Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other environmental signals and influence Hg delivery to sedimentary records.

A model of piston impact and vibration for internal combustion engine noise reduction

Archives of Acoustics, 2016
In this paper a mathematical model is developed to study piston impact and cylinder liner vibration in internal combustion engines. The aim of this study is to assess the effect on cylinder liner response (and, therefore on piston-impact induced noise ...

Best practices for cryo-trapping time-resolved crystallography with the Spitrobot crystal plunger. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Capturing meta‐stable conformations of enzymes and ligand complexes demands structural snapshots beyond static crystal structures. While time‐resolved serial crystallography at room temperature offers a time‐resolution down to the femto‐second domain, it requires large amounts of micro crystals, specialized beamlines, and considerable ...

Real‐Time Fractional Control of an Electrohydraulic System Using Low‐Cost Technology

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in control methods for electrohydraulic systems (EHS) improve performance by addressing nonlinearities and unknown parameters, although most studies are limited to numerical simulations. Furthermore, research with experimental validation often relies on high‐performance computing equipment, specialized data acquisition cards, and ...

Analysis of Mechanical‐Electrical‐Hydraulic Coupled Vibration Response Characteristics of Thermal Control Circulating Pumps Supported by Water‐Lubricated Bearings

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The operational reliability of thermal control circulation pumps is significantly restricted by the multi‐physics coupled environment. To reveal the vibration transmission mechanisms and dynamic response characteristics under multi‐field coupled excitations, a multi‐DOF coupled dynamic representation of the overall system, incorporating the ...
