Stability of tropical forest tree carbon-water relations in a rainfall exclusion treatment through shifts in effective water uptake depth

Increasing severity and frequency of drought is predicted for large portions of the terrestrial biosphere, with major impacts already documented in wet tropical forests. Using a 4-year rainfall exclusion experiment in the Daintree Rainforest in northeast A ...

Development of an effective cell seeding technique: simulation, implementation and analysis of contributing factors

Dominique Pioletti, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Naser Nasrollahzadeh Mamaghani

Cell seeding in a biomaterial is an important process for tissue engineering applications. It helps to modulate tissue formation or to control initial conditions for mechanobiological studies. The compression release-induced suction (CRIS) seeding techniqu ...

On the Firing Rate Dependency of the Phase Response Curve of Rat Purkinje Neurons In Vitro

Michele Giugliano

Synchronous spiking during cerebellar tasks has been observed across Purkinje cells: however, little is known about the intrinsic cellular mechanisms responsible for its initiation, cessation and stability. The Phase Response Curve (PRC), a simple input-ou ...

A model for global biomass burning in preindustrial time: LPJ-LMfire (v1.0)

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Mirjam Pfeiffer

Fire is the primary disturbance factor in many terrestrial ecosystems. Wildfire alters vegetation structure and composition, affects carbon storage and biogeochemical cycling, and results in the release of climatically relevant trace gases including CO2, C ...

Ensemble projections of wildfire activity and carbonaceous aerosol concentrations over the western United States in the mid-21st century

Jed Oliver Kaplan

We estimate future wildfire activity over the western United States during the mid-21st century (2046-2065), based on results from 15 climate models following the A1B scenario. We develop fire prediction models by regressing meteorological variables from t ...

Predictability of biomass burning in response to climate changes

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis, Yi Zhang, Christopher Michael Long

Climate is an important control on biomass burning, but the sensitivity of fire to changes in temperature and moisture balance has not been quantified. We analyze sedimentary charcoal records to show that the changes in fire regime over the past 21,000 yrs ...

Improved Similarity Measures for Small Sets of Spike Trains

Wulfram Gerstner, Richard Naud, Skander Mensi, Joao Emanuel Felipe Gerhard

Multiple measures have been developed to quantify the similarity between two spike trains. These measures have been used for the quantification of the mismatch between neuron models and experiments as well as for the classification of neuronal responses in ...

Modelling natural disturbances in forest ecosystems: a review

François Gillet

Natural disturbances play a key role in ecosystem dynamics and are important factors for sustainable forest ecosystem management. Quantitative models are frequently employed to tackle the complexities associated with disturbance processes. Here we review t ...

Structural response of liquid-cooled GFRP slabs subjected to fire - Part I: Material and post-fire modeling

Thomas Keller, Craig Tracy

Temperature-dependent material properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites were derived from tests performed on the material itself, from references concerned with similar polymer materials and from observations during full-scale fire experimen ...
