Inferring Water Table Depth Dynamics from ENVISAT-ASAR C-Band Backscatter over a Range of Peatlands from Deeply-Drained to Natural Conditions

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Water table depth (WTD) is one of the key variables controlling many processes in peatlands. Reliable WTD estimates based on remote sensing data would advance peatland research from global-scale climate monitoring to field-scale ecosystem management ...

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

The exposure of British peatlands to nitrogen deposition, 1900–2030 [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2014
Nitrogen (N) pollution from industry and intensive agriculture is one of the greatest threats to ecosystems globally. Peatland ecosystems are particularly sensitive to atmospheric pollution and Great Britain has both extensive peatlands and high levels ...

Predicting Vascular Plant Diversity in Anthropogenic Peatlands: Comparison of Modeling Methods with Free Satellite Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2017
Peatlands are ecosystems of great relevance, because they have an important number of ecological functions that provide many services to mankind. However, studies focusing on plant diversity, addressed from the remote sensing perspective, are still ...

Dynamics of viral abundance and diversity in a Sphagnum-dominated peatland: temporal fluctuations prevail over habitat

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Viruses impact microbial activity and carbon cycling in various environments, but their diversity and ecological importance in Sphagnum-peatlands are unknown.

Experimental Research on Environment Assistant Fatigue of Domestic SA-508-Ⅲ-1 Steel and Prediction Model Development for PWR Nuclear Power Plant

open access: yesYuanzineng kexue jishu
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued regulatory guideline RG 1.207 in 2007 and upgraded it in 2018, which not only requires the design of new nuclear power plants to consider the impact of coolant environment on the fatigue life of nuclear level 1

Influence of Fat Oil Binding Capacity on Shelf‐Life and Consumer Acceptance of a Chocolate‐Based Model System

open access: yesJournal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In chocolate‐coated products, oil migration can lead to chocolate softening and discoloration, filling hardening, and reduced consumer acceptance. This study examined three fats (soy‐, palm‐, and palm‐kernel (PK) based), crystallized under different conditions (cooling rate and high intensity ultrasound (HIU)) with differing oil binding ...

Carbon exchange over four growing seasons for a subarctic sedge fen in northern Manitoba, Canada

open access: yesArctic Science, 2015
Net ecosystem exchange of carbon was measured using eddy covariance for four growing seasons at a subarctic hummocky fen in northern Manitoba, Canada. Over a 115 day measurement period each year, cumulative net ecosystem exchange of carbon ranged from a ...

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.
