Dermal stiffness governs the topography of the epidermis and the underlying basement membrane in young and old human skin

Aging Cell
Abstract The epidermis is a stratified epithelium that forms the outer layer of the skin. It is composed primarily of keratinocytes and is constantly renewed by the proliferation of stem cells and their progeny that undergo terminal differentiation as they leave the basal layer and migrate to the skin surface. Basal keratinocytes rest

Importance of the interplay between land cover and topography in modeling habitat selection

Ecological Indicators
Anthropogenic land cover change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of organisms. Therefore, identifying and safeguarding optimal land covers for declining organisms is a major challenge of the Anthropocene.

Wind and Topography Underlie Correlation Between Seasonal Snowpack, Mountain Glaciers, and Late-Summer Streamflow

The Cryosphere
Abstract. In a warming climate, net mass loss from perennial snow and ice (PSI) contributes a temporary source of unsustainable streamflow. However, the role of topography and wind in mediating the streamflow patterns of deglaciating watersheds is unknown.

Geophysical flows over topography, a playground for laboratory experiments

Comptes Rendus. Physique
Physicists face major challenges in modelling multi-scale phenomena that are observed in geophysical flows (e.g. in the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere, or liquid planetary cores).

Motion of Adsorbed Nano-Particles on Azobenzene Containing Polymer Films

Molecules, 2016
We demonstrate in situ recorded motion of nano-objects adsorbed on a photosensitive polymer film. The motion is induced by a mass transport of the underlying photoresponsive polymer material occurring during irradiation with interference pattern.

Gust Factor of Typhoon in the South China Sea: Based on Data From a Small Island

Meteorological Applications
Current research on gust (GF) and peak (g) factors has mainly focused on landfalling typhoons, whereas studies related to offshore typhoons are relatively rare. They are critical in island architectural design. However, the underlying surfaces of islands

Multiscale structural complexity assessment of coral reefs using underwater photogrammetry.

PLoS ONE
Understanding the structural complexity of coral reefs is essential for assessing their condition, biodiversity, and resilience. Traditional methods commonly use a rugosity index based on the chain method, which overlooks the underlying structure of ...

A Modeling Study of the Impacts of 3-Dimensional Topography on Shallow-Convective Clouds

Atmosphere
Shallow-convective clouds (SCCs) play important roles in the Earth’s atmospheric system by affecting radiative balance, large-scale circulation, and transport of pollutants. It is common sense that topography exerts substantial impacts on SCCs.

Sex-Specific Responses of Sexual Reproduction, Clonal Reproduction, and Vegetative Growth to Environmental (Biotic and Abiotic) Factors in the Clonal Dioecious Plant Acer barbinerve

Plants
Sexual dimorphism in dioecious plants serves as a critical adaptive strategy in complex environments. This study systematically investigated the effects of topographic factors (elevation, slope, aspect, and convexity), soil nutrients (C, N, P), and ...
