description: Simple relationships involving the fundamental parameters of fine mode aerosol optical depth (?f), Angstrom exponent (?f) and its derivative (?f?) as near-monotonic functions of the effective van de Hulst parameter (?eff,f = 2 (2 ? reff,f/?) ?m ? 1?) were derived for the conceptual case of a log-translatable particle size distribution (LTPSD). This notion is useful in the interpretation of real sunphotometer data; the fine mode size distribution often approximates a LTPSD while departures from this behavior become more readily understood once one understands the first order optics. The near dependency of the fine mode optical parameters on ?eff,f was also exploited to obtain an explicit expression for ?eff,f as a function of ?f and ?f?. The relationships were applied to a representative case study to demonstrate their general applicability and then to the specific case of the July 2002 Québec smoke event. A number of illustrations were given where the coherency of the derived relations indicated that the LTPSD concept was often a good approximation to reality. The analysis of the Québec-smoke extinction data showed the existence of a weak but systematic dependence of the Angstrom exponents on smoke trajectory time and by inference a steady growth in particle size with time. The variation of reff,f (derived from AERONET inversions) was however observed to be inconsistent with this dependence unless one redefined this parameter in terms of the clearly delineated peak of the asymmetric fine mode particle size distribution (PSD). This definition led to a re-computed temporal rate of increase in reff,f which was coherent with the variation of the Angstrom parameters and which was coherent with a simple coagulative model based on conservation of volume. It was demonstrated that trajectory time was essentially a proxy variable for reff,f and more fundamentally ?eff,f (as predicted by the LTPSD relations). A similar proxy argument could be applied to the dependence of the Angstrom exponent on optical depth but such arguments are tempered by the relative variations of fine-mode abundance (Af) and particle size (by the value of the parameter ? = dlogAf/dlogreff,f).

description: Performance in soccer depends on the ability to reproduce motor actions repeatedly. The maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) allows players to sustain the intensity of the match for 95 minutes or 125 minutes including extra time. Aware of this, we investigated how to help young footballers to improve the maximum oxygen consumption.The experiment involved 60 young footballers, 30 of whom were from Djoliba AC and 30 from the 26 Mars centre, aged between 15 and 16 years old. Maximum oxygen consumption was measured by the 20-metre shuttle run field test (Léger et al.2007).A progression in the VO2 max values in both groups, i.e. the Djoliba AC (DJ) and the control group (T) was observed thanks to a training programme based on the development of aerobic endurance.

description: The present dissertation delves into the cutting-edge field of
naturalistic stimulation to investigate the multifaceted nature of
emotional experiences and the mechanisms underlying empathic
responses. Through a series of behavioral studies, we explored 1)
whether the emotional experience elicited by a movie can be
embedded by a limited set of descriptors conventionally referred
to as genres; 2) the affective unfolding of narratives, and the
emotional transitions dynamics underlying individual
experience; 3) the contribution of visual, acoustic, and semantic
properties of the stimulus in predicting the subjective emotional
experience. Our results show that the unfolding of emotions plays
a crucial role in shaping how audiences perceive and categorize
movies. Then, we confirm the existence of six archetypal patterns
that shape the emotional trajectories of narratives, and we
demonstrate that certain emotions may serve as triggers, others
act as catalysts for subsequent reactions, or emerge as outcomes
of appraised states. The same emotion may behave as both
starting and landing state, suggesting the crucial role of context in
shaping the inner emotional experience. Also, we find that,
although we can predict a consistent amount of the audience's
emotional states, the physical properties of the stimulus may not
be entirely sufficient to reconstruct the subjective affective
experience. Lastly, we assess the psychometric properties of two
recently developed questionnaires measuring empathic abilities
in the Italian population.

description: The Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) of automatic Sun/sky radiometers collected data on U.S. Atlantic coast sites, ships, and Bermuda in 1996 during the Tropospheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing Observational Experiment (TARFOX). Spatial and temporal analysis of Sun photometry data was supported by synoptic analysis of air mass evolution. The spatial distribution of aerosol optical depth is presented. In several cases the aerosol size distributions deduced from sky almucantar measurements and solar disk attenuation measurements at the various coastal sites yielded similar results within the same air masses. Ship-based measurements in the Atlantic Ocean showed significant maritime aerosol optical property variations which for the most part could be attributed to the influence of continental sources and Saharan dust events. The Bermuda data (optical depths and Ängström parameter values) illustrated changes in atmospheric optical properties for various air masses and trajectories. Almost no correlation was observed between aerosol optical depth and water vapor content when the data from all stations and ship measurements were considered together. In the case of individual stations or ship transects, different degrees of correlation could be observed. In continental conditions on the east coast, optical depth and water vapor are well correlated, while in a maritime environment, optical depth can be relatively small despite high water vapor contents.

