At what spatial scale does natural selection operate? Using multiscale frameworks to calibrate the effects of environmental factors across landscape continuums

Patterns in nature arise from processes interacting across a continuum of spatial scales, where new relationships emerge at each level of investigation. These patterns are nested features encompassing fine-scale local patterns, such as topography and geolo ...

Enhancement of brain atlases with region-specific coordinate systems: flatmaps and barrel column annotations

Michael Reimann, Armando Romani, Aleksandra Zuzanna Teska, Felix Schürmann, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Huanxiang Lu, Sirio Bolaños Puchet

Digital brain atlases define a hierarchy of brain regions and their locations in three-dimensional space. They provide a standard coordinate system in which diverse datasets can be integrated for visualization and analysis. They also enable building of dat ...

Mapping forest in the Swiss Alps treeline ecotone with explainable deep learning

Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger, Thiên-Anh Claris Nguyen

Forest maps are essential to understand forest dynamics. Due to the increasing availability of remote sensing data and machine learning models like convolutional neural networks, forest maps can these days be created on large scales with high accuracy. Com ...

Clustering and Informative Path Planning for 3D Gas Distribution Mapping: Algorithms and Performance Evaluation

Alcherio Martinoli, Chiara Ercolani, Lixuan Tang, Ankita Arun Humne

Chemical gas dispersion can represent a severe threat to human and animal lives, as well as to the environment. Constructing a map of the distribution of gas in a fast and reliable manner is critical to ensure accurate monitoring of at-risk facilities and ...

Mapping Active Site Geometry to Activity in Immobilized Frustrated Lewis Pair Catalysts

Rubén Laplaza Solanas, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Shubhajit Das, Jacob Terence Blaskovits

The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...

Inception of Regular Valley Spacing in Fluvial Landscapes: A Linear Stability Analysis

Sara Bonetti, Shashank Kumar Anand

Incipient valley formation in mountainous landscapes is often associated with their presence at a regular spacing under diverse hydroclimatic forcings. Here we provide a formal linear stability theory for a landscape evolution model (LEM) representing the ...

Method for flattening substrates or layers using 3d printing and etching

Niels Quack, Teodoro Graziosi, Marcell Kristof Kiss, Nathanaël Restori

The present invention concerns a layer or substrate flattening method comprising the steps of: - providing a layer or substrate (1) to be flattened; - measuring a topography or surface profile of at least one area (3) of the layer or substrate to be flatte ...

Introducing CRYOWRF v1.0: multiscale atmospheric flow simulations with advanced snow cover modelling

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Franziska Gerber

Accurately simulating snow-cover dynamics and the snow-atmosphere coupling is of major importance for topics as wide-ranging as water resources, natural hazards and climate change impacts with consequences for sea-level rise. We present a new modelling fra ...

The Advent of the 4D Mirror World

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo

The 4D Mirror World is considered to be the next planetary-scale information platform. This commentary gives an overview of the history of the converging trends that have progressively shaped this concept. It retraces how large-scale photographic surveys s ...

Three-dimensional wind-turbine wake characterization via tomographic particle-image velocimetry

Fernando Porté Agel, Arslan Salim Dar

Wind turbines are often sited on different topographical features. In the current work, we performed wind-tunnel measurements of the wake behind a single wind turbine sited on two escarpments differing in the windward side shape using tomographic particle- ...
