Short-term impacts of enhanced Greenland freshwater fluxes in an eddy-permitting ocean model by R. Marsh, D. Desbruyères, J. L. Bamber, B. A. de Cuevas, A. C. Coward, Y. Aksenov

“…The impacts on regional hydrography and circulation are investigated by comparing the sensitivity experiment to a control experiment, without additional fluxes. By the end of the sensitivity experiment, the majority of additional fresh water has accumulated in Baffin Bay, and only a small fraction has reached the interior of the Labrador Sea, where winter mixed layer depth is sensitive to small changes in salinity. …”

Quantitative and functional characterization of the hyper-conserved protein of Prochlorococcus and marine Synechococcus. by Caroline E Whidden, Katrina G DeZeeuw, Jackie K Zorz, Andrew P Joy, David A Barnett, Milo S Johnson, Olga Zhaxybayeva, Amanda M Cockshutt

“…The 50 S ribosomal protein L2, the Photosystem I protein PsaD and the Ycf48-like protein were found associated with the PSHCP protein in all strains and not appreciably or at all in control experiments. We hypothesize that PSHCP is a protein associated with the ribosome, and is possibly involved in photosystem assembly.…”

Short-time response in root morphology of alien invasive plant Amaranthus retroflexus to water level gradient by Xiang Bai, Zhongbao Zhao

“…Investigating the response of alien invasive plants to water level gradient in wetlands is important for developing strategies to prevent invasions by alien plants in these ecosystems. Controlled experiments were conducted to investigate the response of root morphology in the alien invasive plant Amaranthus retroflexus to water level gradient. …”

Multimodal prosody: gestures and speech in the perception of prominence in Spanish by Miguel Jiménez-Bravo, Victoria Marrero-Aguiar

“…Four between-subjects experiments in each modality—audio-only and audiovisual—were conducted online, each including a different combination of manipulated cues: Exp1 (flat F0), Exp2 (flat intensity), and Exp3 (flat F0 + flat intensity), while all cues remained intact in the control experiment Exp0. Additionally, the capability of the different gesture phases to convey prominence was analyzed in their interaction with the acoustic cues. …”

Ultraviolet reflection enhances the risk of predation in a vertebrate by Ricarda MODARRESSIE, Ingolf P. RICK, Theo C. M. BAKKER

“…Sticklebacks enclosed in the UV-transmitting chamber were attacked first significantly more often compared to sticklebacks enclosed in the UV-blocking chamber. Control experiments using neutral density filters revealed that this was more likely due to UV having an influence on hue perception rather than brightness discrimination. …”

Dihydroquinolines, Dihydronaphthyridines and Quinolones by Domino Reactions of Morita-Baylis-Hillman Acetates by Joel K. Annor-Gyamfi, Ebenezer Ametsetor, Kevin Meraz, Richard A. Bunce

“…The MBH substrates incorporate a side chain acetate positioned adjacent to an acrylate or acrylonitrile aza-Michael acceptor as well as an aromatic ring activated toward S_NAr ring closure. A control experiment established that the initial reaction was an S_N2′-type displacement of the side chain acetate by the amine to generate the alkene product with the added nitrogen nucleophile positioned trans to the S_NAr aromatic ring acceptor. …”
