Large eddy simulation of near-surface boundary layer dynamics over patchy snow

Frontiers in Earth Science
The near-surface boundary layer over patchy snow is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Layers of opposing stability coexist within only a few horizontal meters. Conventional experimental methods to investigate this layer suffer from limitations related to

Bayesian State Space Modeling of Physical Processes in Industrial Hygiene

, 2018
Exposure assessment models are deterministic models derived from physical-chemical laws. In real workplace settings, chemical concentration measurements can be noisy and indirectly measured.

Effects of Development Finance on Energy Transitions and Green Growth in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While global agendas promote energy transition and green growth, Africa south of the Sahara (SSA) struggles with low energy access, highlighting a development paradox between climate goals and energy poverty. By aligning aid and development finance with SDGs 7 and 13, we analyze whether development finance is at a crossroads in supporting ...

Interpreting CO2 Fluxes Over a Suburban Lawn: The Influence of Traffic Emissions [PDF]

, 2018
Turf-grass lawns are ubiquitous in the United States. However direct measurements of land-atmosphere fluxes using the eddy-covariance method above lawn ecosystems are challenging due to the typically small dimensions of lawns and the heterogeneity of ...

Misalignment in Carbon Credit Programmes: Insights From Producer Preferences for Cover Crop and No‐Till Contracts

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the factors influencing producer adoption of cover cropping and no‐till farming, two key carbon sequestration practices, within the context of voluntary carbon credit programmes (CCPs) in Kansas. Using a mixed‐methods survey that combines discrete choice experiments with farm‐level data from 370 producers, we estimate ...

First assessment of the plant phenology index (PPI) for estimating gross primary productivity in African semi-arid ecosystems

, 2019
The importance of semi-arid ecosystems in the global carbon cycle as sinks for CO2 emissions has recently been highlighted. Africa is a carbon sink and nearly half its area comprises arid and semi-arid ecosystems.

Refining the Vertebrate Mitochondrial 12S rRNA Secondary Structure by Comparative Analysis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This flowchart outlines the comprehensive workflow of the study, integrating diverse bioinformatics tools (e.g., NCBI2GO, SSU‐align, bpRNA) and their sequential interactions. Key steps, such as data preprocessing, structural prediction, and evolutionary analysis, are depicted with their respective outputs (e.g., standardized records, consensus ...

neonSoilFlux: An R package for continuous sensor‐based estimation of soil CO2 fluxes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of soil carbon fluxes is essential to reduce uncertainty in estimates of the terrestrial carbon sink. However, these fluxes vary over time and across ecosystem types and so, it can be difficult to estimate them accurately across large scales.

Style Brush: Guided Style Transfer for 3D Objects

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce Style Brush, a guided 3D style‐transfer method for textured meshes that provides precise creative control. It supports the use of multiple style images, smooth transitions and intuitive guidance, producing visually appealing textures that follow user intent as we demonstrate in our user study and results. Abstract We introduce Style Brush,

Relationships between chick vocalizations and parental absence in Kentish Plovers

Ibis, EarlyView.
Chick calls within bird species vary greatly, often in relation to whether parents are present. We studied chick calls in a nidifugous shorebird, the Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, in three circumstances—(1) on the nest with parental presence; (2) on the nest with parental absence; and (3) out‐of‐nest with human observer presence—and ...
