The Thickness of Talus Deposits in the Periglacial Area of SW Spitsbergen (Fugleberget Mountainside) in the Light of Slope Development Theories

open access: yesLand, 2022
Periglacial slopes are susceptible to recent climate change. The rate of morphogenetic processes depends on numerous factors. The most important of these is the warming of the air and ground, increased precipitation (extreme rainfall in particular), and ...

On the Solar System-Debris Disk Connecction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper emphasizes the connection between solar and extra-solar debris disks: how models and observations of the Solar System are helping us understand the debris disk phenomenon, and vice versa, how debris disks are helping us place our Solar System into context.

Prediction of spatial distribution of debris-flow hit probability considering the source-location uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Prediction of the extent and probability of debris flow under rainfall conditions can contribute to precautionary activities through risk quantification. To this end, quantifying the debris-flow risk against rainfall involves three components: predicting the debris-flow initiation locations under rainfall conditions, setting appropriate physical ...

Space debris

open access: yesScholarpedia, 2011
Space debris are all man made objects including fragments and elements thereof, in Earth orbit or re-entering the atmosphere, that are non functional. This widely accepted official definition was adopted by the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC), an international governmental forum for the worldwide coordination of activities ...

Modelling the relative risk of plastic pollution to wildlife when data are scarce: an applied approach in the Mekong and Ganges river basins

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Plastic pollution of aquatic ecosystems is a growing environmental problem. Most plastic pollution originates from land-based sources and is transported via rivers, where plastic densities can exceed those at sea.

The solution supramolecular structure of α2 → 8 polysialic acid suggests a structural cause for its low immunogenicity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
α2 → 8 polysialic acid elicits poor immunogenicity. Small‐angle scattering shows a supramolecular structure with parallel‐chain binding, although in different forms at μm and mm calcium. The major histocompatibility complex requires molecular weights around 2000 Da to produce antibodies, and 2000 Da polysialic oligomers will bind in these structures ...

Monitoring litter on Arctic and subarctic shorelines: current status and next steps for monitoring programs

open access: yesArctic Science, 2023
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous, and the Arctic is no exception. One important step to understand the extent of the problem, and to monitor its impact is to have repeatable, comparable, and relevant measures across time and space that allow for the ...
