Utlekking av metall frå Leca Lettklinker

open access: yes, 2017
Two kinds of Leca (Light Expanded Clay Aggregate) balls, basis for bio-filter in treatment of grey water, were examined with respect to leaching of metals when in contact with deionized (DI) water and with water buffered to pH 4.0. Leaching of metals, investigated in a batch and a column experiment, respectively, formed the basis for an environmental ...

Altitudinal Zonation of Green Algae Biodiversity in the French Alps

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Mountain environments are marked by an altitudinal zonation of habitat types. They are home to a multitude of terrestrial green algae, who have to cope with abiotic conditions specific to high elevation, e.g., high UV irradiance, alternating desiccation,

Paying attention to other animal detections improves camera trap classification models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In ecological studies, automated species classification models are increasingly used to process large volumes of camera trap images. Most current classification models rely on a two‐step pipeline: a detector first locates and crops animals, followed by a classifier that predicts species independently for each crop.

Sugarcane nutrition under organomineral fertilizer, phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria, and reduced phosphate doses

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Deltamethrin and transfluthrin select for distinct transcriptomic responses in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2023
Background The widespread use of pyrethroid insecticides in Africa has led to the development of strong resistance in Anopheles mosquitoes. Introducing new active ingredients can contribute to overcome this phenomenon and ensure the effectiveness of ...

Colonization and extinction lags drive non‐linear responses to warming in mountain plant communities across the Northern Hemisphere

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global warming is changing plant communities due to the arrival of new species from warmer regions and declining abundance of cold‐adapted species. However, experimentally testing predictions about trajectories and rates of community change is challenging because we normally lack an expectation for future community composition, and most warming ...

In search of lost introns

open access: yes, 2007
Many fundamental questions concerning the emergence and subsequent evolution of eukaryotic exon-intron organization are still unsettled. Genome-scale comparative studies, which can shed light on crucial aspects of eukaryotic evolution, require adequate ...

Motivations for innovation in the built environment: new directions for research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Innovation in the built environment involves multiple actors with diverse motivations. Policy-makers find it difficult to promote changes that require cooperation from these numerous and dispersed actors and to align their sometimes divergent interests ...

Performance Enhancement of Lightweight Concrete Using Surface-Modified Light-weight Expanded Clay Aggregate: A Comparative Experimental Study

open access: yesJournal of Studies in Science and Engineering
Lightweight concrete (LWC) is gaining widespread use for its combined structural efficiency and thermal performance. However, Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA), though advantageous, exhibits high porosity and poor bonding with the cement paste ...

Using Edible Plant and Lightweight Expanded Clay Aggregate (LECA) to Strengthen the Thermal Performance of Extensive Green Roofs in Subtropical Urban Areas

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Gazing at natural landscapes and participating in agricultural activities can elicit psychophysiological restoration. However, most buildings are constructed merely to meet the minimum legal requirements for structure weight load.
