Mapping the density of giant trees in the Amazon

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Tall trees (height ≥ 60 m) are keystone elements of tropical forests, strongly influencing biodiversity, carbon storage, and ecosystem resilience. Yet, their density and spatial distribution remain poorly quantified, especially in remote Amazonian regions, limiting our understanding of their ecological roles and contribution to forest–climate ...

Review of the Lightning Strike Incident at Launch Complex 37 on July 27, 1967, and Comparison to a Gemini Lightning Strike [PDF]

, 1967
The Launch Complex 37 lightning strike of July 27, 1967, was reviewed and compared to a similar incident on the Gemini Program. Available data indicate little likelihood of damaging currents having been present in SA-204 Launch Vehicle or the ground ...

Glucuronoyl Esterase of Pathogenic Phanerochaete carnosa Induces Immune Responses in Aspen Independently of Its Enzymatic Activity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial enzymes expressed in plants add new functionalities but occasionally trigger undesirable immune responses. Phanerochaete carnosa glucuronoyl esterase (PcGCE) hydrolyses the bond between lignin and 4‐O‐methyl‐α‐D‐glucuronic acid substituent of glucuronoxylan.

Laws and Reasons Why

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Laws play some role in explanations: at the very least, they somehow connect what is explained, or the explanandum, to what explains, or the explanans. Thus, thermodynamical laws connect the match's being struck and its lightning, so that the former causes the latter; and laws about set formation connect Socrates' existence with {Socrates}'s ...

But thinking makes it so: How bad attitudes can make discriminatory actions wrong

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In general, otherwise permissible actions do not become wrong when agents act on bad attitudes. But cases of discrimination can be exceptions to this generalization. It could “be morally permissible for someone to rent her house to any one of several prospective tenants but not morally permissible to refuse to rent it to one of those people ...

Application of tower grounding device equivalent model in the calculation of transmission line back-flashover

The Journal of Engineering, 2018
The modelling of tower grounding device is the key for calculation of lightning strike response and lightning withstand level. In order to solve this problem, this study proposes a method to calculate the lightning response of transmission line grounding

Transition in dynamic events: The 2020 lightning complex fires in Northern California as an adaptive system

Risk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from one level of operations to a next larger, more complex level while maintaining coherence as a system has stymied organizational theorists for decades. Drawing on systems theory, network analysis, and collaborative governance, we explore how networks adapt during rapidly escalating crises.