description: The recognition that the aerosol particle size distribution (PSD) is effectively bimodal permits the extraction of the fine and coarse mode optical depths (?f and ?c) from the spectral shape of the total aerosol optical depth (?a = ?f + ?c). This purely optical technique avoids intermediate computations of the PSD and yields a direct optical output that is commensurate in complexity with the spectral information content of ?a. The separation into ?f and ?c is a robust process and yields aerosol optical statistics, which are more intrinsic than those, obtained from a generic analysis of ?a. Partial (optical) validation is provided by (1) demonstrating the physical coherence of the simple model employed, (2) demonstrating that ?c variation is coherent with photographic evidence of thin cloud events and that ?f variation is coherent with photographic evidence of clear sky and haze events, and (3) showing that the retrieved values of ?f and ?c are well-correlated, if weakly biased, relative to formal inversions of combined solar extinction and sky radiance data. The spectral inversion technique permitted a closer scrutiny of a standard (temporally based) cloud-screening algorithm. Perturbations of monthly or longer-term statistics associated with passive or active shortcomings of operational cloud screening were inferred to be small to occasionally moderate over a sampling of cases. Diurnal illustrations were given where it was clear that such shortcomings can have a significant impact on the interpretation of specific events; (1) commission errors in ?f due to the exclusion of excessively high-frequency fine mode events and (2) omission errors in ?c due to the inclusion of insufficiently high-frequency thin homogeneous cloud events.

description: Estimates of the direct radiative effect (DRE) from absorbing smoke aerosols over the southeast Atlantic Ocean (SAO) require simulation of the microphysical and optical properties of stratocumulus clouds as well as of the altitude and shortwave (SW) optical properties of biomass burning aerosols (BBAs). In this study, we take advantage of the large number of observations acquired during the ObseRvations of Aerosols above Clouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES-2016) and Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) projects during September 2016 and compare them with datasets from the ALADIN-Climate (Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développement InterNational) regional model. The model provides a good representation of the liquid water path but the low cloud fraction is underestimated compared to satellite data. The modeled total-column smoke aerosol optical depth (AOD) and above-cloud AOD are consistent (?0.7 over continental sources and ?0.3 over the SAO at 550 nm) with the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2), Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The simulations indicate smoke transport over the SAO occurs mainly between 2 and 4 km, consistent with surface and aircraft lidar observations. The BBA single scattering albedo is slightly overestimated compared to the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) and more significantly when compared to Ascension Island surface observations. The difference could be due to the absence of internal mixing treatment in the ALADIN-Climate model. The SSA overestimate leads to an underestimation of the simulated SW radiative heating compared to ORACLES data. ALADIN-Climate simulates a positive (monthly mean) SW DRE of about +6 W m?2 over the SAO (20? S–10? N and 10? W–20? E) at the top of the atmosphere and in all-sky conditions. Over the continent, the presence of BBA is shown to significantly decrease the net surface SW flux, through direct and semi-direct effects, which is compensated by a decrease (monthly mean) in sensible heat fluxes (?25 W m?2) and surface land temperature (?1.5 ?C) over Angola, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, notably. The surface cooling and the lower tropospheric heating decrease the continental planetary boundary layer height by about ?200 m.

