The Molecular Astrophysics of Stars and Galaxies

Abstract This book provides a comprehensive survey of modern molecular astrophysics. It includes an introduction to molecular spectroscopy and then addresses the main areas of current molecular astrophysics, including galaxy formation, star...

New Occurrence of Seifertite and Stishovite in Chang’E‐5 Regolith

Abstract High‐pressure minerals in impact ejecta quantify shock conditions and provide clues for provenance analysis. The sampling site of Chang’E‐5 may contain distal ejecta, which is critical for constraining the impact events and interpr...

Diurnal variation of tropospheric temperature at a tropical station

The vertical velocity in the troposphere-lower stratosphere region measured using MST radar has been utilized to evaluate the temperature profile in the region. The diurnal variation of the tropospheric temperature on one day in Augus...

Correlations Between Subduction of Linear Oceanic Features and Arc Volcanism Volume Around the Pacific Basin

Abstract Arc volcanoes, created by magma generated from the dehydration of subducting slabs, show great variability in their sizes and along‐arc spatial distributions. In this study, we address a fundamental question, namely, how do subduct...

Comparison of the GOSAT TANSO-FTS TIR CH volume mixing ratio vertical profiles with those measured by ACE-FTS, ESA MIPAS, IMK-IAA MIPAS, and 16 NDACC stations

The primary instrument on the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT) is the Thermal And Near infrared Sensor for carbon Observations (TANSO) Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). TANSO-FTS uses three short-wave infrared (SWIR) band...

Terrestrial Remote Sensing of Snowmelt in a Diverse High-Arctic Tundra Environment Using Time-Lapse Imagery

Snow cover is one of the crucial factors influencing the plant distribution in harsh Arctic regions. In tundra environments, wind redistribution of snow leads to a very heterogeneous spatial distribution which influences growth conditions f...

Assessment of climate change impact on wheat crop using MarkSim GCM in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

GFLD-CM3 model was used to generate weather data under RCPs scenario i.e. RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5 for years 2010, 2035, 2065 and 2095 for Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The generated data were used to assess the impact of climate change on phen...

Generation of layering in the upper arctic troposphere away from the jet stream

Ozone sounding databases for two stations, So-dankylä (67° N, 27° E) and Ny-Ålesund (79° N, 12° E) were used in order to investigate the generation of layering in the upper and middle troposphere of the Arctic. We concentrated on dry,...

Internal Water Facilitates Thermal Resetting of Clumped Isotopes in Biogenic Aragonite

Abstract Biogenic and inorganic calcium carbonates contain considerable amounts of internal water, both as free and organically associated water. The oxygen isotopic compositions (δ18O) of internal water and hosting carbonate are analyzed f...

Glass as a biomaterial: strategies for optimising bioactive glasses for clinical applications

Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to bond to human body tissue, making them ideal for replacing and regenerating bone. Since their first development over half a century ago, many new bioactive glass compositions have been...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems

Giant seafloor depressions are formed by an interaction of bottom currents and pre-existing seafloor topograph Initial seafloor depressions are initiated by slope failure processes...

Equations of State of Solids for Geophysics and Ceramic Science

Abstract Written by a renowned expert in the field, this book is the most comprehensive treatment available on the applications of equations of state (EoS) in geophysics and materials science, a topic of fundamental importance to those stud...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using terrestrial fern (Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl.): characterization and antimicrobial studies

Novel silver nanoparticles from Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl. was synthesized. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were utilized to characterize the newly synthesized Gleichenia Pectinata Silver Nanoparticles...

Dehydrins in the adaptation of common pine and Siberian spruce to growing conditions during vegetation period

The role of stress proteins in the formation of plant adaptability to environmental conditions has not yet been fully revealed. To identify the role of dehydrins (DH) in the strategy of biochemical adaptation in species occupying different ...

Eleven years’ data of grassland management data in Germany

Endophytic Bacillus spp. as a Prospective Biological Tool for Control of Viral Diseases and Non-vector Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. in Solanum tuberosum L.

Viral diseases and their damage causing significant loss to economically important crops have increased by several folds during the last decade. All the conventional approaches are not able to eradicate the viral infection. Therefore, there...

X-ray crystal structure, UV–Vis and NMR spectroscopic, and molecular docking studies of pyribencarb isomers
