Direct Non‐Thermal Corona Plasma Treatment in Air Pollution Control
Explore the potential of direct non‐thermal corona plasma treatment in air pollution control. Many reactor design possibilities and development of highly efficient power supplies make this already well‐established technology an advancing solution for more and more challenges in sustainable environmental management.

Salted Identities: Biocultural Heritage for a Rehumanized Ocean Management in South Africa
SUMMARY In this article, I discuss coastal and oceanic biocultural heritage and its relevance to a transformed perception of the ocean and coast in South Africa. An anthropology of biocultural heritage at the coast reveals the multidimensional nature of personhoods—specifically transspecies, trans‐material forms of personhood—and the rich dialogical ...

ABSTRACT Research in geocryology is currently principally concerned with the effects of climate change on permafrost terrain. The motivations for most of the research are (1) quantification of the anticipated net emissions of CO2 and CH4 from warming and thaw of near‐surface permafrost and (2) mitigation of effects on infrastructure of such warming and

ABSTRACT We present an innovative approach to understanding permafrost degradation processes through the application of new environment‐based particle image velocimetry (E‐PIV) to time‐lapse imagery and correlation with synchronous temperature and rainfall measurements.

ABSTRACT Starch accumulation in plants provides carbon for nighttime use, for regrowth after periods of dormancy, and for times of stress. Both ɑ‐ and β‐amylases (AMYs and BAMs, respectively) catalyze starch hydrolysis, but their functional roles are unclear.

Aminoisothiazolamides, a new class of potent inhibitors of lysyl‐tRNA synthetase
The present work covers a series of novel herbicidal lead structures that possess an aminoisothiazolamide scaffold as a structural key feature. Lysyl‐tRNA synthetase 1 (KRS1) was identified as the biochemical mode‐of‐action. Based on optimized and tailored synthetic approaches, a broader SAR study was carried out delivering some lead structures that ...

Regional sources and sinks of dust on Mars: Viking observations of Cerberus, Solis Planum and Syrtis Major [PDF]
A study of seasonal variations of albedo features in the Cerberus, Solis Planum, and Syrtis Major regions was based on Viking Orbiter data obtained over more than one complete Martian year.

Rain in convective downdraughts
This study presents results from the simulation of idealised, rain‐laden downdraughts using the large‐eddy model MONC. It is found that a drier environment has the effect of increasing cooling in the downdraught, but reducing the peak in downdraught speed.

Integrative biology of injury in animals
ABSTRACT Mechanical injury is a prevalent challenge in the lives of animals with myriad potential consequences for organisms, including reduced fitness and death. Research on animal injury has focused on many aspects, including the frequency and severity of wounding in wild populations, the short‐ and long‐term consequences of injury at different ...

ABSTRACT Large wood (LW) removal from streams is one of the most common river channel management activities and is often undertaken with little analysis of the impacts. A primary objective of LW removal is often flood risk reduction, but reports of actual flood reduction benefits have varied widely and were often anecdotal in nature.