description: The diurnal variability of aerosol optical depth (AOD) can be significant, depending on location and dominant aerosol type. However, these diurnal cycles have rarely been taken into account in measurement-based estimates of aerosol direct radiative forcing (ADRF) or aerosol direct radiative effect (ADRE). The objective of our study was to estimate the influence of diurnal aerosol variability at the top of the atmosphere ADRE estimates. By including all the possible AERONET sites, we wanted to assess the influence on global ADRE estimates. While focusing also in more detail on some selected sites of strongest impact, our goal was to also see the possible impact regionally. We calculated ADRE with different assumptions about the daily AOD variability: taking the observed daily AOD cycle into account and assuming diurnally constant AOD. Moreover, we estimated the corresponding differences in ADREs, if the single AOD value for the daily mean was taken from the the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra or Aqua overpass times, instead of accounting for the true observed daily variability. The mean impact of diurnal AOD variability on 24 h ADRE estimates, averaged over all AERONET sites, was rather small and it was relatively small even for the cases when AOD was chosen to correspond to the Terra or Aqua overpass time. This was true on average over all AERONET sites, while clearly there can be much stronger impact in individual sites. Examples of some selected sites demonstrated that the strongest observed AOD variability (the strongest morning afternoon contrast) does not typically result in a significant impact on 24 h ADRE. In those cases, the morning and afternoon AOD patterns are opposite and thus the impact on 24 h ADRE, when integrated over all solar zenith angles, is reduced. The most significant effect on daily ADRE was induced by AOD cycles with either maximum or minimum AOD close to local noon. In these cases, the impact on 24 h ADRE was typically around 0.1–0.2 W m?2 (both positive and negative) in absolute values, 5–10% in relative ones.

description: This research explores SOX9, a crucial gene for male sex development. Mutations in SOX9 contribute to sex development differences. In mice, SOX9 determines if an embryo becomes male or female. The study investigates two new genes, TYRO3 and TRPC3, linked to SOX9. Inhibiting TYRO3 in male mice reduces germ cells, affecting testis development. Similarly, TRPC3 disruption leads to fewer germ cells and a disturbed coelomic blood vessel. The findings enhance our understanding of SOX9, providing insights into male sex development and potential causes of sex development differences. This knowledge could advance diagnoses for sex development disorders and improve understanding of fertility issues.

Persistence of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) in a system experiencing chronic utilization by elephants. Conservation Science and Practice. In press
Abstract:Chronic utilization of woody vegetation by African savanna elephants may transform woodland vegetation to open savanna and threaten the extirpation of targeted species. This situation has arisen in Gonarezhou National Park (GNP), Zimbabwe, where a large elephant population (>2 km-2)threatens the persistence of the long-lived baobab (Adansonia digitata) tree, through elevated mortality levels. This study investigated whether complete or partial refugia from elephant utilisation existed for baobabs, and whether protection of trees by management, using wire netting or log-or rock-packs around a tree base, had been effective. A total of 563 baobabs were sampled across northern GNP. Elephants had debarked 99 %of trees to some degree, and gouged holes in the stem of 22 % of trees. The probability, and severity, of debarking and gouging decreased with increasing distance to permanent water, increasing slope, and the amount of boulder cover. Slope gradient had the greatest effect on elephant impact, with trees located on steep slopes being less affected by elephants than those on flat ground. Distance to water had an effect despite the farthest tree, at 9 km from water, being within the 15 km foraging range of bull elephants. Large boulders partly protected trees even on gentle terrain. None of these factors provided a complete refuge from elephant impact within GNP, but, individually and collectively, provided a partial refuge at current elephant densities. Protection measures doubled tree survival over approximately five years, with fencing wire wrapped around baobab stems proving to be the most effective method. Assessment of the future security of baobabs in GNP requires knowledge of their distribution and that of the refugia provided by distance from permanent water, slope, and boulder cover.

description: Aerosol concentrations and properties have been derived from a network of ground-based Sun-sky radiometer measurements in Brazil's Amazon basin region since 1992. The measurements characterize the background aerosol environment and aerosol emissions from biomass burning at eight selected sites. The duration and frequency of the measurements provide the foundation of an aerosol climatology based on direct sun measurements of aerosol optical thickness and retrievals of size distribution from solar aureole measurements. The aerosol optical thickness measurements clearly illustrate that for sites located within regions of biomass burning the duration of smoke above background levels often exceeds 2 months and frequently at levels an order of magnitude above background. The aerosol optical thickness range during preburning conditions was 0.11 to 0.27 at 440 nm. Under these conditions, stratospheric aerosols from Pinatubo constituted a significant part of the signal in 1993 but were about 50% less in 1994. During the burning season, smoke elevated the aerosol optical thickness above 1.0 for seasonally averaged values measured at 440 nm at sites located in active source regions in Mato Grosso, Rondonia, and Tocantins states. The measurement sites are located in the cerrado and forest conversion areas. Analysis of the size distribution of the particles indicated that the increase in aerosol optical thickness was associated with an increase of an accumulation and coarse particle modes. The asymmetry factor “g”, computed from the phase function, showed considerable spectral dependence between the preburning and burning seasonal phases. The 1020-nm channel was reduced from 0.66 to ?0.53, while at 440 nm little seasonal phase variation was noted. Conditions of burning were sufficiently strong that the atmospheric conditions associated with the climatological definition of a dry season was subdivided into (1) preburning, (2) transition to burning, (3) burning, and (4) transition to wet season phases for most sites. Averages and frequency distributions were used to characterize each seasonal phase by site. Changes in total column water vapor amount, also retrieved from direct sun measurements, did not have an apparent effect on the optical properties of the aerosols.

