Renormalizing individual performance metrics for cultural heritage management of sports records

Individual performance metrics are commonly used to compare players from different eras. However, such cross-era comparison is often biased due to significant changes in success factors underlying player achievement rates (e.g. performance enhancing drugs ...

Investigation of subglacial weathering under the Greenland Ice Sheet using silicon isotopes

Subglacial chemical weathering plays a key role in global silicate weathering budgets, contributing to the cycling of silicon (Si) in terrestrial and marine systems and the potential drawdown of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Here, we use data from tw ...

Strongly lensed SNe Ia in the era of LSST: observing cadence for lens discoveries and time-delay measurements

Frédéric Courbin, Hung-Hsu Chan, Vivien François Bonvin

The upcoming Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will detect many strongly lensed Type Ia supernovae (LSNe Ia) for time-delay cosmography. This will provide an independent and direct way for measuring the Hubble constant H0, which is necessary to addres ...

Resolving biogeochemical processes in lakes using remote sensing

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Theo Baracchini, Vincent Maurice Nouchi

Remote sensing helps foster our understanding of inland water processes allowing a synoptic view of water quality parameters. In the context of global monitoring of inland waters, we demonstrate the benefit of combining in-situ water analysis, hydrodynamic ...

Towards novel glazing with seasonal dynamics based on micro compound parabolic concentrators

André Gabriel Kostro, Josef Andreas Schuler, Jing Gong

Thermal loss and overheating caused by glazing is a key issue in reducing CO2 emission and energy consumption of buildings. A novel glazing based on micro compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) is proposed. The glazing consists of a polymer layer with emb ...

Influence of slope-scale snowmelt on catchment response simulated with the Alpine3D model

Michael Lehning, Wolf Hendrik Huwald, Ernesto Trujillo Gomez, Tristan Jonas Brauchli

Snow and hydrological modeling in alpine environments remains challenging because of the complexity of the processes affecting the mass and energy balance. This study examines the influence of snowmelt on the hydrological response of a high-alpine catchmen ...

Asymmetric effects of cooler and warmer winters on beech phenology last beyond spring

Alexandre Buttler, Rodolphe Schlaepfer, Yann Vitasse, Constant Signarbieux, María Paula Sanginés De Cárcer, Ester Toledano Díaz

In temperate trees, the timings of plant growth onset and cessation affect biogeochemical cycles, water, and energy balance. Currently, phenological studies largely focus on specific phenophases and on their responses to warming. How differently spring phe ...

Spatial estimates of snow water equivalent from reconstruction

Annelen Kahl

Operational ground-based measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) do not adequately explain spatial variability in mountainous terrain. To address this problem, we combine satellite-based retrievals of fractional snow cover for the period 2000 to 2011 w ...

Potential advantages of a multifunctional complex fenestration system with embedded micro-mirrors in daylighting

Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Ali Motamed, Jing Gong

Proper daylighting designs in interior spaces may reduce the energy costs of electric lighting and improve the productivity of occupants. This paper reports the potential advantages of a multifunctional complex fenestration system with embedded micro-mirro ...

Seasonal and diurnal cycles of liquid water in snow—Measurements and modeling

Nander Wever

Evaluating and improving snow models and outflow predictions for hydrological applications is hindered by the lack of continuous data on bulk volumetric liquid water content (θw) and storage capacity of the melting snowpack. The combination of upward looki ...
