Robust gamma-aminobutyric acid and energy metabolism measurements by proton and phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy and fingerprinting
Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the only technique that can detect endogenous metabolites directly and non-invasively in vivo. It allows to identify different metabolites and analyze the dynamic neurochemical processes in the brain, skeletal muscl ...
EPFL2023Active anaerobic methane oxidation and sulfur disproportionation in the deep terrestrial subsurface
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Emma Bell, Chen Qian
Microbial life is widespread in the terrestrial subsurface and present down to several kilometers depth, but the energy sources that fuel metabolism in deep oligotrophic and anoxic environments remain unclear. In the deep crystalline bedrock of the Fennosc ...
2022The Role of Biochar and Peatlands in Reaching Swiss Net Zero
Jean-André Tony Davy-Guidicelli
This master thesis explores the role of Biochar production and Peatlands renaturation as Nature-based solutions to reach Swiss Net Zero by 2050, by analyzing the historical, socio-economic context, and the scientific phenomena behind these topics. It aimed ...
2022Quantitative modeling of human metabolism: A call for a community effort
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Maria Masid Barcon
Metabolism is the process by which cells and organisms obtain nutrients and energy to perform their functions. In the last years, many human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiac diseases, have been associated with altered metabolism. Understan ...
2021Data mining in the context of urban metabolism: A case study of Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland
Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Aristide Henri Roger Athanassiadis, Nicole Sophie Wiedmann
The highest share of the global population lives in cities. The current configuration of the latter requires considerable amounts of resource flows causing the degradation of local and global ecosystems. To face the complexity of these challenges, scientis ...
IOP PUBLISHING LTD2021Modeling of Stream Metabolism from Reach-scale to the Scale of Entire River Networks
Streams are key components of the global carbon (C) cycle. The river network conceptualization moved from the
EPFL2021pipelineâ idea, in which C is solely transported, to the active ecosystemâ concept, in which both terrestrial derived and autochthonous C ...Modeling the coupled dynamics of stream metabolism and microbial biomass
Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pier Luigi Segatto
Estimating and interpreting ecosystem metabolism remains an important challenge in stream ecology. Here, we propose a novel approach to model, estimate, and predict multiseasonal patterns of stream metabolism (gross primary production [GPP] and ecosystem r ...