description: The aerosol component of the Oxford-Rutherford Aerosol and Cloud (ORAC) combined cloud and aerosol retrieval scheme is described and the theoretical performance of the algorithm is analysed. ORAC is an optimal estimation retrieval scheme for deriving cloud and aerosol properties from measurements made by imaging satellite radiometers and, when applied to cloud free radiances, provides estimates of aerosol optical depth at a wavelength of 550 nm, aerosol effective radius and surface reflectance at 550 nm. The aerosol retrieval component of ORAC has several incarnations – this paper addresses the version which operates in conjunction with the cloud retrieval component of ORAC (described by Watts et al., 1998), as applied in producing the Global Retrieval of ATSR Cloud Parameters and Evaluation (GRAPE) data-set. The algorithm is described in detail and its performance examined. This includes a discussion of errors resulting from the formulation of the forward model, sensitivity of the retrieval to the measurements and a priori constraints, and errors resulting from assumptions made about the atmospheric/surface state.

description: There is limited empirical research for understanding the range of responses to sustainability in engineering education and how these responses are implemented by educators and experienced by students. To address these gaps, an international multiple case study explored how engineering education integrates sustainability into its curricula. The study used a conceptual framework for investigating the nature and purpose of educational responses to sustainability, which was refined through a conceptual review, fieldwork, and case-specific analysis. The cross-case analysis facilitated the development of a hybrid theoretical-empirical model that exemplifies the range of possible and actual responses to sustainability in engineering education.

description: Calibrating distributed hydrological models often leads to equifinality due to complex model structures, which can be further exacerbated in wetlands due to spatio‐temporal heterogeneity in ecohydrological processes. Here, step‐wise calibrations of the physically‐based distributed model EcH2O‐iso was conducted in a data‐rich wetland by minimizing a weighted average of the errors on discharge, stream isotopes, groundwater (GW) isotopes, and soil moisture. Results showed multi‐criteria calibration outperformed single‐criterion calibration as it strongly increased the overall performance, yet only marginally degraded performance of each calibration target. Isotopes were highlighted as appropriate auxiliary data as they effectively constrained the model with relatively small weights (0.1). However, those parameter sets that minimize the errors could still lead to physically implausible simulations of uncalibrated internal states or fluxes. This was further demonstrated by an approach developed to check internal fluxes based on soft data (transpiration and lateral flow), suggesting 54% of optimized models gave “right answers for the wrong reasons.” By excluding those models against soft data, such an approach further constrained equifinality, and unraveled potential inconsistencies between observations and calibration. Modeling represented the wetland as a slow‐draining system mainly fed by GW, but also influenced by near‐surface flow during winter or summer convectional events. Further, heterogeneity in hydrological functioning was partly attributed to distinct evapotranspiration patterns between contrasting vegetation communities. Therefore, this study not only provided insights into wetland functioning, but also revealed potential equifinality even with abundant data for calibration, and potential solutions based on the integration of isotopes and soft data.

