1. An integrated spatio-temporal view of riverine biodiversity using environmental DNA metabarcoding 

   Perry, William Bernard; Seymour, Mathew; Orsini, Luisa; et al. (2024)

   Nature Communications

   Anthropogenically forced changes in global freshwater biodiversity demand more efficient monitoring approaches. Consequently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is enabling ecosystem-scale biodiversity assessment, yet the appropriate spatio-temporal resolution of robust biodiversity assessment remains ambiguous. Here, using intensive, spatio-temporal eDNA sampling across space (five rivers in Europe and North America, with an upper range ...

3. CMS ECAL VFE design, production and testing 

   Lustermann, Werner; Abadjiev, Daniel; Dissertori, Günther; et al. (2024)

   Journal of Instrumentation

   Maintaining the required performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) barrel at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) requires the replacement of the entire on-detector electronics. 12240 new very front end (VFE) cards will amplify and digitize the signals of 61200 lead-tungstate crystals instrumented with avalanche photodiodes. The VFE cards host five channels of CATIA pre-amplifier ASICs followed by LiTE-DTU ...

4. Developing a climatological simplification of aerosols to enter the cloud microphysics of a global climate model 

   Proske, Ulrike; Ferrachat, Sylvaine; Lohmann, Ulrike (2024)

   Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics

   Aerosol particles influence cloud formation and properties. Hence climate models that aim for a physical representation of the climate system include aerosol modules. In order to represent more and more processes and aerosol species, their representation has grown increasingly detailed. However, depending on one's modelling purpose, the increased model complexity may not be beneficial, for example because it hinders understanding of model ...

5. Hazard assessment of hexagonal boron nitride and hexagonal boron nitride reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composites using human skin and lung cells 

   Carlin M.; Kaur J.; Ciobanu D.Z.; et al. (2024)

   Journal of Hazardous Materials

   Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an emerging two-dimensional material attracting considerable attention in the industrial sector given its innovative physicochemical properties. Potential risks are associated mainly with occupational exposure where inhalation and skin contact are the most relevant exposure routes for workers. Here we aimed at characterizing the effects induced by composites of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and hBN, ...
