Activation volume in microcellular aluminium: Size effects in thermally activated plastic flow

Open-pore 99.99% pure Al and Al-5 wt.% Mg foam produced by replication, with pores either 400 or 75 gm in average diameter, are tested in compression with repeated relaxation cycles, at room temperature. Similar data are collected on pure aluminium. Estima ...

Long-term dynamics of aboveground fungal communities in a subalpine Norway spruce forest under elevated nitrogen input

Rita Bütler Sauvain, François Gillet, Simon Egli

As anthropogenic N deposition has been suspected to be the main reason for the decline of macromycetous sporocarp production in forest ecosystems, various N-fertilization experiments were started in the mid 1990s. The dynamics of ectomycorrhizal (root-inha ...

New interpretation of the Haasen plot for solute-strengthened alloys

William Curtin

The Haasen plot (inverse activation area 1/Delta alpha vs. offset flow stress sigma-sigma(s)) for solute-strengthened alloys is usually assumed additive, 1/Delta alpha = 1/Delta alpha(s) + 1/Delta alpha(f), with 1/Delta alpha(f) similar to beta(sigma-sigma ...

A near-annual palaeohydrological study based on testate amoebae from a sub-alpine mire: surface wetness and the role of climate during the instrumental period

Edward Mitchell, Mariusz Lamentowicz

We present the first testate amoeba-based palaeohydrological reconstruction from the Swiss Alps, and the first depth to the water table (DWT) calibration data-set for this region. Compared to existing models, our new calibration data set performs well (RMS ...

Génération multi-sites de variables météorologiques horaires en zone alpine

Abdelkader Mezghani

Water resources management and hydrological risks are based, to a large extent, on our competence to generate relevant hydrological scenarios under present and future climatic situations. In alpine areas, characterized by highly complex topography, the ava ...

Competitive effects of herbaceous vegetation on tree seedling emergence, growth and survival: does gap size matter?

Alexandre Buttler, Charlotte Vandenberghe, François Frelechoux

Question: What is the effect of gap size on the seedling emergence, growth and survival of four common tree species in wooded pastures? Location: A pasture in the Jura mountains, Switzerland. Methods: Seeds were sown in a complete three-way factorial desig ...

Tool for robust stochastic parsing using optimal maximum coverage

Martin Rajman, Jean-Cédric Chappelier

This report presents a robust syntactic parser that is able to return a "correct" derivation tree even if the grammar cannot generate the input sentence. The following two step solution is prop osed: the finest corresponding most probable optimal maximum c ...

Climate change and Arctic ecosystems: 1. Vegetation changes north of 55 degrees N between the last glacial maximum, mid-Holocene, and present

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Verena Wolf

A unified scheme to assign pollen samples to vegetation types was used to reconstruct vegetation patterns north of 55°N at the last glacial maximum (LGM) and mid-Holocene (6000 years B.P.). The pollen data set assembled for this purpose represents a compre ...

Succession from bog pine (Pinus uncinata var. rotundata) to Norway spruce (Picea abies) stands in relation to anthropic factors in Les Saignolis bog, Jura Mountains, Switzerland

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Jean-Michel Gobat, François Frelechoux

In Jura bogs, on deep and nutrient-poor peat, the ecotone between bog pine forest and Norway spruce forest is sharp and, in a few disturbed situations, no succession pine forest-spruce forest occurs. The bog Les Saignolis lies at the top of an anticline, o ...

Climate change and Arctic ecosystems: 2. Modeling, paleodata-model comparisons, and future projections

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Large variations in the composition, structure, and function of Arctic ecosystems are determined by climatic gradients, especially of growing-season warmth, soil moisture, and snow cover. A unified circumpolar classification recognizing five types of tundr ...
