Current Limiter (SFCL). Two approaches were simultaneously investigated: i) the reduction of the tape length thro ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Biostimulation as a sustainable solution for acid neutralization and uranium immobilization post acidic in-situ recovery
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Thomas Coral
Major uranium (U) deposits worldwide are exploited by acid leaching, known as 'in-situ recovery' (ISR). ISR involves the injection of an acid fluid into ore-bearing aquifers and the pumping of the resulting metal-containing solution through cation exchange ...
2022Changing atmospheric acidity as a modulator of nutrient deposition and ocean biogeochemistry
Anthropogenic emissions to the atmosphere have increased the flux of nutrients, especially nitrogen, to the ocean, but they have also altered the acidity of aerosol, cloud water, and precipitation over much of the marine atmosphere. For nitrogen, acidity-d ...
AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE2021High-resolution cryo-EM structure of urease from the pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Jasenko Zivanov
Urease converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide and makes urea available as a nitrogen source for all forms of life except animals. In human bacterial pathogens, ureases also aid in the invasion of acidic environments such as the stomach by raising th ...
2020Active sulfur cycling in the terrestrial deep subsurface
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian
The deep terrestrial subsurface remains an environment where there is limited understanding of the extant microbial metabolisms. At Olkiluoto, Finland, a deep geological repository is under construction for the final storage of spent nuclear fuel. It is th ...
2020Investigation of Biogenic Passivating Layers on Corroded Iron
This study evaluates mechanisms of biogenic mineral formation induced by bacterial iron reduction for the stabilization of corroded iron. As an example, the Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain TCE1 was employed to treat corroded coupons presenting urban na ...
2020Iron-coated polymer films with high antibacterial activity under indoor and outdoor light, prepared by different facile pre-treatment and deposition methods
César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Ania Schärer
In the present work, we study the fabrication of self-cleaning antibacterial surfaces, active under indoor or outdoor light. In order to obtain the highest activity with the lowest complexity we assess mild conditions of preparation (temperatures), pre-tre ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Thomas Coral
A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...
2018Impact of CO2 injection on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a clay-rich caprock
Lyesse Laloui, Valentina Favero
The safe storage of CO2 in deep reservoir units requires an efficient sealing of the overlaying caprock. The acidic environment caused by the dissolution of CO2 into the pore fluid can induce changes in the microstructure of the material over the long term ...