description: A new approach to more accurately monitor and evaluate transboundary particulate matter (PM) pollution is introduced based on aerosol optical products from Korea's Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI). The area studied is Northeast Asia (including eastern parts of China, the Korean peninsula and Japan), where GOCI has been monitoring since June 2010. The hourly multi-spectral aerosol optical data that were retrieved from GOCI sensor onboard geostationary satellite COMS (Communication, Ocean, and Meteorology Satellite) through the Yonsei aerosol retrieval algorithm were first presented and used in this study. The GOCI-retrieved aerosol optical data are integrated with estimated aerosol distributions from US EPA Models-3/CMAQ (Community Multi-scale Air Quality) v4.5.1 model simulations via data assimilation technique, thereby making the aerosol data spatially continuous and available even for cloud contamination cells. The assimilated aerosol optical data are utilized to provide quantitative estimates of transboundary PM pollution from China to the Korean peninsula and Japan. For the period of 1 April to 31 May, 2011 this analysis yields estimates that AOD as a proxy for PM2.5 or PM10 during long-range transport events increased by 117–265% compared to background average AOD (aerosol optical depth) at the four AERONET sites in Korea, and average AOD increases of 121% were found when averaged over the entire Korean peninsula. This paper demonstrates that the use of multi-spectral AOD retrievals from geostationary satellites can improve estimates of transboundary PM pollution. Such data will become more widely available later this decade when new sensors such as the GEMS (Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer) and GOCI-2 are scheduled to be launched.

description: AbstractAs part of TIGERZ campaign, latitudinal variation of aerosol optical properties was analyzed over Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) to central Himalayas during premonsoon of 2008 and 2009. Measurements of aerosol optical depth (AOD) were performed using Aerosol Robotic Network Sun photometer at four sites with different aerosol environments. The AOD increases from Nainital located in central Himalayas to Kanpur located in IGP region. Further, aerosol size varies spatially with dominance of coarse-mode aerosols at Kanpur compared to fine-mode aerosols dominated at Nainital. Spectral variation of single-scattering albedo suggests that during premonsoon, dust is the dominant species in the IGP with exception of Pantnagar, where absorbing aerosols are dominant. The optical properties of aerosols are calculated, and shortwave clear-sky aerosol radiative forcing (ARF) is estimated. An insignificant difference is found in columnar ARF and columnar heating rate (HR) when vertical profiles of aerosols are included in radiative transfer models. Over Nainital, average ARF is estimated to be ?7.61, ?45.75, and 38.14 W m?2 at top of atmosphere (TOA), surface (SUR), and in the atmosphere (ATM), respectively. Average ARF is less negative at Kanpur compared to Pantnagar and Bareilly with values ?17.63, ?73.06, and 55.43 W m?2 at TOA, SUR, and ATM, respectively. ARF shows positive gradient from the highlands to the IGP sites; larger TOA and SUR cooling were observed at the three sites compared to the highland site. This translates into large columnar HR with estimated average values as 1.07, 1.41, 1.58, and 1.56 K d?1 for Nainital, Pantnagar, Bareilly, and Kanpur, respectively.

description: The Global Retrieval of ATSR Cloud Parameters and Evaluation (GRAPE) project has produced a global data-set of cloud and aerosol properties from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer-2 (ATSR-2) instrument, covering the time period 1995–2001. This paper presents the validation of aerosol optical depths (AODs) over the ocean from this product against AERONET sun-photometer measurements, as well as a comparison to the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) optical depth product produced by the Global Aerosol Climatology Project (GACP). The GRAPE AOD over ocean is found to be in good agreement with AERONET measurements, with a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.79 and a best-fit slope of 1.0±0.1, but with a positive bias of 0.08±0.04. Although the GRAPE and GACP datasets show reasonable agreement, there are significant differences. These discrepancies are explored, and suggest that the downward trend in AOD reported by GACP may arise from changes in sampling due to the orbital drift of the AVHRR instruments.

description: Autotrophic picoplankton and phytoplankton composite samples were collected from the surface, pycnocline, and bottom water layers at three stations in the lower Chesapeake Bay between June and September 1993. Using light microscopy a total of 170 phytoplankton taxa were identified. Utilizing epifluorescent microscopy, the picoplankton taxa were distinguished by size, representing species with cells less than 2 microns. Diatoms were the dominant taxa during this period, with lesser representation by the other phytoplankton components. Within the picoplankton category, cyanobacteria were dominant. Statistical analyses of the data indicated the vertical composition and abundance of the phytoplankton was not significantly different over the vertical range of depths. Species diversity was high and phytoplankton densities were similar at all three stations. A Principal Component Analysis clustered the pycnocline waters together, separate from both the surface and bottom waters. Variation in the density of the picoplankton did not differ significantly at the three depths sampled. It is suggested that the variability of the phytoplankton composition, combined with the relatively small sample size, may have masked any statistically significant differences between the three stations, and that with increased sampling, differences in the spatial and seasonal species composition within the pycnocline of the lower Chesapeake Bay may be identified.
