Optimizing management to conserve plant diversity and soil carbon stock of semi-arid grasslands on the Loess Plateau

Creator:: Chai, Qinglin, Ma, Zhanying, Chang, Xiaofeng, Wu, Gaolin, Zheng, Jiyong, Li, Zhongwu, and Wang, Guojie
Abstract:: Grassland recovery from degradation is increasingly occurring worldwide. Diverse managements have been considered as effective ways to restore degraded grassland, but it remains unclear how semi-arid grasslands respond to long-term grazing exclusion and fenced mowing. Here, a study was conducted under open grazing, grazing exclusion and fenced mowing in a...

Memory effects of climate and vegetation affecting net ecosystem CO2 fluxes in global forests

Creator:: Besnard, Simon, Carvalhais, Nuno, Arain, M. Altaf, Black, Andrew, Brede, Benjamin, Buchmann, Nina, Chen, Jiquan, Clevers, Jan G. P. W., Dutrieux, Loic P., Gans, Fabian, Herold, Martin, Jung, Martin, Kosugi, Yoshiko, Knohl, Alexander, Law, Beverly E., Paul-Limoges, Eugenie, Lohila, Annalea, Merbold, Lutz, Roupsard, Olivier, Valentini, Riccardo, Wolf, Sebastian, Zhang, Xudong, and Reichstein, Markus
Abstract:: Forests play a crucial role in the global carbon (C) cycle by storing and sequestering a substantial amount of C in the terrestrial biosphere. Due to temporal dynamics in climate and vegetation activity, there are significant regional variations in carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes between the biosphere and atmosphere in forests...

Regionally consistent Western North America paleomagnetic directions from 15 to 35 ka: Assessing chronology and uncertainty with paleosecular variation (PSV) stratigraphy

Creator:: Reilly, Brendan T., Stoner, Joseph S., Hatfield, Robert G., Abbott, Mark B., Marchetti, David W., Larsen, Darren J., Finkenbinder, Matthew S., Hillman, Aubrey L., Kuehn, Stephen C., and Heil, Clifford W., Jr.
Abstract:: New Paleomagnetic Secular Variation (PSV) data from Fish Lake, Utah, USA, along with previously published regional records, allow us to build an independently dated Western North America PSV stack (WNAM17) from about 35 to 15 ka that quantifies dating and paleomagnetic uncertainties. In February 2014, we recovered a composite 11-m-long...

Evaluation of Heat and Mass Transfer Models for Sizing Low-Temperature Kalina Cycle Microchannel Condensers

Creator:: Fronk, Brian M. and Zada, Kyle R.
Abstract:: Waste heat driven ammonia/water Kalina cycles have shown promise for improving the efficiency of electricity production from low-temperature reservoirs (T < 150 °C). However, there has been limited application of these systems to utilize widely available, disperse, waste heat streams for smaller scale power production (1–10 kWe). Factors limiting increased deployment of these...

Baculovirus molecular biology, 4th edition

Creator:: Rohrmann, George F.
Abstract:: This is the 4th edition of a book that was initiated with the annotation of the function of all the genes in the most commonly studied baculovirus, AcMNPV. It has been almost six years since I reviewed this literature. As a measure of the research that has occurred over this...

Viruses in unexplained encephalitis cases in American black bears (Ursus americanus)

Creator:: Alex, Charles E., Fahsbender, Elizabeth, Altan, Eda, Bildfell, Robert, Wolff, Peregrine, Jin, Ling, Black, Wendy, Jackson, Kenneth, Woods, Leslie, Munk, Brandon, Tse, Tiffany, Delwart, Eric, and Pesavento, Patricia A.
Abstract:: Viral infections were investigated in American black bears (Ursus americanus) from Nevada and northern California with and without idiopathic encephalitis. Metagenomics analyses of tissue pools revealed novel viruses in the genera Circoviridae, Parvoviridae, Anelloviridae, Polyomaviridae, and Papillomaviridae. The circovirus and parvovirus were of particular interest due to their potential importance...

Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

Creator:: Ogburn, Matthew B., Mills Flemming, Joanna E., Harrison, Autumn-Lynn, Cooke, Steven J., Torres, Leigh G., and Whoriskey, Frederick G.
Abstract:: The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses of animals to changes in ecosystems. Changes in the movement...

CO₂ capture from wet flue gas using a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework

Creator:: Loughran, Ryan P.
Abstract:: We report the use of MIL-120 as a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework (MOF) for selectively capturing CO₂ from wet flue gas. Synthesized using inexpensive and environmentally benign reagents in water, MIL-120 possesses one-dimensional pores decorated with hydroxyl-bridged Al(III) ions and benzene rings with an interstitial spacing of 4.78 Å....

Carbon Aerogel-Supported Nickel and Iron for Gasification Gas Cleaning. Part I: Ammonia Adsorption

Creator:: Gomez-Capiro, Oscar, Hinkle, Adrian, Delgado, Aaron M., Fernandez, Camila, Jimenez, Romel, and Arteaga-Perez, Luis E.
Abstract:: Biomass gasification is a promising way to obtain green energy, but the gas composition makes it unsuitable for use in traditional technologies (i.e., IC engine). Gas purification over nickel and/or iron catalysts is an attractive alternative. Cellulose-based carbon aerogels (CAGs) have shown suitable physical chemical properties for use as catalyst...

Structure and role for active site lid of lactate monooxygenase from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Creator:: Kean, Kelsey M. and Karplus, P. Andrew
Abstract:: Lactate monooxygenase (LMO) catalyzes the FMN-dependent "coupled" oxidation of lactate and O-2 to acetate, carbon dioxide, and water, involving pyruvate and hydrogen peroxide as enzyme-bound intermediates. Other alpha-hydroxy acid oxidase family members follow an "uncoupled pathway," wherein the alpha-keto acid product quickly dissociates before the reduced flavin reacts with oxygen....
