Riparian wetland properties counter the effect of land-use change on soil carbon stocks after rainforest conversion to plantations

Progressive conversion of tropical rainforests to agricultural monocultures in South East Asia increasingly affects landscape types such as riparian areas. The impacts of conversions on soil organic matter (SOM) vary with changing landforms. However, this ...

The role of immune effectors in controlling Drosophila-microbes interactions

Alice Marra

All live beings are in constant interaction with microorganisms that may be beneficial, deleterious or commensal. Insects in particular live in close contact with microorganisms. This is especially true for species, like the fruit fly Drosophila melanogast ...

Distributed Design for Decentralized Control using Chordal Decomposition and ADMM

Maryam Kamgarpour

We propose a distributed design method for decentralized control by exploiting the underlying sparsity properties of the problem. Our method is based on chordal decomposition of sparse block matrices and the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADM ...

Increasing temperature and decreasing specific leaf area amplify centipede predation impact on Collembola

Mathieu Raymond Santonja

Collembola is an abundant group of soil organisms playing a major role on litter decomposition process and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Habitat structure strongly influences Collembola assemblages as plant litter physical characteristics and quan ...

A Lagrangian relaxation technique for the demand-based benefit maximization problem

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque, Bernard Gendron

The integration of discrete choice models with Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models provides a better understanding of customers' preferences to operators while planning for their systems. However, the formulations associated with the former are ...

A Lagrangian relaxation technique for the demand-based benefit maximization problem

Michel Bierlaire, Shadi Sharif Azadeh, Virginie Janine Camille Lurkin, Meritxell Pacheco Paneque, Bernard Gendron

Discrete choice models are the state-of-the-art of demand modeling at the disaggregate level. Their integration with Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models provides a better understanding of customers' preferences to operators while planning for t ...

Tomography-based radiative characterisation of decomposing carbonaceous heat shield materials

Sophia Haussener, Pénélope Leyland, Nikhil Banerji

This work evaluates the changes in radiative properties of two decomposing carbonaceous porous materials, each composed of two semitransparent, homogeneous and isotropic phases. The understanding of the complex dependence of macroscopic optical behaviour o ...

Subordinate plants mitigate drought effects on soil ecosystem processes by stimulating fungi

Alexandre Buttler, Pierre Rémi Mariotte, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek

The subordinate insurance hypothesis suggests that highly diverse communities contain greater numbers of subordinate species than less diverse communities. It has previously been reported that subordinate species can improve grassland productivity durin ...

Effects of endogeic earthworms on the soil organic matter dynamics and the soil structure in urban and alluvial soil materials

Pascal Turberg, Jean-Michel Gobat, Renée-Claire Le Bayon

Earthworms are considered as key actors of soil processes at different spatial and temporal scales and provide essential ecosystem services linked to climate regulation or primary production. However, little is known about their basic functional roles (e.g ...

Low Temperature Chemical Vapor Deposition Using Atomic Layer Deposition Chemistry

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Yury Kuzminykh, Michael Oliver Reinke

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques rely on high temperatures to activate the chemical decomposition of precursors on the substrate surface. Lower temperatures are applied in atomic layer deposition (ALD), where deliberate pyrolysis of the precursor ...
