Mapping global lake dynamics reveals the emerging roles of small lakes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Lakes are important natural resources and carbon gas emitters and are undergoing rapid changes worldwide in response to climate change and human activities. A detailed global characterization of lakes and their long-term dynamics does not exist, which is

Evaporative water loss of 1.42 million global lakes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
The evaporative loss from global lakes (natural and artificial) is a critical component of the terrestrial water and energy balance. However, the evaporation volume of these water bodies—from the spatial distribution to the long-term trend—is as of yet ...

Microplastic pollution of worldwide lakes.

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2021
Studies on microplastic (MP) pollution in lakes are recent, although the problem of MP particles in the oceans was first discovered in the 1970s. The first study on lakes was published in 2011.

Annual 30 m dataset for glacial lakes in High Mountain Asia from 2008 to 2017

open access: yes, 2021
. Climate change is intensifying glacier melting and lake development in High Mountain Asia (HMA), which could increase glacial lake outburst flood hazards and impact water resource and hydroelectric power management.

Performance Evaluation of a CO2 Refrigeration System Enhanced with a Dew Point Cooler

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Dew point cooling (DPC) is a novel indirect evaporative cooling concept capable of delivering air temperatures approaching the dew point. Coupling this technology with CO2 refrigeration is well suited to minimising transcritical operation when the ...

Lakes in the era of global change: moving beyond single‐lake thinking in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services

open access: yesBiological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2020
The Anthropocene presents formidable threats to freshwater ecosystems. Lakes are especially vulnerable and important at the same time. They cover only a small area worldwide but harbour high levels of biodiversity and contribute disproportionately to ...

Position-dependent hearing in three species of bushcrickets (Tettigoniidae, Orthoptera) [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
A primary task of auditory systems is the localization of sound sources in space. Sound source localization in azimuth is usually based on temporal or intensity differences of sounds between the bilaterally arranged ears.

Contralateral Deafferentation Does Not Affect Regeneration Processes in the Auditory System of (Orthoptera)

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Neuroscience, 2011
The auditory system of locusts has high regeneration capacity following injury of the peripheral afferents. Regenerating auditory afferents can re-innervate their target areas even after changed neuronal pathways.

Trinity of Three-Dimensional (3D) Scaffold, Vibration, and 3D Printing on Cell Culture Application: A Systematic Review and Indicating Future Direction

open access: yesBioengineering, 2018
Cell culture and cell scaffold engineering have previously developed in two directions. First can be ‘static into dynamic’, with proven effects that dynamic cultures have benefits over static ones.
