The design of a Space-borne multispectral canopy LiDAR to estimate global carbon stock and gross primary productivity [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding the dynamics of the global carbon cycle is one of the most challenging issues for the scientific community. The ability to measure the magnitude of terrestrial carbon sinks as well as monitoring the short and long term changes is vital for ...

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Discussion on the formulas used to calculate the dissolution rate by the rock tablet method
Carsologica SinicaThe dissolution rate of carbonate rocks is an important parameter for investigating the karst carbon cycle and evaluating the carbon sink effect; as well as a key indicator for studying karst development and karst hydrogeological problems.

Carbon Cycle Uncertainty in REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Characterisation of estimates of regional carbon budgets and processes is inherently a statistical task. In full form this means that almost all quantities used or produced are realizations or instances of probability distributions.

Ecosystem-driven karst carbon cycle and carbon sink effects
Journal of Groundwater Science and Engineering, 2022 It is recognized that karst processes are actively involved in the current global carbon cycle based on twenty years research, and the carbon sink occurred in karst processes is possibly an important part of “missing sink” in global carbon cycle. In this

Carbon-ammonia pairs for adsorption refrigeration applications : ice making, air conditioning and heat pumping [PDF]
, 2009 A thermodynamic cycle model is used to select an optimum adsorbent-refrigerant pair in respect of a chosen figure of merit that could be the cooling production (MJ m(-3)), the heating production (MJ m(-3)) or the coefficient of performance (COP).

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
