Diagenetic isotope exchange in biocalcites for paleoclimate reconstruction

The oxygen isotope compositions of fossil biocalcites, such as foraminifera, bivalves, brachiopods, and belemnites have allowed for reconstructions of sea surface and deep ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic and constitute the most important reco ...

Spatial patterns of benthic biofilm diversity among streams draining proglacial floodplains

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Leïla Ezzat, Massimo Bourquin, Jade Brandani, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Matteo Roncoroni

Glacier shrinkage opens new proglacial terrain with pronounced environmental gradients along longitudinal and lateral chronosequences. Despite the environmental harshness of the streams that drain glacier forelands, their benthic biofilms can harbor astoni ...

The variability of antidune morphodynamics on steep slopes

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Steep streams on rough beds are generally characterised by supercritical flow conditions under which antidunes can develop and migrate over time. In this paper, we present flume experiments that we conducted to investigate the variability of antidune geome ...

Kleptoplast distribution, photosynthetic efficiency and sequestration mechanisms in intertidal benthic foraminifera

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin, Michael Kühl

Foraminifera are ubiquitously distributed in marine habitats, playing a major role in marine sediment carbon sequestration and the nitrogen cycle. They exhibit a wide diversity of feeding and behavioural strategies (heterotrophy, autotrophy and mixotrophy) ...

Viral Transfer and Inactivation through Zooplankton Trophic Interactions

Tamar Kohn, Virginie Bachmann, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Waterborne viruses are responsible for numerous diseases and are abundant in aquatic systems. Understanding the fate of viruses in natural systems has important implications for human health. This research quantifies the uptake of bacteriophage T4 and the ...

Estimating Mean Bedload Transport Rates and Their Uncertainty

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Measuring bedload transport rates usually involves measuring the flux of sediment or collecting sediment during a certain interval of time Δt. Because bedload transport rates exhibit significant non‐Gaussian fluctuations, their time‐averaged rates depend a ...

Are Bedload Transport Pulses in Gravel Bed Rivers Created by Bar Migration or SedimentWaves?

Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

Bedload transport exhibits considerable spatial and temporal variability, as reflected by large fluctuations of transport rates. Among the various mechanisms proposed for explaining this variability, bedform migration is often cited as the main cause. We t ...

How bar generate sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

We ran flume experiments with constant water dis- charge and sediment feed rate at the inlet. Experi- ments were conducted over long times (typically 600 h). The bars migrated downstream intermittently, producing the most important pulses. When the bar pos ...

Sediment Pulses in a Gravel-Bed Flume with Alternate Bars

Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

The proper understanding of gravel-bed river dynamics is a crucial issue for the effective protection against related natural hazards, design of hydraulic structures, and preservation of their high ecological value in mountain regions. However, despite mor ...

Modeling Hydraulic Transport and Anaerobic Uptake by PAOs and GAOs During Wastewater Feeding in EBPR Granular Sludge Reactors

Christof Holliger, David Gregory Weissbrodt

New-generation bioprocesses using granular sludge aim for a high-rate removal of nutrients from wastewater with low footprint. Achieving enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) relies on the design of sludge beds and wastewater feeding conditions to ...

Column studies to assess the effects of climate variables on redox processes during riverbank filtration

Urs von Gunten, Janet Gordon Hering

Riverbank filtration is an established technique used world-wide to produce clean drinking water in a reliable and cost-efficient way. This practice is, however, facing new challenges posed by climate change, as already observed during past heat waves with ...

Peptone Supplementation of Culture Medium Has Variable Effects on the Productivity of CHO Cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Fatemeh Davami

The optimization of cell culture conditions for growth and productivity of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is a critical step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. In the present study, the effects of the timing and amount of peptone feeding of ...

Period and amplitude of bedload pulses in a macro-rough channel

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Tamara Ghilardi

It is known that bedload fluctuates over time in steep rivers with wide grain size distributions, even under conditions of constant sediment feed and water discharge. Bedload fluctuations, which are a consequence of grain sorting, are periodic and are rela ...

Energetic Macroscopic Representation of a Hybrid Elevator – Considerations on Strategies for Energy Management

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade

Accumulators are inserted on the DC bus of a conventional elevator, to increase its efficiency and limit the power demand on the main feeding grid. In the process that enable the identification of the control of such a system, The Energetic Macroscopic Rep ...

Toward the use of testate amoeba functional traits as indicator of floodplain restoration success

Edward Mitchell, Bertrand Fournier

Functional traits (FT) offer a new framework to understand the ecology of organisms and overcome taxonomic difficulties that currently limit the study of minute soil taxa. FT are likely to be selected by environmental filters and hence they may provide mor ...
