Determining how atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have changed during the history of the Earth [PDF]

, 2011
The reconstruction of ancient atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is essential to understanding the history of the Earth and life. It is also an important guide to identifying the sensitivity of the Earth system to this greenhouse gas and ...

Agents' Behavior and Interest Rate Model Optimization in DeFi Lending

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contrasting sharply with traditional money, bond, and bond futures markets, where interest rates emerge organically from participant interactions, DeFi lending platforms employ rule‐based interest rates that are algorithmically set. Thus, the selection of an effective interest rate model (IRM) is paramount for the success of a lending protocol.

Virocell Necromass Provides Limited Plant Nitrogen and Elicits Rhizosphere Metabolites That Affect Phage Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.

Low‐Head Dam Removal Restores Biofilm Structure but Not Function in a Temperate Stream

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Barrier removal is a common stream restoration practice aimed at restoring longitudinal connectivity, yet its effects on biofilm structure and function, through alteration of near‐bed hydrodynamics, remain unclear. Using a space‐for‐time substitution approach, we assessed how the presence and removal of a low‐head dam affect biofilm structure ...

IRM

, 2013
L’IRM est devenue une technique puissante dans le domaine de l’imagerie médicale ainsi qu’un outil de soins et de recherche d’où la construction d’un IRM à 11 Tesla au centre de neuro spin de CEA à SARCLAY. En effet cet appareil est devenu vital à la médecine moderne du fait qu’il est le seul moyen de détecter et de diagnostiquer certaines pathologies.

Combustion and Pyrolysis EA‐IRMS Techniques to Determine the δ2H of Diamonds

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 10, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Diamonds are generally considered to be metasomatic minerals originating from the Earth's mantle. They formed through the interaction of carbon‐bearing fluids or melts with the surrounding deep lithology. Most knowledge about the formation of diamonds comes from studying their mineral inclusions or stable isotopes.

Smart Contracts and SME Resilience: Business Model Adaptation and International Considerations

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Smart contracts (SCs), appended to a blockchain, protect digital environments and their resources, processes and structures, reducing mismatches between legal and actual rights and ownership. They enhance digital resilience by improving transparency, traceability and trust in digital transactions.

An improved narrower-diameter EA/IRMS method with a built-in desulfurization reactor: optimization for nitrogen and carbon measurement without sulfur matrix interference

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
Elemental analysis with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA/IRMS) is a widely used technique for stable isotope ratio analysis of nitrogen and carbon. Although the narrower-diameter EA/IRMS method developed to date has effectively enhanced sensitivity ...
