Optimizing control strategies for urine nitrification: narrow pH control band enhances process stability and reduces nitrous oxide emissions by Valentin Faust, Valentin Faust, Nico Boon, Nico Boon, Ramon Ganigué, Ramon Ganigué, Siegfried E. Vlaeminck, Siegfried E. Vlaeminck, Kai M. Udert, Kai M. Udert

“…To address the need for a robust and reliable process in decentralized applications, two different strategies were tested: operating a two-position pH controller (inflow on/off) with a narrow pH control band at 6.20/6.25 (∆pH = 0.05, narrow-pH) vs. a wider pH control band at 6.00/6.50 (∆pH = 0.50, wide-pH). …”

Aluminum (Al) causes a delayed suppression of nucleotide excision repair (NER) capacity in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos via disturbance of DNA lesion detection by Ganjai Vikram Paul, Ya-Yun Huang, Yu-Ning Wu, Tsung-Nan Ho, Hsin-I. Hsiao, Todd Hsu

“…Inhibition of 6–4PP detection blocked downstream lesion incision/excision detected by a terminal deoxy transferase-mediated end labeling assay. As the disturbance of damage sensing preceded that of the overall repair process, Al exposure was believed to downregulate NER capacity by inhibiting the activities of lesion detection proteins. …”

Error Evaluation of L-Band <i>InSAR</i> Precipitable Water Vapor Measurements by Comparison with <i>GNSS</i> Observations in Japan by Keita Matsuzawa, Yohei Kinoshita

“…Although previous studies have evaluated the error level of <i>InSAR</i><i>PWV</i> observations, they validated it only with C-band <i>InSAR</i><i>PWV</i> observations. Since ionospheric disturbance seriously contaminates the <i>InSAR</i> phase in the case of the lower-frequency SAR system, it is necessary for a <i>PWV</i> error level evaluation correcting the ionospheric effect appropriately if we use lower-frequency SAR systems, such as the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2). …”

Quantifying Live Aboveground Biomass and Forest Disturbance of Mountainous Natural and Plantation Forests in Northern Guangdong, China, Based on Multi-Temporal Landsat, PALSAR and... by Wenjuan Shen, Mingshi Li, Chengquan Huang, Anshi Wei

“…Spatially explicit knowledge of aboveground biomass (AGB) in large areas is important for accurate carbon accounting and quantifying the effect of forest disturbance on the terrestrial carbon cycle. We estimated AGB from 1990 to 2011 in northern Guangdong, China, based on a spatially explicit dataset derived from six years of national forest inventory (NFI) plots, Landsat time series imagery (1986–2011) and Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radars (PALSAR) 25 m mosaic data (2007–2010). …”
