Holocene vegetation dynamics of Grande Terre (Kerguelen Islands) inferred from sedimentary ancient DNA

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...

Responses of primary producers, anoxia, and chemical feedback to Late Glacial climate change: Insights from a paired lake approach

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide, lacustrine ecosystems are threatened by eutrophication and deoxygenation. Both processes are driven by the combined effects of human activities and climate change. Understanding the pre‐anthropogenic nexus between warming, eutrophication, deoxygenation, and related feedback is essential to determine how lakes respond to rapid ...

Packing-Ring for Pistons.

open access: yes
Patent for packing ring for pistons, particularly of the type known as split rings, whereby when the ring is assembled on the piston and in the cylinder the split portion of the ring is transversely closed to prevent leakage of gases or ...

Mercury cycling during the last glacial period in Arctic Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tectonic processes play a key role in the global mercury (Hg) cycle on geological timescales, by mobilising Hg from deep Earth reservoirs to the surface. These natural fluxes also introduce a dynamic component to the terrestrial Hg cycle that can interact with other environmental signals and influence Hg delivery to sedimentary records.

Characterization and Repetition Rate Locking of a 1 GHz Erbium‐Doped ZBLAN Waveguide‐Chip Comb Laser

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A compact, erbium‐doped ZBLAN waveguide chip mode‐locked laser that self‐starts, delivers stable ultrashort pulses, and repetition rate locked to a 1 GHz radio‐frequency reference. The laser produces near transform‐limited 324 fs pulses and 12 nm bandwidth with low noise and long‐term stability, with potential applications in optical frequency ...

Real‐Time Fractional Control of an Electrohydraulic System Using Low‐Cost Technology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in control methods for electrohydraulic systems (EHS) improve performance by addressing nonlinearities and unknown parameters, although most studies are limited to numerical simulations. Furthermore, research with experimental validation often relies on high‐performance computing equipment, specialized data acquisition cards, and ...
