1. Navigating the Carbon Maze: A Roadmap to Effective Carbon Conductive Networks for Lithium-Ion Batteries 

   Baumgaertner, Julian F.; Kravchyk, Kostiantyn V.; Kovalenko, Maksym V. (2024)

   Advanced Energy Materials

   Conductive networks are integral components in Li-ion battery electrodes, serving the dual function of providing electrons to the active material while its porosity ensures Li-ion electrolyte accessibility to deliver and release Li-ions, thereby ultimately determining the electrochemical performance of the battery. In the realm of academic research, the task of fabricating an electrode endowed with an effective conductive network has ...

2. Legacy effects of premature defoliation in response to an extreme drought event modulate phytochemical profiles with subtle consequences for leaf herbivory in European beech 

   Eisenring, Michael; Gessler, Arthur; Frei, Esther R.; et al. (2024)

   New Phytologist

   Extreme droughts can have long-lasting effects on forest community dynamics and species interactions. Yet, our understanding of how drought legacy modulates ecological relationships is just unfolding. We tested the hypothesis that leaf chemistry and herbivory show long-term responses to premature defoliation caused by an extreme drought event in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). For two consecutive years after the extreme European ...

3. Evidence for an RNAi-independent role of Arabidopsis DICER-LIKE2 in growth inhibition and basal antiviral resistance 

   Nielsen, Carsten Poul Skou; Arribas-Hernández, Laura; Han, Lijuan; et al. (2024)

   The Plant Cell

   Flowering plant genomes encode four or five DICER-LIKE (DCL) enzymes that produce small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs, which function in RNA interference (RNAi). Different RNAi pathways in plants effect transposon silencing, antiviral defense, and endogenous gene regulation. DCL2 acts genetically redundantly with DCL4 to confer basal antiviral defense. However, DCL2 may also counteract DCL4 since knockout of DCL4 causes growth ...

4. Modeling the morphological response of gravel-bed rivers subject to repeated sediment bypass tunnel operations 

   Facchini, Matteo; Vetsch, David F.; Boes, Robert M.; et al. (2024)

   Frontiers in Earth Science

   Introduction: Sediment bypass tunnels (SBTs) are operated during floods to re-establish sediment continuity past dams with the ultimate goal of decreasing accumulation in reservoirs. Depending on the location of the intake structure and operational conditions, SBTs may release either bed load-laden or bed load-free flows in the form of sudden floods (pulses). When evaluating the impacts of SBTs, the traditional approach has been to monitor ...
