1. Syntrophy between fermentative and purple phototrophic bacteria to treat and valorize carbohydrate-rich wastewaters 

   Cerruti, Marta; Crosset-Perrotin, Guillaume; Ananth, Mythili; et al. (2023)

   Bioresource Technology Reports

   Fermentative chemoorganoheterotrophic bacteria (FCB) and purple photoorganoheterotrophic bacteria (PPB) are two interesting microbial guilds to process carbohydrate-rich wastewaters. Their metabolic interactions have been studied in pure cultures or co-cultures, but little is known about mixed cultures. We studied the effect of reactor regimes (batch/chemostat) and illumination modes (continuous infrared light, dark, or light/dark cycles) ...

2. Body-Area Capacitive or Electric Field Sensing for Human Activity Recognition and Human-Computer Interaction: A Comprehensive Survey 

   Bian, Sizhen; Liu, Mengxi; Zhou, Bo; et al. (2024)

   PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACM ON INTERACTIVE MOBILE WEARABLE AND UBIQUITOUS TECHNOLOGIES-IMWUT

   Due to the fact that roughly sixty percent of the human body is essentially composed of water, the human body is inherently a conductive object, being able to, firstly, form an inherent electric field from the body to the surroundings and secondly, deform the distribution of an existing electric field near the body. Body-area capacitive sensing, also called body-area electric field sensing, is becoming a promising alternative for wearable ...

3. Hydro-Geomechanical Observations During Multistage Hydraulic Stimulation at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory, Switzerland 

   Bröker, Kai; Ma, Xiaodong; Gholizadeh Doonechaly, Nima; et al. (2023)

   Proceedings of the 57th U.S. Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium

   A series of hydraulic stimulation experiments were performed in the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and Geoenergies in Switzerland to answer questions about the creation of an engineered geothermal reservoir in crystalline rocks. A 400 m long stimulation borehole was divided into 15 intervals by a multi-packer system. In this work, we present preliminary results of interval 8 in which two injection phases were performed ...

4. UNRAVELLING CAUSES OF BIODIVERSITY GRADIENTS IN TETRAPODS VIA ECO-EVOLUTIONARY SIMULATIONS 

   Bach, Wilhelmine (2024)

   Species and clades of tetrapods - amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles - are not distributed randomly across the globe but follow gradients of latitude, elevation as well as varying in space and time. These biodiversity gradients in tetrapods vary equally depending on which dimension of diversity - taxonomic, phylogenetic or functional - is studied and which metric is used to summarize that specific dimension. Different metrics quantifying ...

5. Impact-based forecast for critical infrastructure during Tropical Cyclones 

   Espejo Gutierrez, Gabriela (2024)

   Critical infrastructures, such as healthcare facilities or roads, play a vital role in society as they provide essential services for the functioning of communities. Disruptions to these infrastructures have far-reaching consequences, affecting public health, safety, security, wellbeing, and economic activities. Weather extremes, such as tropical cyclones or floods, can lead to widespread failures in lifeline services such as power, ...
