The climate impact of aerosols on the lightning flash rate: is it detectable from long-term measurements?

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018
. The effect of aerosols on lightning has been noted in many case studies, but much less is known about the long-term impact, relative importance of dynamics–thermodynamics versus aerosol, and any difference by different types of aerosols.

Wild‐Derived House Mice (Mus musculus) Are Able to Cope With a Constant Light Environment

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exposure to altered nighttime lighting conditions has become common in today's modern world. Light at night disrupts circadian processes that govern feeding patterns, sleep/wake cycles, and metabolic homoeostasis, increasing the risk of developing pathologies associated with cardiometabolic disease. Yet, the underlying mechanism(s) responsible

Lightning enhancement over major oceanic shipping lanes

, 2017
Using 12 years of high‐resolution global lightning stroke data from the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), we show that lightning density is enhanced by up to a factor of 2 directly over shipping lanes in the northeastern Indian Ocean and the

Observations of narrow bipolar events reveal how lightning is initiated in thunderstorms

Nature Communications, 2016
A long-standing but fundamental question in lightning studies concerns how lightning is initiated inside storms, given the absence of physical conductors.

Hell's Itch: An Acute Reaction to Sunburn Exposure

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hell's itch is a neurocutaneous dysesthesia following sunburn that is underreported in scientific literature despite considerable discussion online. ‘Hell's itch’ describes an acute, uncontrollable itch with intense stabbing pain several days post‐sunburn and often follows an inciting event such as water exposure.

RTA‐408 Enhances Radiosensitivity and Inhibited Tumor Progression via JNK Pathway in Glioblastoma

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor with poor prognosis owing to its high invasiveness and resistance to therapy. RTA‐408, a synthetic triterpenoid and nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2 activator, exhibits anti‐inflammatory and anti‐cancer properties; however, its effects on GBM remain unclear. This study investigated the

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.
