A Numerical Implementation of a Nonlinear Mild Slope Model for Shoaling Directional Waves

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2014
We describe the numerical implementation of a phase-resolving, nonlinear spectral model for shoaling directional waves over a mild sloping beach with straight parallel isobaths.

Ecological Links between Pelagic and Mesophotic Reef Fishes in an Oceanic Archipelago of the Equatorial Atlantic Ocean

Diversity, 2022
Geographic isolation, a relatively low species richness and high endemism make oceanic islands excellent natural laboratories for ecological and evolutionary studies.

Estimating the magnitude and sensitivity of energy fluxes for stickleback hosts and Schistocephalus solidus parasites using the metabolic theory of ecology

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Parasites are ubiquitous, yet their effects on hosts are difficult to quantify and generalize across ecosystems. One promising metric of parasitic impact uses the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) to calculate energy flux, an estimate of energy lost to ...

Influence of the upper gravity-wave damping layer on precipitation over complex terrain

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The upper boundary condition of a numerical model can significantly influence the model prediction results. This study used the Weather Research and Forecasting model to introduce the Rayleigh damping layer in the complex terrain of southern Gansu, China.

Photosynthetic Temperature Tolerance Threshold Determines How Isoprene Emission is Affected by Elevated CO2 Concentration at High Temperatures

Plant-Environment Interactions
The suppression of isoprene emissions by high CO2 levels can be mitigated by increasing temperature; however, little is known about why and to what extent species differ in their temperature‐dependent release from high CO2 inhibition.

Experimental analysis for thermodynamic characteristics of municipal solid waste for energy generati

Journal of Thermal Engineering, 2023
Excessive energy use has caused a disturbance in the planet’s life support system. It has created an adverse impact on water and natural resources. Power generation from solid waste can be an alternative to reduce waste volume and has an extra advantage ...

Weather types and soil moisture modulate surface energy partitioning in a subtropical CAM pineapple field

Frontiers in Plant Science
Surface energy partitioning governs canopy thermal conditions and water use by determining how available energy is dissipated as latent versus sensible heat.

Effect of Environmental Conditions on Copepod Size Structure and Energy Flux in the Pelagic Ecosystem of the Kuril Islands Region

Biology
Spatial and vertical variations in copepod abundance, carbon biomass, and size spectra are analyzed to elucidate the effects that the highly variable oceanographic conditions of the environment around the Kuril Islands exerted on the copepod size ...

Special issue in honour of Prof. Reto J. Strasser - Development and aging of photosynthetic apparatus of Vitis vinifera L. during growing season

Photosynthetica, 2020
The aim of this study was to examine the development and aging of chosen grapevine leaves in situ during the growing season (130 d) using chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence measurements and determining the changes in pigment contents.
